1. Desconfianza racial y la brecha histórica.
La desconfianza histórica de las comunidades de color hacia la población blanca se fundamenta en siglos de opresión, promesas rotas y la falta de rendición de cuentas en la vida cotidiana.
- "I feel the same. Why should anyone esp. A person of color trust us wo knowing what we stand for? Hell I dont trust white people.".
- "This is precisely the reason I dont trust any white people lecturing in any form of discrimination, especially politicians.".
- "Black people, have no reason to inherently trust white people its not on them to have to forgive wp for their transgressions because being anti-racist is constant work, you will not and can not be absolved of the past, you can only keep working.".
2. Escepticismo político y traición institucional.
Los ciudadanos expresan un profundo rechazo hacia los líderes políticos de todos los espectros, argumentando que las promesas electorales rara vez se traducen en un cambio real para las minorías.
- "I just cannot bring myself to trust a white male. Over and over again, they get in office and lie, cheat, steal, cave, accept the bribes, use their position to enrich themselves, theyre weak, cowardly and vote against women, POC children.".
- "This decade has made it particularly hard to trust a seemingly good person in politics - especially when its a cis, white male. Our experience of the last few centuries has taught us they can be the least trustworthy of our species.".
- "I dont trust white America to do the right thing. They always end up voting differently when the elections come around if its somebody who looks different from them. They are exhausting af.".
3. La crítica al progresismo y la falsa alianza.
Existe una marcada desconfianza hacia los sectores liberales y progresistas autoproclamados "aliados", a quienes se acusa de priorizar su comodidad y abandonar las causas antirracistas cuando surgen dificultades.
- "The reason Black people dont trust a lot of white liberals is because theyll get on social media, suggest this and that and write all these think pieces but when racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc from their people is presented in front of them they go mute.".
- "It is at the point where I really feel like I cant trust a single white person. And I know I am angry, and that feeling is real!".
- "This is why people who arent white men are right not to trust white progressives trying to unite with the Democratic party on economic solidarity, because theyll flip to white nationalism if they appeal to their economic anxiety and promoting whiteness above all else.".
4. El colapso de la confianza social y comunitaria.
La falta de seguridad y la percepción de un sistema judicial y de salud sesgado han llevado a una fragmentación donde la confianza solo se deposita en redes comunitarias locales y selectas.
- "How can we trust them with our lives? The last ten years have shown that, as a person of color, there are millions of people who actively want to kill me.".
- "I do not trust men who have protect Black women in their social media bios. 9.5 times out of 10, they end up being a wolf in sheeps clothing.".
- "I genuinely dont trust anyone except Black women to consistently represent the interests of everyone and remain steadfast in their allegiance to the supposed American tenets of individual liberty, freedom, and equal treatment protection under the law anymore.".
