(34,648 posts)Because people keep on lecturing us black folks on who marched with Dr King and shit like we give a fuck. We don't. It's paternalistic and fucking rude, like Miss Millie from the color purple. We have enough to deal with without rude and unnecessary admonishments from white people that we should support who they like just because that person marched with Dr. King or voted for Obama or whatever it is. It's annoying, rude, infantilizing, patronizing and paternalistic. It has gotten to the point today that I decided to unsupport Bernie and just not give a fuck about the Primaries.
This is how I feel in times like this. Like Sofia.

Now, the crybabies are the one running around here with their hair on fire screaming invectives at the very idea that BLM would heckle Bernie after ALL HE'S DONE FOR THOSE PEOPLE. It seriously has made me sick to me stomach. Reading GD as a black person is literally hell right now. Hell. Not a shread of empathy for us in here.
We do not give a care about fifty years aho when we are dying and in orison right niw. Best way to handle it would be to acknowkedge the pain of the orotestor and to engage with them and ask what one can do to help, to invite them in, make friends out of them. I feel totally hurt by the way the BLM protestors have been excoriated by white liberals today. I have taken it personally and am done.
