Fragile-Ass White Folks

Please shut the fuck up

This year has highlighted white fragility in a way that I’ve never seen. That’s probably because I’m a stupid-ass white male. However, that’s a story for a different time. I have been perpetually shaking my head at the absolute bitchassness demonstrated by white folks in 2020.

White folks watched Ahmaud Arbery get gunned down in the fucking street, and they immediately started building a case as to why it was justified. They watched George Floyd be murdered in broad daylight, and they immediately blamed him. They read the story of Breonna Taylor and immediately said that it was her fault; because she was “living with a thug”.

Yet, let someone call them racist for their pure demonstrations of white supremacy and racism, and watch them melt down like some plain, vanilla-ass ice cream left out in the warm afternoon sun.

No Consequences

White folks can speak freely with no consequences. They can demand that white supremacist groups have their “free speech” protected but literally shit their pants in fury when someone says the phrase “Black Lives Matter”. They feel as though they can parrot the racist rhetoric from that Orange Fuck in the White House and believe they are never allowed to be challenged.
