Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers

Performative activism is killing my people. I’m actually messing lol, these are not my people. These people don’t like talking about Black lives. These people don’t like being uncomfortable. These people are performative activists. These people are far more concerned with comfortability and performity. Forreal though, ain’t nobody woke. Aren’t mf’s tired of pretending? Twitter fingers is really what’s killing my people.

White people wanna be oppressed so bad. So so so bad. Everyday why can’t I say the n-word? Everyday why can Black people do that and we can’t? Everyday just because I’m not Black I can’t do that? It’s crazy because two plus two isn’t always four. You’re not Black. You might want to be, but you’re not. The lack of progression is exhausting. Ignorance must be exhausting. Everyone is mad that Black people want to treated as equals. Deep it. Cauc-dacity is enabling people to think Black people are reaching, to think what’s BEEN happening for four hundred years is not really the reality of what our people have gone through and will continue to go through. It’s mind blowing to me that people don’t think they’re racist but have been EDL march attendees, but the ground for that conversation is yet to be covered. The sudden ‘concern’ for us as people is really laughable to me because nobody was checking on us when people were calling us niggers, nobody was checking on us when we were being told we’re too black for this, that or the other, nobody was checking on us, periodt. Please leave the pity party at the door before you enter the chat. We've been doing just fine before you decided to post a black square on ig.

The silence from said persons is really deafening. Those with Black friends, those who listen to Black music, and those who appropriate Black culture. To be honest, it’s not overly shocking and not even that disappointing. The description is very fitting. You’ve never stood up for your bredrin, you’ve never asked them they’re alright, you’ve never tried to understand what it is they go through everyday, but it’s white privilege that you think doesn’t exist. When I said that conversations with white people can be redundant, I really did mean that. No accountability but always the reminder that white people have to be oppressed too. KMT.

I truly don’t have anything else to say about this other than I said what I said. Additionally, reparations are taken today via the stream of the City Girls new album, Megan Thee Stallion’s new joint and of course Black Parade by Beyoncé. Any aforementioned reparations are still valid.

Lockdown 2.0

Happy first day of lockdown 2.0. This is just a reminder to not let red back pack twitter convince you that you need to have saved 5k by the time this lockdown is over; or have anyone tell you a full face and not going anywhere isn't allowed; or that you need to be doing the most. Shit is about to get so tight for some of us if it isn’t already and I just wanna let you know that you set your own pace and you don’t owe strangers on the internet a thing in the world. I also want to express my forever escalating concern for mental health and the ways in which this second lockdown might contribute to deterioration. You are never alone in the way that you feel, and you are also entitled to feel the way that you do. I know sometimes issues and feelings seem so insignificant because “other people have it worse” but it’s not a competition. A problem is still a problem and your feelings are still your feelings, nobody can ever take that away from you. If you are struggling please co...

You're doing amazing sweetie !

2020 has really come out to be the year we least expected in somewhat all aspects of our lives. We have lost, we have mourned, we have struggled, and some of us think the worst is yet to come because the year isn’t over yet. We think we can do better; the light at the end of the tunnel is a lot further away than we might have initially perceived. The increased levels of uncertainty which have been escorted by this year have only added to already existing feelings of anxiety, depression, and added amounts of pressure to pattern everything. The reality of it is, there is still four months left of this year. Which means there is still four months left to pattern what you want to, secure the bag, slide into someone’s dm’s, and bettering yourself in ways you didn’t think you could. I know a lot of people have said that covid has been a blessing in disguise and the TL has told everyone that you should have done something worthy during lockdown, but we don’t all have the same reality. The...

BLM GON' NEED MORE PRESS

When Cardi B said, ‘bitches be pressed’, she wasn’t mf lying. Bitches be PRESSED, but bitches be pressed about the wrong things. Since the BLM has caught serious media attention, and the racists have been exposing themselves, I’ve noticed that people really don’t like it when they aren't met with silence. Everyday why is it race relations but did you check yourself before you wrecked yourself? Black lives really rattle people, inject iiiittttttttt !!!! People don’t like it when you don't comply with ignorance. People don’t like talking about racism because man "dont see colour". People don’t like it when Black and Brown people are talking about the never-ending oppression that we’ve had to endure through no choice of our own because “we’re not our ancestors”. All this ignorance and complacency brings me to re-introduce the town I live in and the obtuseness it’s almost always escorted by. This town has a very prominent community page on Facebook which is mostly us...
