nbd just thinking about unjust hierarchies, and the white people committed to preserving them, because doing otherwise might be personally and individually uncomfortable
how do we build a culture of community care in the face of people who act like this?
this isn't just about masking, though we can draw a throughline from here to there.
like, we've found ourselves in a situation with people where socially we can only be seen as doing harm, and can never be harmed ourselves, weird scapegoaty shit, and we're the ones expected to be "accountable", but we're not allowed to expect other people do to better by us
talking about it? well that just means we're dangerous because we haven't gotten over it. not talking about it? well that just means we're dangerous because we're trying to "avoid accountability". can't win!
