Someone on twitter posted a deeply painful letter from a person that died at sea fleeing terrible conditions in Africa and claimed it was from someone escaping Sudan. When corrected, and told it was from someone coming out of a different country back in 2015. They doubled down and said ~”you’re missing the point. A person said that.”

But this genocide isn’t happening to people in general. It’s happening to Sudanis.

And it is both vile and pathetic to try and cover your ass by reducing them to “well, An African said it at Some point” because you can’t buck up and admit that you didn’t put enough care into what you shared.
