When people dismiss the concerns of others, either you're not listening or you never cared.

To hear a trend of similar concerns, make light of it and then say "that concern isn't valid" shows your privilege, at best, and your ignorance, at worst.

And it's mostly white people who do this. Sadly, mostly men as well.

Just because something isn't SOMETHING to you doesn't mean that it isn't something.

That hide your hand tactic, because that's how it comes across, is a tenet of white supremacy. It's a way to coddle yourself and make yourself feel better because you don't want to face the reality that you're once again diminishing the voices of marginalized people.

You're centering your feelings because you feel they matter above anyone and everything else.

...and let's see the games start in 1, 2, 3 because something hit too close to home.

I wholeheartedly agree & will add that IMO it speaks to the lack of compassion. Example: I once had a white preacher reply to my question, “why don’t more white pastors preach on #racism ?”
“Because it doesn’t concern “them.”
The them being those white pastors & their white congregation.

I knew I had to leave organized religion when my white pastor expressed his feelings on Confederate statues being removed & I challenged him on it.
