It seems like it would be more effective for you to ask for help/support/etc. from liberal white college students itching for a cause to join. They have more access to time, money and connections.

I understand the frustration with other non-white people, but I’m still supportive of solidarity with other people of color. I know that the group “Asians for Black Lives” has been relatively active in the BLM movement and that there’s an emerging movement among young Asians to address anti-blackness in the Asian…

It’s adorable how you, a foreigner, have no idea of the realities of Blackness in America. Black people here are not at all making any decisions to come to your country and do anything. The idea that Black people are “all equally American occupiers” is laughable to anyone who acknowledges our history and current…

True. So many of our “liberal allies” are so invested in seeing themselves as “good guys” that they cannot, psychologically, acknowledge the role they play in upholding white supremacy. It’s unacceptable.

I do get frustrated sometimes when I see non-black POC demand things from black people without acknowledging the anti-blackness in their own communities. I can’t get behind your generalized comment about non-black POC failing to combat anti-blackness. Quite a few non-black POC groups have participated in the Black…

I get it, but that’s why, as an adult, you say: “I’m not an authority on this so I’m not going to answer the question.”

Let’s not forget to mention the rampant anti-Black racism that exists among many groups of POC as a matter of course.

Like I didn’t realize that playing the deaths of people who look like me in a loop on national tv constituted a privilege.

Thank you! Look at the protests over the sentencing of Peter Liang over the death of Akai Gurley. I mean the main thrust of the argument from Asian protesters, was that Peter Liang is being scapegoated cause he is Asian and white police officers get to kill black people with no consequences and thus, we deserve the…

Non-black POC need to stop expecting black Americans to stand up for their plights and causes when they never show their fucking faces when something is going on for us. Nor do they combat anti-black American biases within their own communities.

To be fair, this piece was generally considered to be a fairly unethical hit job (for instance, the writer goaded MIA to have the truffle fries and then used it as a point to illustrate her privilege, as we knew from, as i recall, released tapes of the interview). Also, Ben Bronfman is in fact the son of a billionaire…

I would like for people, esp. other people of color, to stop acting as if black people are in this privileged position where everybody takes our concerns more seriously than they take the concerns of other marginalized groups.

My inner pyro is going nuts now.

“I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the…

As always, the black community has to spell out, in small words, why they deserve to be treated as people. And for the record, the average white person in this country is served poorly by morons such as yourself defending the idea that they are idiots who cannot understand English. No, BLM are not “their own worst…

It was all a misunderstanding! If only they’d said “Black Lives Matter Too! :)“ then we would all be united to end police brutality!

This. This also applies to you #bluelivesmatter d*cks too. Cops have always mattered.

How many times do people need to be told that the inherent implication behind black lives matter IS all lives matter?!?!

Oh, shit. This is the most I’ve ever liked Zuckerberg. That third paragraph is quite succinct and effective.

I feel like most popular children’s books with black girl protagonists are historical books (about slavery or the civil rights movement), and while those topics are undoubtedly very important, it’s like... Being black isn’t the only thing that black girls have to offer. And don’t even get me started on the white…
