A black girl, 17 years old, Brayala Stone, whom many people uplifting Black girls right now haven& #39;t mentioned, or visibilized because she is trans, was murdered by a young black 18 year old boy.. A young black boys and girls entire future is erased b/c of what someone taught him.
I& #39;m not okay with this. And I don& #39;t know how to process. I am duly afraid, frustrated and more enraged with pain and anger every single day. I am confused hurt and sad about the recurring violence black girls are experiencing.
Violence happening to and in our community is making black people disappear in every way and every day. Erasing futures.. Left and right. And none of us actually know how to deal with this without disappearing black people who hurt and/or disappear other black people.
You can& #39;t force people to unlearn and learn, but trans people keep dying at the hands of people who learned not to believe there is anything to learn to begin with.
This is all so painful.
This is all so painful.
He& #39;s going to prison for probably the majority of or for the rest of his life. Him being 18 years old and going to prison without possibly ever even having an opportunity to unlearn or rehabilitate bothers me in one part of my heart bc I know it will only worsen his circumstances
In this life But on the other side I feel like I& #39;m betraying myself for caring, still about his life. Do Yall know what this fucking feel like?
