    Kinda like how sometimes people of colour tell white people to be ashamed of something their ancestors did ?

      Except it’s usually more like

      “This is something that happened”

      “Why are you trying to shame me?!”

      I mean, I see a lot of white people chanting pride about what their ancestors did. Do we really need to let that normalize?

      Weird, no person of color ever told me to be ashamed of what my ancestors did. Do you think maybe you might have said something offensive that prompted such a response?

      A bully saying mean things to you is different from the school administration discriminating against your whole race. Except in this case the bully is a handful of people and the school is the government in the past.

      If you can’t see the difference, you might be blind.
