White folks, please read the whole thing so you don't take this as a personal attack because it isn't.
I'm having a moment of realization around how hard many white people are pushing back against the Black Lives Matter movement/Civil Rights Reboot... it is still white supremacy at the core, however I'm noticing one particular manifestation of white supremacy - the myth of "Bootstraps" and the lack of empathy that creates, which leads to the "what about me and my struggles" reaction that clouds the vision of many.
