And Whatabout Your Black People...?

This post is a genuine person, expressing their real despair at what is happening right now and how it has happened before and how nothing will be done to stop it.

I am not criticizing the author and in fact I feel that despair myself. However I do think that is something that could be twisted and weaponized into “there is no point in doing anything and we should give up” so I wanted to hilite it here for thoughts on how tell the difference when a bad actor is espousing giving up and how to help others and ourselves when we genuinely feel this bleak.

Edited to be clear I was not looking to have the original post moved
