[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the privilege that lies beneath the logic - we will go to BLM events because those are essential but not work a menial job because that is a risk. My teen is babysitting this Summer because she won’t be able to buy books next semester if she doesn’t. She is not going to BLM events because she is working. [/quote] +1. I hate the phrase, but...you seriously need to check your privilege, OP. You're going to BLM events because it makes you feel self-righteous, just like it makes you feel self-righteous to chide others who are desperately trying to keep their jobs and take care of their much-loved children. Another PP who suggested your kids, if they really want to "do good" (and I'm not saying they're as oblivious as you, because they may well not be), would be better off offering free childcare to low-wage workers of color, was spot-on.[/quote]
