with peace and love and respect and compassion, some of you are getting dangerously close to "Jews control the media", please think about the implications of what you say. with peace and love and respect and compassion and kindness and sympathy, please dont repeat alex jones infowars conspiracy theorist type rhetoric. with peace and love and respect and compassion and kindness and sympathy and gentleness and harmlessness and niceness, please evaluate whether your activism comes from a place of love or hatred.

Your ex fiancée was white but you want to blog about black rights when that’s not really the case now is it .....

Well now …… I see that someone has really been digging through my old posts and my old deleted pics. I guess you get an “A” for effort. I guess.

So here’s the thing: my ex fiancée is white, but that has nothing to do with me blogging about Civil Rights, racism, anti-blackness and #BlackLivesMatter. See, I’M black. My mother is black. My father was black. My sisters, my brother and all my half-siblings are black. My grandparents? Black. My cousins and nieces and nephews? Yup - all black.

So …… I fail to see the connection between who I was engaged to and my blogging about the struggle?

Look, I’m not a woman, but I blog about sexism, misogyny and rape culture. I’m not gay, but I also blog about LGBTQ issues, homophobia, and transphobia. I’m not disabled, but I also blog about ablism. I’m not Jewish, and I’m not Muslim, and I’m not an immigrant, but guess what? Yeah, I blog a lot about antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia and the struggles those people face too.

Now I admit: I am never ever ever going to be able to go as hard or as deep on the oppressions that people from those groups face. I will never be able to fully relate to certain struggles as a person who belongs to those groups, because at the end of the day, I am not a member of said groups. So there will ALWAYS be realities about each group that I can only empathize with. My understanding will always be lacking and incomplete. And I will ALWAYS have more to learn …… but that doesn’t mean that I can’t support those different (and overlapping/intersectional) groups.

So again, I kinda took the long way around to say this: But I have no idea why you seem to think that the race of my ex has ANY bearing on how hard I go for my own mf people? How hard I go for myself??

I love myself, and I love my people.

How is this even a serious question??

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you’re trying to imply that I’m a sellout like Coonye West, or Ben Carson, or Clarence Thomas, or Diamond & Silk, or Lynne Patton, or any of those other slags, I think it is very obvious where I stand. And I’m also not some pitiful, colorstruck swirl blogger who “prefers” white women and thinks the sun rises and sets on white people. Fuck that noise.

I just happened to meet a girl, and only God knows why, but she loves me, and I fell crazy mad in love with her.

And I fucking refuse to be ashamed of that. I won’t ever be ashamed of that. Ever.

Literally the only reason why I’ve rarely mentioned her race was because, generally speaking, it wasn’t important. And not sorry, but I didn’t feel the need to “show her off” as though she was some great white trophy to boost my ego. I’m already cocky enough as it is. (She absolutely IS a great woman, but her greatness has zero to do with her race).

If my ex’s race is THAT important to anyone else, then we are just going to agree to disagree, and you can feel free to unfollow me or block me.

A lot of people have sent in anon asks asking me about my breakup, and I most definitely am not going to be answering any of those questions. Don’t ride too much on this ask either. Anon pissed me off, so yeah, I got baited into replying. Please don’t make me have to turn the anon feature back off.

#jfc #first the warriors give me palpatations #and now this #anon #ask #answered #pls dont try me #this right here #is why i dont blog very much #about my personal life #odin rants
