Dear lillypadd: YOU. ARE. A. RACIST.
It doesn’t matter if your racism is borne of aggressively willful ignorance, or if it’s more aversive in nature. The fact that you are comfortable enough in your learned, self-serving ignorance that you can stroll over to my inbox to deposit your “polite” micro-aggressions and uninformed racism does not excuse or diminish your racism - at all
And I’m Black, so no, you won’t get an “ignoracist” hall pass from me, and I do not believe in “too young to know better” hall passes either, and finally, being a WhiteLiberal™ who voted for Obama & has a “Black friend” or dated someone Black, etc, doesn’t automatically make you or anyone else any less racist
Sorry, but my B-Log is not a soft landing spot for White fragility
The fact is, despite being only 13 percent of America’s population, Black people are 21 times more likely to be shot by the police…even if we are completely unarmed
So dear White people who are overcome with the irresistible urge to regurgitate #AllLivesMatter whenever you see #BlackLivesMatter……………………..please go away and be an aversive racist somewhere else - until you take the red pill and wake tf up from your cozy little pod in the #AllLivesMatter Matrix, this ain’t the blog for you
#NOCHILLATALL
Yeah, normally I really do try to answer asks like this one privately, but nah, not today. The #AllLivesMatter people are srsly getting on my last one and they need to wake tf up. Unfortunately for them, I’m feeling like an alarm clock
Today’s motto: “People often say ‘stop being angry and educate us’, not understanding that the anger is part of the education.”
