The lady nails it. I'm glad to see more and more decent blacks speaking out against their own race. It's becoming a huge problem. And the politicians on both sides are either pushing for it (Jasmine Crocket) to get worse or ignoring it (pretty much any white Republican). Depending on which side of the isle they're on.

 
What you racists describe as black fatigue isn't black fatigue.

This is black fatigue

Black people, young and old, are fatigued, says award-winning diversity and inclusion leader Mary-Frances Winters. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining to continue to experience inequities and even atrocities, day after day, when justice is a God-given and legislated right. And it is exhausting to have to constantly explain this to white people, even—and especially—well-meaning white people, who fall prey to white fragility and too often are unwittingly complicit in upholding the very systems they say they want dismantled.

Black people are quite literally sick and tired of being sick and tired.


In other words, we're tired of you racists and your bullshit like taking terms such s black fatigue and twisting its meaning to continue your racism..
 

Black Fatigue Now Has a Double Meaning Thanks to Racism​

Racial discourse in America is a lot like two ships passing at night. Despite the proximity of groups, they are not communicating in earnest. There is no call-and-response pattern. Consider, for instance, within the black community, that “woke” refers to “awareness of racial justice.” Yet, outside of it, the term has become a catch-all phrase to bemoan any progressive policy. Some use it as a slur to diminish Black people in particular. Introducing this new, confounding definition muddles the signal. In the social sciences, we call this intentional distortion of meaning hermeneutical injustice, as it creates a collective gap in understanding that unfairly restricts someone’s ability to convey their experience. There is no reason why two ships passing at night can’t communicate. Those onboard could talk via radio if they wanted. Yet, mismatched meanings of terms make constructive discourse a challenge.

Another example would be racists creating a second meaning for “black fatigue.” Years before some white people began to use the term to express their frustration with Black people and their pursuit of racial justice, the phrase had an official meaning. Mary Frances Winters, the author who coined the term, defined it as “repeated variations of stress that result in extreme exhaustion and cause mental, physical, and spiritual maladies passed down from generation to generation.” This phrase encompasses Black people’s collective fatigue. If white people were listening to Black people, what they would hear is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion produced by the nation’s lack of racial progress. But, sadly, the flippant second meaning elevated by some white people frames “black fatigue” as their exhaustion with Black people. Overlooking its original meaning clouds the waters between the two.

While “black fatigue” is relatively new phrasing, the notion isn’t. Think back to the winter of 1964, when civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer spoke at a New York rally. She said, “For 300 years, we’ve given them time. And I’ve been tired so long, now I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, and we want a change.”


So what we have seen is a purposeful distortion by the right in order to stop any meaningful discourse aimed at racial unity. To make it even simpler, it is the American right, based in the Republican Party, that keeps us divided.

Black fatigue is people getting sick of that gangsta, entitlement, victim attitude. Black people hitting or killing whites for saying nigr. Or all the looting they've been doing for years. Or like the black lady at Target trying to steal $1000 worth of stuff, saying it's "reparations."
 
"If all whites left America, blacks would turn the country into a ghetto in 3 days."
