(Natural News) Are you someone who refuses to jump on every social justice bandwagon, even if you quietly agree that all men are created equal? Then you could find yourself ostracized, alone, and completely rejected by your friends and family members, at least if they read The New York Times.

The Times recently published an op-ed that instructed readers who loudly support causes like Antifa and Black Lives Matter to basically cut off their friends and family members who refuse to support “black lives either through protest or financial contributions.”

In addition to urging these same readers to help pay the legal fees “for black people who are unjustly arrested, imprisoned or killed,” as well as contribute “to black politicians running for office,” the Times says that all far-left activists need to end their relationships with anyone who does not agree to socially and financially put black lives on a pedestal above all others.

As part of a bullet point list of instructions for social justice warriors (SJWs), the Times says its readers need to text their relatives and loved ones “telling them you will not be visiting them or answering phone calls until they take significant action in supporting black lives either through protest or financial contributions.”

If you lack the financial resources to donate, the Times says that you can instead get out there and protect “fellow black protesters who are at greater risk of harm during demonstrations.” In other words, whatever time, resources, and energy you have at your disposal needs to go directly towards black lives, otherwise the white lives in your life have legitimate cause to basically toss you to the curb.

“Where does this end?” asks Mark Hemingway, a senior writer at RealClearInvestigations who tweeted a screenshot of these and other bullet point demands issued by the Times. “I want racial equality, but I utterly disdain any person or institution endorsing such tactics.”
