From Safety pins, symbolism, and why I was like “naw, Son”. by KJ DOT PDF

In the same light, American minorities have the right to be angry or feel betrayed or however else they want to feel. If they don’t “get” the pin concept or don’t want to accept it, they should be allowed that opportunity as well.

e w…e being worn by those that now see America through a lens that has been ever present to minorities. They finally see the America that leads athletes to kneel during the National Anthem. They see the hypocritical America that says one thing but does another. They realize that we weren’t crazy: America is hella racist and they want to help.

Also, how friggin’ lazy is a safety pin?! Not only it is a bootleg version of the BREXIT protest (and that Marcus Troy was trying to make safety pins a fashion statement since 2013), it’s the least foolproof way of proving your allegiance of all time. What would prevent a bunch of Trump supporters or random dudes up to no-good to slap on a pin, make you lower your guard, and catch you slipping? The answer is NOTHING. Nice people don’t own a monopoly on safety pins.
