For far too many, people have been "flat out shitty" to them for literally hundreds of years, with treatment vastly worse than losing your Twitter followers. Enslavement, lynchings, enforced segregation, decades of murder at the hands of unaccountable law enforcement, a multi billion dollar industry designed to industrialize their incarceration to the highest level in the world...and as parts of society begin to really try to voice this problem more substantially than ever before, other people who have implicitly benefitted from their system "feel" a little bit awkward that this is all very bewildering to them, and that they in fact are being called out for ignoring a vast system of human rights abuses that's been taking place right under their noses. How on earth can this situation be improved without these people "feeling" a little bit uncomfortable?
