I’m sorry, I have been trying to avoid talking about the awful verdict that was announced today but truly, if I’m being honest with y’all, I have nothing to say. What will I say that haven’t been said before?? Should I cry when I’ve constantly been exposed to such brutalities?
I’m so desensitized to seeing videos and pictures of brutally murdered black People. It’s at this point where I believe that a huge possibility of me dying would be at the hands of police or a White person. Sorry if it makes you “uncomfortable” but that’s the reality for a lot of
Black People. I truly can’t envision my future anymore.... everything I’ve learnt has been false. Voting doesn’t do shit. It’s an empty hope, I truly believe that in order for me to be ..... safe? I have to leave America. I have to leave my family and friends but I don’t want to
Even if I do get the chance to leave, where will I go? Will I go to Nigeria is still suffering the crippling aftermath of British imperialism? I don’t want to live in the society... should I move to a communist/socialist country? Sounds nice but I’m black and racism is still a
Thing that is very much alive regardless. it’s a horrifying truth that as a black woman, there are very limited places that I can go in the world and I would truly feel happy and safe. So I’m sorry that I don’t necessarily talk about cases like this every time it comes up,
I don’t like reliving trauma because me getting depressed and angry and horrified has happened so many times that I’ve slowly getting numb and I constantly blame myself for not mourning the victims or not being about to mourn them. I’ll talk about other things but this thread
Is to let you guys know in case you’re curious. Sorry for clogging up your tl.
