Here's the thing tho. People who are racist don't actually get distressed enough about being called racist that they shed tears. They don't think that's a bad thing. Accusations can only sting if you share the accuser's perception that the charge is a serious moral failing.https://twitter.com/johnpike15/status/995902634379759616 …

The accusation is that the tears are fake, revealing deception, not distress. Interestingly sexist accusation, BTW. Female emotional blackmail.

The reality is that only the most skilled actors can produce tears on demand to achieve an effect. Generally, people cry because they are feeling deeply distressed. Worthwhile conversations about developing resilience & thick skins can be had but not about the colour of that skin https://twitter.com/IonaItalia/status/995902988358176768 …
