When a person of color, especially if they’re black like me, affirms their support for causes such as queer liberation, feminism, animal rights, or socialism, I immediately feel that I can believe, with minimal doubt, that they’re truly convicted and principled in what they’re advocating for.
However, when a white person claims to support leftism, until my skepticism is proven wrong, I immediately assume they’re a dishonest and performative libshit. I then proceed to interact with them with hefty amounts of caution. If my assumptions are proven true, I’m never shocked.
Don’t worry it’s a good thing lol means you’ve been paying attention to how they will always choose their whiteness over anything else, unless proven otherwise.
In any case I feel more comfortable around other Black people in general 🤷🏿♂️
