i think their point might have been -

you don’t have to, enough of this country either heard it and didn’t care, or just doesn’t care

leading a horse to water and all that, maybe?

are you white, by chance? i find that there’s a strong correlation between not understanding and caucasity - as a middle-aged white man myself, it was a blind spot for me, at least.

but also there’s a shitload of american culture that’s downright vicious to people who aren’t white, so having a community that shared something (in this case, skin colour vis-a-vis oppressive history/current events) is a powerful draw that i absolutely understand.

edit: the only people i see celebrating “white” are reactionary racists who seem to be able to not be able to tolerate others enjoying their skin colour or culture or whatever they enjoy.

i’m pretty sure the subtext of “woke” is “there are women and non-white people here”

same with “dei,” i suppose - all goes back to not liking women and poc 🙃

i’m guessing it’s because the link was posted with no context, no opinion, no nothing.

perhaps if op explains what the link goes to and why it’s a good thing, people might click it and actually engage?

i didn’t downvote, but i do understand the sentiment!
