I know the feeling. I had a coworker tell me that everything was great (in my work ethic) until 'George Floyd happened' and she thought I just lost my ish. I explained to her I was sorry she didn't see any significance in the global uprising against racism. She wasn't a friend, but it's still so hard when people just don't care what you go through, or take racism to be your problem because you are speaking against it. Racism isn't the problem, it's that I talk about it that is the problem in her view.
