I think two things can be true. It’s not wrong to expect adults to have some compassion and to self regulate when they’re annoyed over children showing challenging behaviors in public. It’s also a fair expectation that as a parent, you remain present and at least make an attempt to redirect disruptive behaviors when sharing space with others. It’s case by case for me.
Stop telling Black folk that we’re next as if we ever stopped being targets. We told the world what was going to happen and they didn’t listen. That’s exactly why many don’t have anything left to say bc we’re just repeating ourselves at this point. I don’t agree with telling people or encouraging them to stay home bc let people fight if they want. If you claim to be resting it shouldn’t matter to you. If you wanna fight, then do it and leave your pep talks for your rally’s. Stay safe.
And no, there’s no “getting over it” bc he’s hurting us in real time as a result of your choices. Every single time he passes another harmful bill that she wouldn’t have, it’s another reminder of what you “burn it all down” crowd and his supporters did. You guys called for a fight then tucked your tails.
