@gawdy@mastodon.social Kindly, whether or not it’s intended, when people try to talk about the history of #slavery & the systemic abuse of #Black people & others change the subject, it can be a form of #BlackErasure. From my experience I’ve found that people do the “What about this group” most when #Black issues are brought up & it’s something all of us who aren’t #Black should be aware of. What’s happening in Gaza is devastating, it’s just not what I’m talking about here. #BLM #Blackmastodon

@ErikaSumner@mstdn.social @gawdy@mastodon.social yes and yes. When *your* life is devastated *today*, that seems more salient, to say the least. But the xenophobia and anti-Black agenda of the US administration deserves explicit opposition. For the record while the UK might have built on a kernel of truth, they probably should have just shut their trap, not to mention the US.
