I don’t look for evil in everything, but when it is there, we need to see it and take a stand against it. Painting a rosy picture when so many are suffering is a testament to your privilege. Protesters protest to bring about a positive change, not to magnify the negative.
Lucky you, if you’re comfortable and content, like I am.
I can’t take credit for the color of my skin. I did nothing to deserve the unconditional love I was shown by my parents. I don’t deserve more respect than you. Or you. Or you.
I’m sick of platitudes that unintentionally blame the victims because change is a threat to your way of life.
There is no narrow, exclusive path of love. Differences don’t make other people wrong. Privilege is not perfection. It’s not even admirable.
