Lord. When will #White #women who are inherently privileged recognize that this new #Karen discomfort is paltry compared to what #POCs have ALWAYS had to experience? Making discussions around systemic #racism about their own needs, instead of asking “how can I help?”, feeds into the narrative upon which #systemicracism was founded. #ItsNotAboutYou

A thought they were immune to covid because they had a mild case once in 2020, or if they did catch it again they were guaranteed to have a mild case again.

A hadn’t thought about possibly giving it to the family, particularly their 80-something year old mother.

A wasn’t aware my husband almost died of the disease earlier this year, and is still managing heart and lung damage that may be permanent.

Husband and I followed him outside and took him down, hard.

I would much prefer a #NYC #Thanksgiving parade that is focused calmly, intelligently and insightfully on the parade, floats and its participants rather than all about promotion and self-promotion.
