I hate the fact that people who aren't black UNDERSTAND that black people can't be the ones to fix everyone's clear problem with blackness but some people will only post tweets about how they "feel" us on social media, some won't even do that…
but every time some racist kills a black person or someone harasses a black person nonblack people will post "oh wow this is so gross and disgusting I can't believe people are doing this!" and that's it…
That's as far as a lot of people's care about how black people are literally being picked off one by one every second, we have to protect ourselves and be responsible for teaching yall that racism isnt okay in 2020 and that makes very little sense to me.
I as well as a lot of other black people don't have the luxury to be “shocked" by how this is happening because this is a CONSTANT fear and anxiety for a lot of us... it is more of a luxury for black people to be happy and that is not right.
And on top of all that we still have to look at people using blackness to be cool and taking from black culture and literally adding insult to injury. It’s exhausting (and when I say blackness, I’m referring to ALL types of blackness, trans black people…
every other LGBT black person, NB black people, weird black people, anime loving black people, fat black people, black people that date outside their race, disable black people ALL of them… if you aren’t talking about protecting all of them then this thread ain’t for you.
