Life is really hard when you wanna call people out and name names but you are viewed as a black femme and therefore automatically aggressive and vicious and *insert dehumanizing vocabulary here*.
Some folk on here: I stand with black people in their fight for racial justice.
Me, smoking my fake cigarette and sipping my tea with my hair still in a bonnet: Mmmm-hmmmm.
Yáll truly don't understand that yall can go off the cuff and act up and say whatever inane shit pops up in your brain and we black folks have to craft press releases and still get attacked and made fun of and painted like wild animals that need to be locked up and muzzled for it but it's veiled (thinly) so that's okay.
Honestly black users on mastodon are painted as magic mythical fairies in the stories of legends but don't actually exist OR heartless demon animals that will rip off your limbs and drink your blood and therefore we need to be caged and defanged or some shit and the metaphor isn't lost on me.
THIS! 👏🏾
I feel like applies even more to black Conservatives like me cuz people act like we don't exist
But it's funny on the fedi, every once in awhile, people sometimes actually ask me if I'm black 🤦🏾♂️
