The point about Blackness becoming flattened into a broader conversation around “marginalization” really stood out. Too often whiteness can claim proximity to oppression while still remaining structurally protected, and that distinction matters. Really thoughtful piece.
It's just saddening to see when yt ppl speak they want to relate with "their own marginalization" but it's never to fix the actually problem because their whiteness is comfort and they will never dismantle whiteness the way we need to actually thrive in society
But Blackness is usually flattened in most modern ideologies that include everyone. Like fix it. Are we not black?
