its like people need you to be their momma im tired man. "ah ah ice these people are being antiblack in other people's comments sections!" if you don't get the fuck off your ass and call it out when you see it i swear to gods above.
Tbh, I think it was meant to cause drama. I think I was expected to go "who is it??? Where???" And it's like. I'm not about to go digging in people's blogs to start fights that other people wanna see. It's one thing when the fight gets brought to me, or it's something I'm passionate about anyway. But otherwise, I'm not an attack dog 😅 This isn't a colosseum where Ice has to fight EVERY battle for everyone else. If people are being antiblack ofc I don't like that, but I also teach people that THEY can do something about that too!
Also... If I'm not in the space, why would I go to it when I was just told people being antiblack?
"How do you feel about this thing in this space you're not in?"
Like I'm in the right space for not being over there!
I had a friend who would do this about right when I left them out of things. (Well, she would ask me what she should say). And she's Korean, Black and Hawaiian with a Black and Korean son and a white husband.
And one of these times where I was guiding her through how I would respond to a thing, she mentioned that she leaned on people like me for guidance because I'm "really good at this."
And I told her that I'm not "good" at it, I just have to do it more than a lot of people who never have to think about it. And in the course of the conversation, I said that I was tired of it and really was ready not to say nothing at all and just disengage with certain people.
And this woman's ugly white husband had the audacity to tell ME, the fully Black person in the conversation, "Well, I don't have the option of not saying anything because I have a Black wife and child."
SIR. You actually DO have an option and I'm glad you will continue to speak, but who the fuck are you talking to? Your wife is asking ME how to handle this bitch in y'all's life. I don't even know that fucking person she tagged me in to address. Why she ain't cone to you, Mr. No Choice?"
Anyways. I'll watch somebody fight for they life and blacklist a tag before I come rushing in to come see bout anybody that didn't organically cross my path. Fuck them people. Lol. Give a shit what they doing in a room I wasn't tryna enter.
To clarify, I wasn't the only fully Black person she knew, but at the time, I was probably the only one in her life who was vocal about certain things. And I no longer have nonblack friends outside of online spaces and they're pretty limited there. I very much usually am dealing with this from other Black people, specifically ones who I do think look up to me and get a little confused about my role in their lives because of that.
