A lot of them use their colour as leverage against us . . . they use it, and they use it very well. There’s enough people in this country prepared to listen, and turn a blind eye to what these people do.
and this is the crux of the issue, many white people believe POC, especially black people, use their race as a way to "get out" of things, when in fact they are targeted because of their skin color. Rather than holding a mirror up to our own prejudice and racisim, we shift the blame to the very people with which our racism harms. Whatever we do is violence.
