Solidarity is standing with people of colour while their voices are heard , not saving them . I don ' t understand why white men have so much trouble with this . Just STFU , be an ally and stop making it all about yourself . This whole thing of shut up about race because I feel excluded , just talk about class war only ever comes from white dudes . It ' s really fucking easy to say when it ' s not your culture , not your people , not your family that is constantly under attack from every fucking direction , from manarchist dudebro ' s to capitalist exploiters to cultural thieves of every stripe . If you find yourself arguing with a person of colour who otherwise is politically your peer , try this . Shut up , listen , and learn . Because no matter what your economic circumstances or background , no matter your experience in life , it is worse in Western society for people of colour . And if you don ' t see that , it ' s because you talk to fucking much .
