just because there aren't as many posts of blm circulating and just because we're slowly posting regular "aesthetic" content again it does not mean you have the right to stop educating yourself on issues that affect black people. continue to educate yourself and others, call out racism when you see it and continue to donate and sign petitions. activism that only occurs when somebody dies or something devastating happens is not proper activism, it is performative. so, just because you aren't posting as much about blm or other issues anymore, it does NOT mean you can go back to being ignorant. continue to stay aware. keep that energy and use it and your privilege to help black people and amplify their voices. us non-black people need to recognise that choosing when to speak up or speaking up when it is big is a privilege and is ignorant and we need to fix this.

Like I hate to be this person, but why aren’t we taught that slavery was genocide? why aren’t we taught that colonialization was genocide. There are whole tribes and cultures that do not exist anymore because of slavery and colonization. 24 MILLION INDIGENOUS PEOPLE DIED DURING THE SPANISH CONQUEST! 60 MILLION BLACK PEOPLE DIED DURING THE SLAVE TRADE (that isn’t even counting the black people of African diaspora during slavery and even after). Millions of black/brown people died and no one even understands it. That shit IS genocide, and the fact that we’re not taught that it is, the fact that things like colonization ARE praised in classes just appalls me. Slavery and colonization done to black/brown people IS genocide. And the fact that no one is telling us that what happened to our ancestors is genocide and expecting us to forget it, speaks volumes abt how white societies view the complete eradication of brown/black people. Our genocides don’t matter to them.

May her memory be a blessing Z"L

[honeybuddhahoe]

it gets worse tho! the original person who reported this on twitter said she did NOT die of asthma related syptoms. Thats what they WANTED us to think!!

she died bcause they sprayed so much tear gas in her face that she inhaled too much and DIED. HER DEATH WAS NOT CAUSED BY ASTHMA RELATED SYMPTOMS. Only tear gas. Solely tear gas.

They murdered her.

[femmeharlequin-deactivated20240]

And remember not to say Rest In Peace for her. She was jewish. Say “may her memory be a blessing” like it says above.

i’m sick of people romanticizing the idea of “fixing” someone who comes from a broken home or past trauma.

TRAUMA ISN’T GLAMOROUS

I AM NOT YOUR CHARITY CASE

IT IS NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO “FIX” ME

YOU CANNOT “FIX” ME

DO NOT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I AM “BROKEN” OR LIKE I NEED “FIXING” THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU

if you care about someone who has suffered a trauma look into how to help them without making it about you.

be there for them if/when they want to talk about it

respect if/when they don’t

understand that everyone’s experiences are different and that it is best to empathize with them not sympathize. nobody wants to be made to feel like a sob story.

understand that even if you have gone through something SIMILAR your experiences are not the SAME.

be there as a pillar for healing, show you care, show your love for your people. you can help them through this process but YOU CANNOT DO IT FOR THEM.

now this may not be true for everyone who has a shity home life but for me, the 3rd child of an emotionally abusive single mother and a lying deadbeat father, i can say that i don’t want you to fix me, i don’t need you to fix me, and romanticizing the idea of thinking/trying to “fix” me or a person in a similar position to mine, quite frankly nauseates me 🥰🤩🤪😌

so fucking stop.
