One of our people's worst faults is how open and welcoming we are to other races even when they lock us out of their own spaces.

Gatekeeping Blackness is important.

We need Black safe spaces..

I don't trust abelungu who come into Black spaces.

Your very presence is offensive. If you care that much, tell YOUR people to stop being racist.

Don't try to prove how down you are. They come into these spaces, observe like we're wildlife on National Geographic, or try to center their own YTness..

YT people who come into exclusively Black spaces under the guise of allyship bother me.

You're so much of an ally, so willing to learn, but will completely ignore that by even asking to join these spaces, you're being invasive, which is the primary issue with white supremacy?

And when we tell them we want to be by ourselves, they cry reverse racism. Which is a myth.

This encourages white fragility and colourblind rhetoric. Because even when it's not about YT people, it is.

And because non-inclusion is a YT nightmare, the true motivation for wanting to join is a deep-seated aversion to Black people setting the criteria for inclusion. Read that again.

Wanting to be in Black spaces is a YT temper tantrum.

Stop welcoming ppl who don't care about you!
