I feel white narcissists are diverting these actions both online and in real life by showing up and pushing their own agendas.
They are cheering but I feel they are just along for the ride. A ride they've not been forced to be on their entire lives the way black people have.
They hide behind the agony that's been inflicted, as it's not their blood that's been shed for centuries.
The voices we need to listen to and learn from are the ones who have the most at stake in this. And they don't need us to tell them anything.
JMHO.
