Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

      how tf is saying you should’ve been mad sooner ‘discouraging’ being mad now? the only discouragement here is you tools saying - yet again, for the infinite time - that it’s ‘not the right time’ to discuss racism.
