So a Black security guard asked a group of white folks on a boat to move their boat so that a tour boat could dock, and the white group ended up jumping the security guard. Long story short, Black folks showed up and let these assholes know that this shit doesn't fly anymore.

Ok, look: I know it feels bad being "accused" of . I know that most of the time we're "just trying to be helpful." I've been on both sides of this.

Here's the thing — if the person you're trying to be helpful to tells you that you are not being helpful, that's that. Accept it, apologize, and move on. 👈

Trying to "explain" and "clarify" will only make you look more like a jerk. Just don't. ✋

Instead, you can go and (re)read this stellar piece of advice:

I was in a position where I had to explain a lot of "guy stuff" to women. It was pretty easy not to be an ass. I'd just say "I don't know how much you know about ___" and they'd fill it in. That way I didn't come off condescending. Also they had explicitly asked for my help.

    They call it the "Community-Industry Response Group."

    RCMP cites Standing Rock as "a case study on the current and evolving tactics used in similar civil disobedience events."

    Studies used to justify this new police group don't mention rights, and mischaracterize land claims as "resource protests."

    So I guess not doing everything possible to ruin democracy on the part of a minority of Republicans pretty much excuses the majority of the party for their ongoing efforts to crush democracy. Seems reasonable.
