Im beyond desperate and scared of what will be of us in these ellections. Im on the edge and its absolutely disheartening feeling this powerless about this fucked up blow, it feels like there’s really nothing else to be done here anymore.
- the objetification of the black female body by yt women who wont go through any of the implications of being black is killing me. Specially when it means, historically and personally, being oversexualized since a very young age and how I just wished and still wish I could leave my body. How their goals is being this caricatural. They focus on ally and they always end up on racist
- fucking a black men dont make you any less racist. And definitely dont make you absorb any blackness either. It was traumatizing for my father the oversexualizing he was put through and you carry a black men to piss society off and pretend to be so - oh not racist
- a racialized view of the world wasnt a question to many ppl until last week. That says a lot. I wish I was this lucky to be connected and disconnected from whats hype and these discussions and life experiences being guided by a racial context only as far as it is interesting - cause it actually doesnt affect me. When they all get tired they can move to the next thing. Yt ppl passing as mixed so bad, in silence, navigating between worlds while I need to show receipts very often. I feel tired of this world. I’m through

we all know that this exists and it’s downright disgusting. just let children be children!!
This is one why I won’t be having children anytime soon here because most of y’all are phedophiles and I don’t feel like going to jail.

You can’t absorb Blackness from spending time around Black people. You can’t become Black by osmosis. Or by studying. You can’t become Black, period.
You can be your non-Black self and respect Black people, respect what Black people do and create—try it, it works.

After a discussion this weekend, I just reaffirm white liberals w their one token black friend or not being racist for dating black ppl are the worst kind. Pretending to care or be ‘one of us’, who think they understand something about anything. And there are some things not meant to be understood by those who dont live it, they will never get it. I dont wanna explain it or deal w it these days, tired of this type of violence.
I am who I am, blood speaks volumes, it’s all over me, carrying this body around with everything it means, the harshness, with how I dont seem to belong, trying to love myself even when seems so impossible. Trying trying trying to fit, screaming to create the Space which doesnt exist, was taken.
"The négritude movement at first tried to oppose the absorption the grandsons of the Gauls wanted to inflict on us. They claimed we had the same grandfathers. The textbooks, one must remember, were destined solely for use by the metropolitans. I can distinctly remember that in my class in French Guyana we were more familiar with the names of plants growing in France than those growing at home"
