Omg. You just want to argue. Look up the definition. There is nothing wrong with sympathy. For example:...
-
Have u ever been afraid u would get shot by a cop b/c you're black? No? Then you can't empathize. You can have sympathy for someone who has.
-
Have you read Bloom on empathy? That's probably the most recent thorough exploration of the topic. Cognitive vs emotional.
-
I have not. Have u ever been afraid that you would get shot by a cop b/c you're black or for any reason?
-
If I told you that I fear that I could die or be irreparably brain damaged at any moment, could you really not imagine what that feels like?
-
Everyone dies but not everyone is targeted bc their skin color. Non POC don't have personal perspective on racial issues.
-
They do but personal perspectives are seldom relevant. Evidence is better.

You think black ppl experiences are irrelevant? They're the most important part of the discussion bc they're the ppl effected by the outcome
