Indeed, this push for us to comfort unequivocally racist tears is appalling, particularly given that we will be on the receiving end of the backlash that emerges from this historic moment all while we will be abandoned at the same time. https://twitter.com/breenewsome/status/1325162403126972418
Bear in mind that there will be backlash from those in positions of power attempting to put us in our place.

I wish that weren't the case, but it's always been.

And the backlash will befall many but predominately those who are most vulnerable in society—i.e., Black women.
As you give thanks to Black women, wear T-shirts, post BLM and so on, please remember that actions are better than words.

Intervene, use your voice, call out your family members and friends who come at us in the coming days.

SHOW US your thanks rather than tell us.
