Honestly, Maryam Hasnaa chapped my ass last night. Spiritual Twitter or woowoo twitter as @lebomashile calls it can be snaaks. The intersectional feminism framework & common sense are often ignored. Pray tell why last night of all nights she decides to kumbaya European ancestors?
Black people are literally bleeding and she has time to kumbaya situations. What annoys me about many woowoo people is that they can often be disillusioned, they think being spiritual means you must turn the other cheek and not actively fight bullshit and oppression. Sies
In good conscience, how do you practice healing, especially as an African that is centered for Africans. While you insist on slut shaming, body shaming, being queerphobia, anti-choice, capitalistic, and misogynistic, your words seep with disdain for Black women & queers?
And white people, and so called POC are the only motherfuckers on earth who can take time to kumbaya the pain and death of Black people for hundreds of years. Not today, Satan. These ones think healing and being spiritual cannot coincide with burning shit to the ground.
I don't centre white folks in this realm, why am I centering them in the next realm? No. That was some tacky bullshit on her part. It was dunked in anti-Blackness, rolled in misogynoir & served with a side of kumbaya. I'm struggling to unpack all the reasons it chapped my ass.
Listen, any other time of the year - I'd do a young eye roll at the hoteppery and move on. But during this period, where Black people are being killed during a pandemic, you decide to be fucky. The timing nje? Please don't. PoCs are a problem too.
Yeah, no. I am seething with anger truly because it absolutely minimises people's experiences of trauma and oppression. In a way of basically saying if we did the work, these people would take their feet off our necks when we're unarmed? They need to do their healing journeys.
