BLM?

ALL lives are not being target and worked against in systematically oppressive & institutionalized manners. But, BLACK lives are. It doesn’t help you to allow yourself to ignore this. It isn’t an attack on you to bring much needed attention to an area of issue. To have this problem keeps us all from reaching our potential. You are not being attacked. But when you voice that you FEEL that way, you may be showing more of your position than you intended to.

-If you don’t understand this or if you feel upset by the idea,
-if you feel that this mal treatment doesn’t exist,
-if you use, not immediately making themselves meek and small, to victim blame,
-if you feel that it’s not possible that these systems exist,
-if you feel the need to defend yourself when you see this, you may be experiencing cognitive dissonance.

Do your due diligence and educate yourself. Take off your blinders. And this dissonance in time will leave you.

In the meantime, take a moment to acknowledge how uncomfortable you feel, that is possibly a very small fraction of how your comments through privileged of ignorance makes those of us who aren’t able to be so blissfully blind feel. If there were a properly composed intelligentsia geared toward positive progression, you wouldn’t be in it. #DoBetter #VibrateHigher
