Jonathan Kamens on Nostr: I suspect that a lot of white people in the fedi think if there were as much racism ...
I suspect that a lot of white people in the fedi think if there were as much racism as Black folks are saying then they would see more of it. However, they're misunderstanding the nature of the racism. It's not casual, it's _targeted_. The racists go out of their way to find Black people and harass them.
Since it's targeted, people who aren't the targets see only a very small fraction of it.
Black folks aren't making shit up. Listen to them.
