Sometimes the best allyship requires just shutting the fuck up & letting people express a pain, anger, fear and sadness that you will never possibly understand. If non violence is your bag, fine sit down & kumbaya yourself into oblivion but don't tell black ppl how to feel/act.

Read a book.
Put your hand in your pocket.
Meditate on it.
Educate yourself. Google is free.

THEN DO SOMETHING.

(you'll know what that is when you do the work. You have to do that work for yourself first.)

This thread is brought to you by my menstrual cycle and my chronic hatred of white straight women telling black women/black men/everybody how to behave of which there is a fuckton at the minute.
Thank you for your time.
