Once again, the system of white supremacy turns Black ppl around the world into guinea pigs. No 1st trials in Italy, the UK, or the US, etc where there are the most cases, but in an African country b/c Black bodies have always been disposable to white supremacy/capitalism https://twitter.com/chroniclesrw/status/1246157318569558016
I don’t want our understandable distrust to lead to more death b/c we will be the last to receive any treatment anyway. We are turned away from hospitals. Our pain is ignored & not seen as real pain worth treating https://twitter.com/queeringpsych/status/1112821059156434947?s=21 https://twitter.com/queeringpsych/status/1112821059156434947
Black ppl’s distrust of the medical profession is valid/real af, but also we need Black healthcare workers we can trust (who work from a systemic oppression -aware, trauma-informed practice) to share necessary info/skills since it’s so fairly hard for us to trust https://twitter.com/queeringpsych/status/1219976828573704193

Multiple truths can live at the same time.
Life is complicated and we need to dig deeper, sharing and receiving factual knowledge as communities and not living reactionary in fear/trauma
