you don’t get to pretend to be oppressed

you don’t get to pretend to be the victims

you don’t get to complain about the inconvenience of being white

you don’t get to be selectively racist or selectively allies when it’s convenient for you

you don’t get to say that “racism is a thing of the past” or “why are people making this a race issue?”

you don’t get to say you’re not racist especially if all you do is stay silent on race issues, or reply with #alllivesmatter, or say it’s not your damn battle, or that you’re “different” and “not all white people”

We have suffered under white supremacy for generations

We have suffered centuries of cultural erasure, genocide, injustice and oppression

We have suffered through having our voices go unheard, our pain and anger suppressed, our spirits crushed by countless false promises of freedom and equality.

So if you want to insist that you are “different”, prove it. 

Use your privilege. Speak for us. Fight with us. Help us get our voices and our stories heard. This world needs to change. And if you no longer want to be seen as the root of racism and supremacy, you need to change it with us.

Sincerely, 

The Minority Communities
