Under the trump administration, one thing has been VERY fucking clear to me.... black people have NO ALLIES
ALOT of y'all "ALLIES" are IMPOSTERS that want applause just for being a DECENT human being, for doing the bare fucking minimum. ALOT of y'all "ALLIES" can't SHUT THE FUCK UP & just listen when we're talking about things that you will NEVER experience, because centering yourself & your feelings is more important than seeing our oppression & pain.
ALOT of y'all use your black children as tokens & weapons when we address your COVERT RACISM & OPEN RACISM because you don't wanna be called out on it. STOP using your BLACK CHILDREN'S experience as a way to UNDERSTAND what black people go through, you will ALWAYS be on the outside looking in & your privilege will ALWAYS be your shield of protection. That goes for white appearing/lighter complexion POC too.
REAL allies UNDERSTAND that they'll lose their privilege & that shield of protection when they fight for the rights of EVERYONE. That means living in fear & understanding that there's a risk of death that hovers over you for doing the right thing under this current regime.
THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO LIVE AS A BLACK PERSON IN AMERICA!
