Deal with it your fucking self. Black people are busy. https://twitter.com/aicha__x/status/1286815363724910592
Y’all are fucking stupid. What do you want niggas to do? Fly to Belgium during the pandemic and protest until the killers are arrested? We’re still protesting in the states. We are BUSY. If you want his name trending like George Floyd YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN. What’s not clicking?
Every time someone in a non-Black community dies from state-sanctioned violence y’all invoke the names of fallen Black people to try and guilt trip Black folks into doing the protesting for you. It’s not our job to fight your battles, and it’s racist af to ask us to.
Every community can/should start their own movement if they want justice. Black people are not some lifeline you can call to do the heavy lifting when shit hits the fan. You’re not entitled to us just because you put #BLM in your header. I repeat:
You’re NOT entitled to us.
You’re NOT entitled to us.
Imagine the progress your community could make if you directed all this energy into organizing. Being racist, homophobic and sending me death threats isn’t going to bring justice to that man’s family, and it certainly won’t convince Black Americans to support you.
If it’s *still* not clicking, I recommend reading this thread. Black People, Americans specifically, are not your mules for activism. Unpack why you’re so mad at me for telling you to organize within your own community.
