i’m dying over this person who’s like “yr just being obnoxious now.” like, no one even was talking about White people in that post though. it was only about how we felt growing up surrounded by White princesses. nobody SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ACTUAL WHITE PEOPLE.
y’all are hilarious.
It’s simply this:
“ Let me explain this by giving you an analogy. Let’s say you’re crossing the street and someone hits you with their car. They might have been going at 5 miles an hour, or 60, but either way, you’re now on the concrete, injured in some way; be it a sore body, or a mangled one. Now, let’s say that you’re still conscious, and very cognizant of every way in which your body is hurting, bleeding, burning. Let’s say you’re groaning in pain. Let’s say you’re screaming, “It hurts, it hurts!”
Now, let’s say the driver gets out of the car, start sobbing and goes, “Oh my god, I didn’t mean to do it, so you should stop saying that it hurts.” or “Every time you groan, you’re making me feel bad about the fact that I hit you! I don’t want to feel guilt!” or “I didn’t really hit you, I couldn’t have. I’m a good driver, and good drivers don’t hit people with cars!” or “I wasn’t trying to hit you! I didn’t mean to. I didn’t see you!” or “Shut up, shut up, shut up, your reactions are making me feel awful!” or “I didn’t hit you that hard. Get up and walk it off, you’re just overreacting.” or “Seriously, stop groaning. Stop bleeding. Get up and walk away! You’re making me feel guilty! You’re making me feel bad! I know I hit you with a car, but what about me? What about how I feel?” or “I’m crying because I hit you with a car, and you’re more concerned with the fact that you’re bleeding?! Why aren’t you comforting me?” or “How am I going to avoid hitting you if you won’t make sure I can see you?” or “Y’know, I got hit by a cyclist once.”
Would you feel sympathy for this driver, or would you think, “None of that compares to the pain I feel right now!” and “Stop trivializing my pain!” and This is not about you!” and, “I don’t give a fuck about your tears, you just hit me with your fucking car!””Basically your crying out in your pain is harshing their squee. Please either quit suffering or suffer over THERE where they can’t see or hear you (because that’s how they want their world to be anyway).
truth bombs.
