Catch 22 sadly. You dress any old kind of way, they have an excuse. An excuse to deny you the job, the promotion, the project, the grant, the opportunity, the internship, whatever. Problem is, if they don't have that excuse they will 100% look for another excuse. If they ultimately can't find one then you may have a chance, OR, they will just invent an excuse that is non-existent.
So now you're not dressing for yourself, or for whoever the gatekeeper is. You're dressing for the unseen folks who will view the situation as 3rd parties, whether it's an actual review of the decision should it somehow get to that, or the general public, should it get to that.
The youngins gon get swept up in whatever going on campus, they don’t really care about Gaza but protesting and questioning authority is just something to do when you 21Black folks stay worried about the wrong things. Gaza and everything over there has nothing to do with US. A graduation ain’t the time or place to make some so called political statement. Turn your attention elsewhere.

When those graduates start real life they won’t talk about it as much
Standing against oppression is important, but if I personally don't have any cultural ties or close connection to the foreign conflict, the most you'll get from me is acknowledgement and prayers, maybe an IG story. Haiti and Ethiopia are going through conflicts now and my sentiments are the same. I don't need to be more invested in Gaza because its on the news cycle everyday.Why shouldn't Black folks care about Gaza, given our own history of oppression? Protests and revolutionary movements have often been initiated by younger generations. History demonstrates that questioning authority and standing against injustice are crucial steps toward change. Shouldn't we stand in solidarity against oppression as part of our own fight for justice and equality?

I just wish many of these other groups would ride with us the way we ride for them.

Which is why I don’t mind or oppose those that don’t want to see our people protesting for causes that don’t impact us. I’m against genocide so I care but when our people get murdered by cops we hear crickets more often than notThey never will. Again, ask a Jewish person, white American, middle eastern person etc about black Americans and you’ll get no response. I’m not concerned about their plights either. We need to worry about ourselves
During the Black Lives Matter movement, many Palestinians and African countries supported us, despite facing criticism and attacks. Although our issues may not be in the spotlight now, but during that time, we had widespread support.
Grine I THINK the reason why so many would rather, "mind their own business" because many of us don't feel the same energy is given towards our struggles.
So what do we look like walking hand-in-hand fighting for them.
We got our own stuff to worry about.
In all fairness, it was during the Pandemic and folks were home/bored and had nowhere to go and nothing to do.
Yes, they didn't have to come out but we know a lot of them were perpetrators. Hadn't heard from or seen many of them sense.
