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.

If you do not trust them just because of the colour of their skin, then you might just be a racist. That is literally the definition of racism, friend. If I made the same example you provoded but switched skin colours around, people would say that’s racist, and they would he correct. I cannot be the only one who can see that.

Focus on the content of their character, at the individual level, not the group, that is what MLK stated and he was quite right. It’s has not been 1979 for 45 years. Times change. Statistics prove this.

Sounds like something a WHITE PERSON would say. Hey everyone! There's a white guy over here!
