White violence can be a white person breaking down and crying. In fact it often is.
It might not appear this way at first, but as a brown person, when those tears start flowing I know that the narrative is no longer under my control.

I now know I feel and am unsafe.
Everything changes.

It goes from "this person has done a racist thing" and "__ are the victims of the racist thing" to focusing almost exclusively on the racist& #39;s feelings and the victims& #39; actions.
Enough white people will always fall for, or agree with whoever white annoyance is crying about being treated too harshly.

No matter how many friends I& #39;m surrounded by, the white tearshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="™️" title="Registered-Trade-Mark-Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Registered-Trade-Mark-Symbol"> work like pathetic mating call and white people will flock around and attack in unity.
And you know why this is so terrifying?

Because I know. I know what happened. I know what the white tear blob is doing and why. I know.

But I won& #39;t be believed. Any action I make will be wrong. I& #39;m not safe and no one recognises it.

And that is violence.
