People often seem to forget antiblackness is a GLOBAL issue, and that no matter where you go, you will be treated as a lesser being, and the darker your skin is, the worse you're treated. It's not just a problem in the West (a la North America and Europe),

but also a problem in South America, parts of Africa, the middle East, and even the far east (such as Japan and even China). To be black is social death, and it should never be that way, and it is something you can change.

Yes, it shouldn't be up to just black folks to change this issue. Those who play into it aren't just YT either, but nonblack PoC also do so as well, whether nonblack indigenous, Latine, Middle Eastern, far Eastern, et cetera. The fact many nonblack PoC are willing to shake

hands with kkkolonizers when it comes to antiblackness is counterproductive to their own liberation against global YT supremacy and colonization.

Honestly, until black lives matter, nobody else's lives who are affected under colonization and YT supremacy will either.

Many of y'all do little to nothing to address antiblackness, not only in others, but even in yourselves. Sure, you go into protests, sure, you share articles online, maybe you read Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, but do you still let it go when your friends

appropriate AAVE? Do you get onto them for microaggressions? For hanging around and liking people who are fervently antiblack? Do you use your own intersections to shield yourself from being called out for antiblackness?

Maybe you act entitled to black folks thanking you or being grateful to you for your bottom-barrel activism, then act like we owe you forgiveness when you fuck up? Guess what? WE DON'T.

And for mixed people like myself, do you assimilate or still have ideas of antiblackness you have internalized, being either taught to you by your nonblack family members? What about your friends and colleagues? Nonblack or mixed trans people? Do you get uneasy when black men

walk by? YT women, do you salivate for black men all the while objectifying them and refusing to unlearn your own antiblackness, work towards black liberation without hesitation, and see him as a basic human being?

Twitter users, did you share or say anything during the George

Floyd protests, especially when you have a big platform? When have you donated to black led orgs?

Self-criticism: I may have been more vocal on FB, but have not been vocal enough here, and I could be donating a hella lot more than I do. I also need to be less afraid

of calling out my antiblack family members, even if it puts me in danger. A real comrade worries not about themselves, but the existence of others who are affected by YT supremacy.

In the past, I also feel like, as a mixed person, I took up a bit too much space as well, and

needed to step back a bit too, and understand that because of my lighter skin, I don't get it as hard as darker skinned black and mixed folks, even if I do experience antiblackness and xenophobia from YT people.

YT's and nonblack people and mixed people... Shape up, because Goddamn I am TIRED.
