as a black feminist, I believe in restorative justice processes for everyone.

what Tarek has yet to demonstrate is (1) to whom is he accountable for restitution (2) by what material means has he come to understand those sentiments as not only wrong but violence in themselves. https://twitter.com/blaccbrry_/status/1265679517865123840

okay you were colorist: what darkskin black queer feminists are in your life today that can attest to the intimate struggles they’ve had with you about your colorism?
you were a rape apologist: what queer black masc folk/men who work on ending sexual violence are in your life?

this is why *who* your friends are/community is matters so much. your community should’ve stepped in as the first responders to this. so many of you do not have friends who can hold you accountable because so many of you have friends that do not have the range themselves.
