Washington Post opinion columnist Karen Attiah raised eyebrows on social media Tuesday when she argued that "many will not survive" unless there is a shift in cultural and political systems in the country.

In a lengthy thread onX,Attiah said the last few months have been "clarifying" after referencing the ongoing war in Gaza. She went on to warn "marginalized communities" and minorities to "divest" from institutions and systems in the U.S. and enter into a "self-preservation" mode, arguing that it's clear they "will not save us."

"Those of us who are minorities or come from marginalized communities— I hope the last few months have been clarifying. Our governments will not save us. Our institutions will not save us. People of color in high places will not save us. Only we can save us. Adjust accordingly," she wrote.

Attiah pointed to the decision by the University of Southern California (USC) to cancel a Muslim valedictorian's speech at the school's graduation ceremony after a series of anti-Israel social media posts she allegedly made were discovered.
