I understand your empathy about others and those who are underprivileged but god damn you people make it seem like I have to walk into a damn pity party every day. I get up, work, eat, sleep, and shit just like you. I can’t fathom this idea that many non black people have it in their heads that they should feel sorry for us all the time. Like it feels like whatever accomplishment I make you have to make it seem as if I need some extra attention, like I’m the kid at show and tell who needs a forced hand clap. I don’t want to be seen as underprivileged but I want to be seen as your equal. When I see all these white celebs give up their jobs because they feel sorry it just makes me angry. No, you earned your job just like I will earn mine. It’s virtual signaling at this and tbh it’s infuriating.

Edit: didn’t know this was going to blow up!

Let’s clarify that I’m talking about white and non black people who go on pity parties for black people with out warrant, i.e going out of their way to signal that blacks are underprivileged and will never be looked at by them as their equal. There’s a difference from being upset about issues and trying to virtue signal that you’re a good white person. Black people don’t want be seen like we can’t do fo ourselves... I should say most of us because there are some who still have a mentality they can’t do anything.
