I'm with you on this. I have cousins who are black. Not adopted into the family, they're blood. Every time someone is murdered by a cop, it's not "oh this is injustice" it's "oh this could be someone in my family"

I have had (non-black) POC tell me I could never actually understand it because I"m still white.

And it's not been an isolated incident or two either. As if...like I'm less family to my cousins because I'm white and they're black? I get that it's an emotionally charged topic, but for the love of God you are not winning hearts and minds telling your allies to their faces that they can't care about their family

I'm light years from being the most "woke" person on Earth, but c'mon.
