I just can’t fight racist anymore.

Don’t try n invalidate somebody’s personal experiences jus cause you don’t experience it personally.

I'm not saying there isn't a racism issue, I'm saying that it can draw more attention than what it's worth.

Also, if our parents n grandparents thought like you we’d still be slaves. “It’s not as bad as it was” isn’t a reason to stop seeking equality n justice for our people. The civil rights era didn’t have it as bad as the slaves, slaves didn’t have it as bad as war prisoners in Africa. Your mindset breads complacency, something we can’t afford, so I highly encourage you to honestly n genuinely reflect on this.

Complacency is for when I as an adult with a career and a bunch of other hobbies/things to do. It's not bad to focus on other things when your hands are tied.
