It’s past goddamn tiring seeing white ppl lauded for saying the EXACT SAME THINGS POC say about racism but get apathy or hostility for.

It’s great when white allies get it. It really is. But it is a problem that POC’s words aren’t valid unless white ppl repeat them.

And it erases POC further when our words & experiences are ignored unless white allies repeat them & then get credit for our perspectives.

If you’re going to boost voices of white allies that get it, at bare minimum you should be boosting the voices of POC too.
