My greatest frustration with so many white people is their complete inability to tell it like it is unless they are punching down, then they think its their godgiven right.

Too many nice white people delude themselves into thinking they are the bravest and most courageous beings in the universe but far too damn many of them are timid, frightened cowards, too dedicated to being civil and polite, to even speak up for themselves, let alone others who need them to speak.

Black people never had any choice but to have that energy to advocate for ourselves, because of the above group of people, and because our lives have always been on the line. As my mother always told me "A closed mouth does not get fed."

If you don't say anything how are people gonna hear you?

This isnt the first time I've seen this woman do this type of thing and I will always stan!
