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 agree. And I find that some WW are quick to say, “but not all of us.” Well, of course not All. I don’t generalize but I will point out what I see to be truth. I understand that some WW get the assignment- but sadly too
many do not. {some white men}
Sigh*😔 a whole other topic.
