  • I have seen how terrible these people are IRL, even. I have been physically assaulted by white queer people, including white queer women. This even happened to me at an earlier job I had, and I felt scared to tell anyone because I knew that no one would be on my side, especially since I was the only Black person there.

  • Buckras continuously prove to me that there is no true unity between white leftists and leftists of color. There is a reason why my politics put anti-imperialism, Black struggles, and the Global South first, but it wasn't always like this. I used to be much less educated and didn't realize how indispensable this framework was for my understanding of politics as well as my well-being. White people are always gonna be white first, and my experience has told me that I'm always gonna be Black first, but believe me when I say that, in the past, I tried to be something else. It never worked, and it never will.

  • The kind of people to say "It's just lyrics, so what's the big deal?" when singing along to a rap song with the n-word in it.

  • The shit that happened with LoveYourself still pisses me the fuck off every time I think about it.

  • I'm almost 100% sure that the same has been said about using disability as a shield for misogyny and queerphobia on here and those past comments were never moderated like that.

    This is why I stopped putting energy into caring about the cries of white women and white queer people. I know damn well that they would never give Black people the same energy. Obviously, I'm not saying any of their struggles on the basis of gender and/or sexuality are warranted, but it baffles me how selfish and unempathetic they can be. White women treat Black women like shit and white queer people treat Black queer people like shit, only to expect everyone to have a pity party over their particular struggles, and guess what? In so-called "leftist" spaces, they DO always get said pity parties. This could especially be said about white women because performative cishet male leftists love to pretend to give a fuck about feminism because they hope to gain something from it. I always remind myself that the same white women who (rightfully) get annoyed at deflections like "not all men" are just as willing to say "not all white women" when a Black woman calls out their bullshit, and that reminder makes it easy for me to focus on shit that actually pertains to my people and anti-imperialist struggles. I have limited energy, so that energy is gonna be Black energy.

    sandwiches is alright, but once I actually manage to get started with this CNA shit, something I'll try to do is get myself a treat for once.
