if you wanna call yourself an ally you should be upset when bipocs in your program are taken advantage of. you don't get to draw your ally flag out because you want everyone to think you're progressive. your bipoc classmates see right through that
i'm so fucking sick of white people saying they're in our corner and here to uplift our voice by using their privilege and using that same privilege to silence the bipocs around us if they inconvenience them or stop them from getting what they want
but then want those same bipoc friends to sign their i'm not racist permission slips when they fail to do the bare minimum as an ally. you wanna be an activist? you wanna be there for your bipocs? open your eyes and see when they're being fucked over and do something about it
your bipoc classmates have been suffering. they've been silenced. they've been shut down. and you had a hand in doing that. you still do every single time you don't speak up and put yourself above them. think about that next time you wanna call yourself an ally
