TK

im a knicks fan first, so if this upsets you, u should not follow me. i do like the nuggets and mavericks. i also blog baseball (DA YANKEES!)

jalen brunson is my blorbo and aaron gordon is a very sexy man who looks too much like the other aaron baseball player. luka and jokic are my white boys of the year (those are just my top 4 I like other players I promise)

sometimes i ramble (#tk ramble) and its mostly #basketball talk and #mean spirited warning in advance

you know I agree with the sentiment but keep in mind these are public accounts and they reposted veen's video

WNBA team gone

Our minor league hockey team sucks (last time I checked they 2nd or 3rd worst in the conference) and so does their major league affiliate

the other hockey team is going to canada

Our minor league baseball team sucks, relatively speaking and so does their major league affiliate - all prospects go to die there especially pitchers

I also dont hate white people. I hate the racism some of you choose to be complicit in and perpetuate by way of tropes and what not

hi in really sorry for responding to this like 3 days late but im going through my blog and made a new tag for this (#tk rpf thinkpieces) basically here's the tldr (I'll probably write all this down)

1. the refusal to acknowledge the people and ships that came before [WHITE BOY SHIP HERE]

2. racism, unintentional or not

3. disregarding of RPF fandom etiquette

like you're trying to tap dance for a culture you dont belong to and have no knowledge of

...this is an insane leap of logic and there's so much wrong w/ this

what it sounds like is that you're mad I called out the tendencies of white people on this app to use their other identities (whether that is queer or a woman) to excuse their proximity to whiteness. instead of reflecting on that you decided to strawman an argument about how if "black people" can't be oppressors, than no one can

before I even go there- "tap dance??" theres proof on this tumblr page of my hand- im black. you one step away from calling me an epithet- racism is right in your face.

while yes, in concept, black people can be racist as an act of prejudice against another person who's different it can never be to the same systemic scale it is in America. the same rhetoric that was the basis of Jim Crow has taken root in many other places in the world, including Germany in the 1930s. what the fuck has to be wrong with you to make the leap in logic
