So please, White people, understand that despite your "good intentions" your need to have

*Do* call out racism. Do the work! But think about the fact that
#POC carry a huge burden, greater for WOC esp from multiple minority groups -
BTW multiple abuse is just today. Every time
#POC writes, it's heaped abuse PER THREAD/POST. Most of us write multiple things any given time -
There's racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/ableism on street/going school/work/shopping/etc.
#POC face abuse ALL THE TIME online & offline - 1 more reply
