Black Goth Appreciation Day

Today’s post is an appreciation day inspired by @victoriankisses17‘s recent video. Watch and read here for a compilation of photos and inspiring quotes from black goth bloggers.

VERY IMPORTANT!

when i was in middle school, i got bullied for being a black fall out boy fan.

literally almost every day of my life these idiots would trash my interests and my personality because of my race.

all because “emo music is white culture”.

if you’re a person of color who’s bullied for their “white” interests, i raise my glass to you and wish you have an amazing day. it will get better, you rule.
