I know I’m far from the first person to ask this, but:

White people*, do you know what “can’t” even means?

I keep seeing these posts going “why can’t we [wear cornrows/bindis/dreamcatcher tattoos] [use slurs/AAVE/other people’s insider language] [display & sell cultural theft/symbols of genocide/harmful misrepresentations of marginalized people]???”

And the thing is, you can. You do. All the time.

What you’re responding to is not actually “not being allowed”. The people you hurt, we seldom have the cultural power to stop you. We’re telling you that you shouldn’t, because it’s harmful. i.e. How to be less of a horrible human being. Why does that make you so angry?

* If you want to tell me Not All White People you are part of the problem, go away.
