A #SpendYourPrivilege lesson from last nights #InsecureHBO:

Stop coming up to those of us with marginalized identities *after* the meeting and telling us how you “really appreciated” what we said or how you’re “sorry for how you were treated.”

SAY THAT IN THE MEETING.
It is literally one of the most irksome things in the world to have “allies” claim they have your back in private but we’re silent in public. Or who say it to ME and not our superiors.

If. You. Don’t. Say. It. When. Or. To. Whom. It. Matters. It. Doesn’t. Count.
And I’d like to say I tell “allies” this every time it happens...but it happens SO MUCH that I’d be exhausted.

It’s exhausting to be courageous and marginalized in shared spaces and stand alone til the meeting is wrapped.

Nah-I need to know who my friends are *now,* not later.
