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.

    70% percent of white people do not associate with a single person of color and considering the racist nature of the media and politics they consume, it is absolutely appropriate for the average POC to assume a racist character until proven otherwise, especially considering this 17th century make-believe colored coded caste identity holds so much political and economic power over the rest of us

    Unless of course you want to claim white people are oppressed because their skin is the color of uncooked pizza dough? Is that what you're saying FriendBesto, are the Marshmallow Minions oppressed, my heart goes out to you you poor devils
