Nah.
Minorities have to express their anger in the most explicit of terms in order to be heard. Keep it cute, tame, and subdued as to not upset or discomfort the mainstream majority, and they will pay no mind to you.
White people crying because they feel the word "racist" doesn't apply to them, meanwhile Black people are upset because generalizing words and ideas lead to and continue to systematically reinforce their oppression as a people, and the continuing disregard of their lives by the police. This issue is far too serious to be concerned with the feelings of the oppressor.
Like I'm sleep, y'all are "hurt" but will sleep peacefully tonight. Revel in that privilege, not everyone has that luxury.
