White People Are Cashing Out Their BLM Currency

As the summer faded, so did White allyship

“Please don’t confuse my alarm for shock. By no means am I surprised by the shift. Much of the year’s unprecedented White allyship was authored by folks who’ve donned Sandra Bland’s blindfold when facing American racism. Some convinced themselves that they possessed no lineage to American slavery. That psychological privilege is in direct opposition to the trauma attached, in some capacity, to every single African-American. Albeit, a prized possession, that privilege turns the hippie-hearted and disingenuous off to inconvenient fights. These people don’t want the smoke. And the few that do only love it when it stays in the street, clear of the fresh air that occupies their comfort zone.” — Bonsu Thompson
