a woman whose anger needs to be paid attention to

[kerry-is-my-prez]

157. I've seen worse things on the internet.

I don’t blame black women for being angry but some are going over the top with hatred towards anyone white - even people who voted for Harris.

Here’s something off the internet. I really worry that these statements do nothing but harm to unity:

“Women of whiteness wonder why Black women don’t trust or feel safe with them as a collective. But when we tell y’all why, y’all don’t listen.

And when it’s time for y’all to show up in substantive ways, y’all can’t seem to get it together.

And when it’s time to root down and do work in your own communities, y’all would rather individualize and differentiate yourselves and then call yourselves “doing the work.”

And when Black women say we don’t want any part of your performative nonsense, y’all fold your arms and say you’re gonna keep on keeping on.

And when the feces hit the fan and Black women are the only ones who consistently show up with any level of moral clarity once again, y’all will start the cycle of “I’m sorry” and “this white woman” and empty gestures all over again.

The answer is right in front of you.

We don’t trust y’all because y’all ain’t trustworthy. We don’t have solidarity because y’all ain’t solid.

We can’t even get past this recycled conversation from eight years ago because y’all didn’t learn and won’t listen.

How are y’all different than the 52% when you act just like them? Voting for a democrat don’t make your racism any less violent. That’s a hard truth but I’m trading in hard truths today.”
