Certain white people can't fathom submitting a false confession to avoid worse consequences because those white people grew up with privilege and preference from the system. They think good always triumphs over evil and right always wins over wrong. And this is true in the long term (or at least so I believe) but the key to understanding this is that the long term in this case isn't understandable in human scale. Its in the scale of the human species. Right winning over wrong requires continuous and continued pressure to make it happen because we're not there yet
I'm a white people and I approve this message.
Yeah cards on the table, in a white dude, too. Frankly I find it hard to fathom looking at my more marginalized brethren and not listening. Maybe I'm more open to listen as a bisexual man, so I've tasted a little bit what it feels like to be othered in our society. I know it really happens because it has happened to me. But still. You have to deny the humanity of your siblings to not realize that what black, brown, and woman people say about their oppression is real.
