White Liberals Are Already Failing Post Election
The Entitlement and Privilege Just Leaps Out, Huh?
On social media, there were a lot of Black people and people of color who wondered whether Biden/Kamala winning the presidential election would shift white people’s focus away from marginalized communities. Unsurprisingly, but still annoyingly, that shift has already commenced. It was marginalized communities of Black people—especially Black women, Latinx people, Indigenous people, disabled people who not only rallied themselves, but did amazing work to fight voter suppression, and register a slew of new voters. But apparently, now that Biden won, we have to focus on the most important thing—how white people are feeling. All this demonstrates is that you were never a part of the fight, and your privilege and entitlement means it’s time to go back to ignoring the injustices that will continue for the rest of the communities.
And you’re scared because it was our collective work that did this—not you. White people voting for trump increased with this election—white women went from 53% to 55% with record voting this year so please refrain from using the “not all white women” or trying to add the caveat “those white women who voted, you mean” because all this does is make you look foolish and makes us see exactly who you are: a faux ally.
