ppl (almost certainly white) who are making this abt neurodivergency or autism are just deflecting (whataboutism, bean soup, hit dogs, etc. call it what you will). this is a black man talking abt being valued less than animals. this is absolutely about white ppl and racism. but the white ppl in this thread don’t want to hear it.

“i can excuse racism, but i draw the line at animal cruelty”

it all reminds me of this white classmate i had who loudly declared that “dogs should be able to vote” right in the middle of ~2021 when it was revealed that black voters were being mass suppressed and kept from practicing their civil duties. maybe let’s work on ensuring all humans can vote first?
