If one more piece of crap white person asserts to me that their racism is actually an indicator that they care more about POC than POC care about themselves, I don't know what I'm gonna do but it's going to be loud and unpleasant.
Yes, black people care whether they die. Believe it or not, they are capable of loving themselves and others because they are fucking human beings.
Yes, Muslims worldwide care when other Muslims are oppressive and violent to them. Believe it or not, they don't particularly enjoy being terrorized and having their children stolen.
Yes, even subsapient animals can manage these sentiments. So the fact that anybody ANYWHERE might think that only white people know how to love is pretty much a clear goddamn sign that if anybody is deficient at it, IT IS US WHITE FOLKS. You do not get to claim superior compassion as you literally dehumanize entire categories of people BECAUSE they're being victimized and you're sure that if they really cared they'd have done something about it.

I have not (yet) encountered the ones treating this as an excuse to indulge their appetites for being raging fucksticks (or when I have, it's been the usual crowd of people who just yell "kill all the Arabs"; they aren't subtle enough to bother with sharing pictures).
It was seriously starting to bother me, feeling like one of us was on the wrong side here and that it might be me. I'm considering a Clash parody song about the killing, "Mock the Casbah."
