| Topic | NYT writer demands whites cut off contact w/ relatives unless they join protests |

My goal is to be left to support people however I choose without being told I'm against a movement for not supporting it their specific way. Like... I don't donate money on autism awareness week. Does that mean I'm tacitly in support of making autistic people suffer? What about during Woman's History month? If I don't donate to a shelter or disown anyone else who doesn't does that mean I endorse domestic abuse? There are a trillion causes out there, and I support many of them when and how I can, so anyone demanding that I support in some specific way or consider myself a part of the problem can fuck off. I didn't change any social media icons for blackout tuesday. I'm not donating to bail funds. I'm not disowning people who are avoiding crowds and skipping protests. I actively vote for candidates who support police reform. I donate my time every year to teaching lego robotics to poor kids, many of them black. I visit local schools to give talks on engineering and help teachers find free resources to teach STEM in the classroom, all on my own time. If you demand my support in a specific way under threat, I'll take my support to other good causes who won't. Then you can debate me on whether I'm a bad person for putting my money towards cancer research instead of bail funds. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
