When you saw “The Hunger Games,” who did you root for? Katniss and her beleaguered community? Or people in the Capitol wearing pink eyelashes and obliviously eating until they vomited while the people in other districts starved?
Ok, next question: When you saw the protests in Baltimore, who did you feel for? Because if what you did was look down on the protestors for disturbing the peace, break out the rainbow wigs and sparkle mascara because you might be from the Capitol.

White folks can empathize with fictional white people but the minute they are faced with actual dystopian shit happening to people of color, they do not care.
This country has never stopped seeing Black people as property to exploit. We are not human. We are not people. We are the permanent racial underclass. And as such it angers those who want to keep the status quo intact.
