yall really need to stop coddling nonblack people like kylie jenner, zayn, etc. who continue to appropriate black culture and derail conversations about black oppression because they are young like literally yara shahidi is 16 years old and has an understanding of institutionalized oppression, zendaya actively discusses racism and the importance of representation and shes 19, amandla stenberg has been talking about this stuff since she was 15/16 too like…..yall need to stop acting like nonblack people in their late teens and early 20s are ignorant only bc they are young bc when they reach a certain point, you flip it and say “its too late for them to learn now” like honestly, youth is not an excuse when 12 year old tamir rice can get shot in a park, 18 year old michael brown can die with his hands up in the middle of the street, and 17 year old trayvon martin can get shot for holding a bag of skittles and arizona

nonblack privilege is having youth bc when youre black, innocence does not exist because your criminalized from birth
