Part of real respect is not freaking out at every imagined slight." In reality, that should work both ways. We should all be considerate of the feelings of others and not freak out at every imagined slight. Every time a black person says something unkind in reference to white people, white people need to deal with it and not imagine that it is a slight when IT IS A SLIGHT. Not so for black people because they're not "privileged" and will always tell they can't be held responsible for being asshats because they're always the victim. If that's racist, then call me a racist, I really don't care. “You know, sometimes us white folk have to accept that PoCs are going to be pissed at us sometimes.
