It’s really not that hard to a civilized and curious person.

If you want to know something, just ask. I’m an open book if one engages is good faith.

Unfortunately what has happened over the last few days affirms my sentiment of how many people who proclaim to be leftists have the same methodology and engagement style of any common racist.

Many people want to perceived as rational and thoughtful, but do not act thoughtfully or rationally when engaging with the complex experience of being Black and Brown on the fedi.

And that’s a choice. That’s not just how people are. It’s a definitive decision to withhold the respect and empathy for people they deem unworthy while expecting that in return.

And I am very specific with how I respond to people who engage in this type of biased behavior. And it’s not going to be with kid gloves.

The premise is quite simple. If you don’t want to treated like a bigoted asshole, don’t act like. Easy.

I don’t want to hear how your being treated unfairly because you decide to launch into a hateful rant targeting someone you don’t know and hasn’t engaged with you at all.
