Those are the words of Africa Brooke, London-based writer and consultant, and this is her story.
Looking back on the past two years, she soaked in wokeness and critical race theory. Deep in "social justice echo chambers" and "constant fight mode," she lashed out at people who didn't supported Black Lives Matter strongly enough or didn't share correct opinions.
Then she began to ask this important question, had she sufficiently looked into the organizations she supported, or did she just follow trends blindly? And she made a change.
Her conclusion:
"I can no longer be an active participant in any culture or movement that encourages groupthink, outrage on demand, fear and violence, revamped segregation, fabricating history, cancellations masked as accountability, self-centredness, normalisation of racism towards white people, the disempowerment of black people masked as social justice, the constant redefining of existing language, ignoring self-responsibility, constant pathologizing, oppressed vs oppressor mentality, and the pressure to conform and comply..."
