It means that you screwed up. You put yourself in a position that jeopardizes you.
I would imagine that such a newsletter includes:
Wearing a hoodie
Being an uppity white woman - get struck for that yet? aren't uppity enough
Being a black male. He's up to no good, and just because...
Being a black female. You got dragged to jail because you were in the emergency room for blood clots and you said you have severe pain in your legs to the point that you cannot walk.
You screwed up because you aren't Republican, you aren't male, and you aren't white. That is your problem and leave the poor white republican men out of it.
I am very upset that this seems to be our national discourse.

You aren't allowed to note that if you aren't a white male, because only white males have the authority to offer an opinion on racism, sexism or class bigotry.
