Liberal white people want to ally, want to show solidarity, want to really make sure the world and anyone who isn’t another white person knows that they are not bad, that they are not the bad kind of white person.
During the election a lot of bad happened, however the ridiculous solidarity safety pin came out, essentially so white people could strap on a safety pin and lose a tad of their white guilt.
Ok, maybe I am being a bit heavy, these people are trying! But they are harassing the hell out of many black friends and online aquantences begging for tips on how not to be racist.
AND now, maybe they have the perfect way to get the advice and deal with the guilt that they crave so much!
