1) Calling out liberal bigotry isn’t racism

2) If ‘unity’ means being silent about liberal bigotry, no thanks

3) We can multitask & don’t have to choose between fighting racism & focusing on the election

4) Liberals resisting Trump isn’t the same as Blacks resisting injustice
5) We don’t have to say #NotAllWhitePeople to assuage liberals

6) If truth about liberal bigotry ‘alienates’ you, you were never genuine

7) If being offended affects your allyship, you were never an ally

8) You don’t get to dictate how Black people speak about their oppression
9) You don’t get a door prize teaching ‘in the inner city’ and going home to the burbs

10) Tweeting isn’t real activism, it doesn’t make you a ‘resister’ or an ‘ally’

11) Announcing you’re unfollowing because you’re offended by the truth of liberal racism is childish, grow up
12) Accusing Blacks of being Russian trolls or undercover Trumpers because they criticize liberals is racist & manipulative

13) Calling Blacks ‘divisive’ for criticizing liberals is racist & manipulative

14) Telling Blacks to shut up for ‘unity’ is racist and manipulative
15) Accusing we who call out liberal bigotry of ‘hating white folks’ is weak, obtuse & no better than MAGAts

16) If you have to ask ‘how does this help’ when we confront liberal bigotry, you’re part of the problem

17) Threatening you’ll no longer support reveals who YOU are
18) If your ‘help’ can be ‘turned away,’ we don’t need it

19) If you think injustice started with Trump you need a history lesson

20) If you started ‘resisting’ on 11/9/16 you need to shut up and listen, not try to lead or dictate the terms of how we ‘resist’
21) This is about Black lives, not your feelings. Our lives are more important than your %#* feelings

22) You can go home after the protest and be white with all of the privilege that comes with it. We’re always Black in a racist America

23) Allies don’t direct, they assist
24) Trump just made the racism that already existed more pronounced. Where were you before he got in office?

25) When Trump is gone and Blacks are still fighting racism will you be ‘resisting?’

26) You should not ask for our VOTES if you don’t want to hear our VOICE
27) If we do not address racism among liberals, we have no right to criticize it among conservatives. We need moral consistency.

28) Republicans want to disenfranchise black votes, Democrats want to harness them without prioritizing the concerns of black voters.
29) Everyone criticizing liberals is not a Russian troll. Liberals can be and deserve criticism. Grow up.

30) Liberals have been and still are complicit in anti-black racism. Being unwilling to accept and grapple with that reality makes you unworthy to call yourself an ally.
