Vanta could have easily reached out to me so we could talk about it but made the choice to take the word of bigots over the person that has actually been experiencing abuse for as long as I’ve been on the fedi.
This choice is not an accident.
This is a specific choice by a person who values whiteness over community and context.
This is how white supremacy perpetuates itself.
It forgives the constant harm of bigots easily and without examination while demonizing the people who are the targets of it and ignoring the context of how we deal with it.
