I’ve seen so many apologies on the TL related to the #JessicaKrug from people who excused her behavior because she said she was “from the hood.” Why do so many people think that Black folks from the hood “just don’t know any better?” 1/
That in itself is dehumanizing. As a person who grew up in subsidized housing on the Southside of Chicago, I can say that our communities are worthy of grace AND accountability. Grace, without accountability, breeds abuse of power. 2/
Give people grace, yes, but not too much that you excuse their harmful behavior, that you excuse their abuse of power, that you excuse their abuse of people. If you feel guilty about growing up with financial and social capital, go to therapy and work that out within yourself. 3/
