Hey.
I see this happening a lot in the current discourse so I think we need a reminder.
*we do not compare race and racism to disability and ableism*
They are not the same thing.
Many people experience both. And those people *often* ask the rest of us to stop doing this.

Who can compare anti Black racism to ableism?
- people who experience both
Who should not do that?
- disabled people who aren& #39;t Black
- people who experience both
Who should not do that?
- disabled people who aren& #39;t Black
(Well, anyone who isn& #39;t Black obvs. It& #39;s just always disabled ppl doing it because tbh abled ppl are rarely talking about ableism in the first place)
Y& #39;all think it& #39;ll make people take ableism seriously, but it just minimizes the experiences of Black ppl (esp Black disabled ppl)

I know that was a slightly random tweet to link since it was a direct response to a now deleted tweet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ
" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und AngstschweiĂ" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und AngstschweiĂ">
but it had the keywords I was Twitter searching for from people I followhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

Also also if you are a disabled BIPOC who has written a tweet, thread, or blog post on this topic & want me to link it in this thread to boost & educate more people, please send it my way! I& #39;d love to add more resources to this thread!
