As a brown person who lived in the south, my life wasn't better because nobody talked about racism in the south, or covered it up in a flowery way.

People have to live through this, it's horrible, and pretending everything is fine is the excuse those people are looking for to make it worse because clearly nobody cared.

Slaves weren't freed because northern liberals stopped talking about it, they were freed because someone said "no" and made it stick.
