not to be THAT person on the this blue hellsite, but some of yall’s preformative wokeness is really telling this. the amount of posts that i see that claim that so and so shouldn’t be the only people taking about certain things, and then retroactively not take up for their black followers or mutuals when they are attacked or bullied for trying to set the same boundaries that nonblack rpers set is really telling. like it makes me uncomfortable, it makes my teeth hurt ; i wish that yall loved us like yall pretended that yall did. it’s so performative. like someone got called a nigger, hard er, and i BET on my life at least 2 of yall know who sent it in. niggas have been outted for less. but as soon as the topic comes to any rpers blackness, we are literally sidelined. this has happened on tumblr, and in the mainstream. people appropriating our movements and our body count and justifying police militarization ? not a peep out of yall. someone appropriating and disrespecting our culture and language constantly ? not a peep out yall. its disheartening, and quite frankly shaking as a mentally ill black person to think that im so transparently on my own when i see so many others surrounded by friends. i wish yall would say yall hate me and move on so i can move on.
hol up, lemme add onto this, because im a bit more heated than i was earlier. do yall remember when a white person on this hell site straight up said that they were gonna shoot a black person, they first amendment rights or something, none of yall said something. remember when someone was harassed for calling out two non-blacks anti-blackness and racism, but none of yall did nothing and some of yall laughed at them behind closed doors ( i seen it ). but as soon as someone dare put reylo or kylo on your dash yall was up in arms. i’m not saying that ya’ll’s issues aren’t important or i don’t support you ( because i have, all of blacks have; we were vocal with you as well as we could without trying to speak over yall ). but as soon as we say something, you unfollow or we lose clout.
but ya’ll been using aave for weeks, ya’ll been ignoring us being harassed for weeks, for years , forever. ya’ll won’t admit ya’ll’s communities and actions are anti-black, and i get it – self reflection is hard. but like i just wish ya’ll would care, ya’ll would take the time to understand that this is a reflection of values. i just want ya’lls support, and im sure others do to.
