I don’t get people who try counter the BLM movement with the “look, I’m not racist, I have black friends” line.

If you have black friends then

WHY 👏🏻 AREN’T 👏🏼 YOU 👏🏽 FUCKING 👏🏾 WORRIED 👏🏿 ABOUT 👏🏿 YOUR 👏🏾 FRIENDS 👏🏽

I live in fear for my black friends.

I worry that my black Jewish friends will be stopped by the cops guarding our synagogues because they don’t “look Jewish” enough

I worry that two of my friends who are both black men in interracial marriages with biracial sons will be suspected of kidnapping their own children because their little boys have fairer complexions

I worry that my friends in STEM will be stopped by campus police on suspicion of breaking into the labs in which they are PhD students and lab managers

I worry that my friend who is an AD for various films and TV shows will get pulled over when she’s on a location shoot somewhere rural and get assaulted

I worry that the black librarians I work with won’t make it home if they run an evening program or work a late shift on the desk one night

Like, forget political ideology for a minute. If you aren’t worried about your black friends being victimized by police brutality then YOU ARE A BAD FUCKING FRIEND.
