A proposito di questo titolo
Since 1619, white America has survived by repeating one lie: “It doesn’t affect me.”
While Black Americans endured slavery, lynching, Jim Crow, redlining, mass incarceration, police violence, and voter suppression, white people stayed comfortable — silent — protected.
Now that authoritarianism, state violence, and loss of rights are creeping into white spaces, people are panicking.
Let’s be clear: this is still a watered-down version of what Black Americans have lived through for centuries.
Most white Americans are still insulated — still in picket-fence denial — still pretending none of this matters. That silence isn’t neutral. It’s complicity.
If you’re uncomfortable, good. Discomfort is overdue.
The question is simple: will white America finally act, or keep hiding behind privilege until it’s too late?
