It took me a lot of reflection to get here. Maybe it can save some others a bit of time.

I bear the guilt of waiting until now to fight for my brothers of another color. Neutrality in the face of injustice supports the oppressor.
GnomeDeGuerre
One should talk about what needs to be discussed, silence isn't golden.
lmaolmao
If a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing badly. Give it a go, if you can't do it all. That's okay. A little is better than none.
neckbeardweebinjapan
if you're below average you're dragging everybody down.

The second sentence is really flying over a lot of people right now
crimsonghost1
No. It's not. You just get taken advantage of and left behind.
CynicalEuropean
You you?
thanatos777
But if you can get out there on the front line and protest, you should totally do that.

Thank you for sharing this, @OP. I needed to hear it.

People with greater responsibility are expected to do more. It's in the job description.

"if you have done nothing wrong" this is true of essentially no one. Recognize your faults, and know that it's okay, no one is perfect.
Shismouche
Never cared about one person's skin color, everyone looks pretty human to me. I think it's nothing wrong really

Jokes on everyone...this a qoute from a cop

There are some very shrill voices that will disagree most vociferously with this. You are stained with the sins of your ancestors to them.
FrozenWatcher
Or percieved ancestors. My family immigrated in 1907, we didn't participate in the whole slavery thing.
SemperParatus14
Thank you. I needed this. I'm trying to be introspective and change what I can change and stand up where I can.
SakuraSunsets
Thank you, I needed this.
Variq
After today, this is what I needed. Thank you.
dogdays2025
This is good
thanatos777
To be clear: if you are a cop who stays silent in the face of a total lack of accountability, you are not a good person.
gztrack01
Yes, some will do more but don't excuse the ignorant/complacent to think it's enough to just be "good" which is subjective to self bias.
sjbrooksy7447
I'm none of these things, but I try to be rational and logical.
mrrhombus
Being Human is more than being rational and logical
KatrinaLatina
That usually works out, add it to the list of enough.
Sokonomi
I will not be guilttripped into feeling sorry for something I did not do, nor will I allow someone to be blamed for nothing.
Sokonomi
Bear your shame and turn it into humbleness. For being humble isnt a weakness, it is a show of strength and wisdom.

Well, that's easy to say if you aren't one of the groups of people being profiled, abused, and murdered. The "someone else will fox it" -

Treat everyone the way you'd want to be treated if you were in their place. It ain't brain science & rocket surgery. Be a decent person who

isn't filled with hate. Stop hating. Well, except for hating The Cheeto and macho cops who beat people just protesting. They've earned it.
Affray
Hate is only unhealthy if it never leaves. Small pockets of well aimed hate can accomplish some good things.
eybex
No it isn't, according to the vast majority of toxic social media. If you are not with them in a socially signalled way, you are against 1/

them. They go to rallies and say that your silence = violence. War is peace. Up is down.

Take care of yourself. Because nobody else will.
neckbeardweebinjapan
sadly not true.
Andhereweare
Take care of yourself and others you feel like to. Just don't expect the same. Expectation is cruel.

maybe if people spent more time doing this instead of reeee and "protesting" things would change.

I agree that it sucks that people haven't historically turned up to vote for the things they said they believe in. But these protests are /1

Helping us shine a light on the injustice and show us that we can and should all be better. Not trying to fight you, just trying to say
Hanabalulu
That this is important. And I have hope that times will change for the better
DeadlyEnzyme
I can name literally thousands of people that would be angry and say doing this isn’t enough
DickDastardly404
The entirety of christendom? Being good isn’t enough, and not having guilt is a sin in itself.
IDONTUSEMINDCONTROLANYMORE
Impressive, I can give you random names but at some point they'll just become incoherent noises.

Nothing can be enough, and it's about doing what we can. There's certainly people operating below capacity. It is what it is.
TheBulletKnight
And if those thousands of people could look farther than their mirrors and follow this, the world might be a better place.
MyHemroidsAreAngry
You know a lot of ppl.
LordSintax79
It is entirely possible to both fight the good fight AND be an asshole.
scooterthefrog
And those people as a general rule will be doing nothing but unproductive bitching and whining about their feels. Fuck em.

AKA Twitter.
GurdenRabsyKittenKnightbears
Yo fuck twitter
lilmookieesquire
I don't even know a thousand people :(
lovemetenderlovemesweet
He meant twitter
lilmookieesquire
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh~
DwedPiwateWoberts
That’s impressive. I can’t literally name a thousand people for anything.
urukhello
I can read the extended edition lotr fan club credits. Does that count?
uhohstop
I can name a thousand Johns.
DeadlyEnzyme
It helps to have Snoop Dog’s Instagram follower list
RelartOfGivia
Charger's fans?
leeloumultipass
I don’t even know 10 people.
PodsMckenzie
I don’t know that I could come up with 1000 of anything, except maybe movie titles. And even that would take hours
KuddleWumpous
I could probably give 1000 reasons I'm not enough
IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
I can't literally name a thousand people period.
admeaz0123
Thats why googz is there.
itsfunnythatwordsmeanthings
Sure you can! Just call them all Period.

That is how we got in this mess.

I can't name 30. Once I forgot my own name. Not the best way to start an university oral exam, if you're curious.

Luckily yes, I did know the answers to everything else, so the teacher just rolled his eyes and let me pass
