White people often show outrage when Black ppl do “bad things.” But they are often silent when white ppl and the systems they’ve built, which are steeped in white supremacy, do bad things *to* Black ppl. This is a thread about how the Will and Chris incident became about race. 🧵
White people’s seeming disregard for Black lives, and the inconsistency in which they apply their outrage makes white people’s response to almost any situation involving Black people, however justified, feel almost wrong in and of itself. This is especially true when
white people start virtue signaling and grandstanding—
i.e. when they try to speak from a place of moral authority, speak about right and wrong in absolute terms without nuance, and try to enforce rigid “standards of conduct” onto others, that they themselves can’t even uphold.
