That’s pretty much what I mean.

This post is insinuating that a number of the people upset now should have been upset when it wasn’t white people dying.

And I agree. Many of us were already upset.

But making that point this way is unhelpful. It feels like potentially a way to divide those who are trying to resist. “I was angry before it was mainstream, you new protesters are racists.”

Which could very well not be the intention of the person making the point. They could be trying to simply say, “Understand that people had already been killed, and if you knew that and weren’t angry, be better” or something.

But it is so incredibly easy to make people in big tents infight and focus on idealogical purity rather than uniting to fight the opposition. And it’s something we need to avoid if we want to be successful.

When it comes to fighting fascism, my enemy’s enemy is my friend.

So on the assumption that this comic was posted in good faith, I think merciful correction or gentle disagreement is more useful.
