Being assaulted does warrant sympathy.

Being assaulted doesn’t warrant racist white people appropriating racism.

See how simple that is?

The issue is that white people aren’t content with the sympathy due assault victims. No, that’s not enough for them. They feel entitled to more. They act like 4 year old brats who see a kid with a toy they don’t have. Only the “toy” is systematic oppression enforced by white supremacy. But they don’t have it and white folks feel entitled to steal everything.

So naturally, when called out for this gross racism, white play make-believe and insist people are blaming white people for being assaulted. Why not? They were already playing make-believe by acting like they suffer institutional racism, after all. What’s one more massively unsupported lie on top of that?

If it ain’t nailed down, after all.
