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.
The only white people i trust are David Gilbert, Judy Clark, and the United Freedom Front people.
I’ve also met plenty of opportunistic and full of shit non-white activists. Just FYI. don’t get conned.
But your instincts are correct. Most white people are not to be trusted to varying degrees.
