Please stop saying you’re “shocked” over George Floyd’s death. It's gaslighting.
points out, though, this “passive empathy” is just not enough.
A protester holds a sign while demonstrating against the death of George Floyd outside the 3rd Precinct Police Precinct on 26 May 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Cargle adds: “Your shock isn’t enough. Your wow isn’t solidarity. Your actions are the only thing I can accept at this point. And if that is too much to ask of you, dear friend, feel free to let yourself out of this community because complacency is not welcome here.”Cargle is 100% correct, of course. If white people are still “shocked” by racist violence, then we haven’t been paying attention.
Police officers attended the call but said no summonses or arrests were made over what the New York police department called “a verbal dispute”.
