So what you meant by that was essentially nothing. Empty words intended to validate something when you don’t even know what that thing is. And I’m supposed to feel what, validation and gratitude?
I appreciate that you were trying to be nice, but in your ignorance, you instead said something offensive. I’ll allow you an outburst and a bit of hypocritical name calling, but once you compose yourself, why not try to understand my point of view. I would love if you genuinely considered what you would say to an abolitionist as a slave owner. What could possibly be said that would be considered “nice”?
No. I am not. I am being quite literal and sincere, but you can’t seem to wrap your head around that.
We are (literally) abolitionists. You are (barely metaphorically) a slave owner. We don’t want your insincere validation. We don’t want your disingenuous expressions of respect. We want you to stop treating individuals as property.
