Read on Twitter
If you take this moment of anger and pain and use it to try and call someone unprofessional or aggressive you are a morally reprehensible person. I've had the cops called on me by white women cherry picking tweets I've made out of the anger I have from seeing racists get
away with murdering, terrorizing and assaulting innocent people. Right now in particular, Black men are being murdered for just existing. We live in a racist society and it is disgusting to expect anyone to NOT be angry when nothing is changing. Anger is okay, anger is
expected. If you see someone making a tweet that says "I hate white people" and your first instinct is to dismiss them as hysterical and unprofessional, you need to check yourself. Time and time again white people weaponize the police to try and murder Black people. How many
times have those attempts succeeded? Anti-Blackness is woven into American society and if you're non Black, it is our responsibility to call racism out, make people take accountability, utilize our privilege in any way we can. Fun fact: I am on probation from my university
because 4 white people combed through my personal twitter, screenshotting all my angry tweets about the racism I was experiencing and was seeing, and submitted it to the university saying 'they felt threatened'. One of them filed a police report. I didn't mention any of them
by name, the tweets had NOTHING to do with them but we had conflict happening anyway because they'd been racist towards me before and they dug through my social media to find anything they could to weaponize against me. and it keeps happening! White people keep weaponizing their
whiteness to MURDER others. I'm so freaking lucky, I only got some ish with my university. But people are allowed to feel angry and if you are white and you see that shit, you see someone angry and frustrated and suffering and tweeting about how destructive white supremacy is
and your first instinct is to take it as an attack on you? Get over yourself. You know it's not about you. You know you're fine. Your feelings aren't important, hell my feelings aren't important right now. If you're non Black but ESPECIALLY if you're white, use your
privilege. Donate, call your representatives, protest. Being professional is done, it's gone, being angry is real and valid and if you're not angry I really really want to know why. How are you so okay with this that you're not seething? I don't understand.
