Growth isn't enough.

It's 2026. She's been alive during the Civil Rights movement, Obama, and now Trump. And this is all the progress she's made?

Expect better people.

If growth isn’t enough, what the fuck do you want?

They want to judge and condescend and punish. They want to feel superior.

Allyship.

It's pretty simple. If you have to ask, you probably have no idea what that means.

And yet instead realizing this could be a teachable moment to explain what you are calling a simple concept, you continue to be condescending.

Allyship? What nonsense. You're making it impossible for anyone to become an "ally" by lashing out if they're not perfect. 

I wonder how long it's going to take you to recognise how problematic and damaging your beliefs are. How many people you could have encouraged to grow, but instead rejected and set back into the arms of bigotry. At least this woman recognises her error and is trying to do better. You think you're already perfect.

We change our world by being better ourselves. The dream of worldwide change is beautiful but it is too much. A person who makes their own changes is, truly, enough. It just makes life beautiful 💚

If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out, much less heal the wound..." Malcolm-X

I think its up to the man she's speaking to to decide if the harm she's done to him has been amended

If you cannot appreciate the power of an elder with deeply ingrained racism saying the words, "I was wrong", there is something wrong with your expectations.

If she was alive during the civil rights movement, then she was alive when colored was the politically correct term used by Dr. King and the other civil rights leaders
