I think it really says something about the system we live in - and the lies we tell ourselves - that making a post three days ago about the difference in attention and coverage white female victims and poc victims experience has thus far resulted in death threats, insults, ableism, being told I am ‘jealous’ of the victim, being told I am ‘blaming’ the victim. Being told I am making it a ‘competition.’ That it is the wrong time to discuss this issue. That blah, blah, fucking-blah.
If not now, when can we have that conversation?
A month from now? Shall we schedule it in?
We won’t. Because people don’t care the same way.
And that is the brutal, ugly fact that is not going to go away.
