Very telling how and a lot of these oh no Trump is going to be president again posts never mention black people. To be exact most of you mention every group but black people. And if we're being completely honest that's the reason why we lost the election. Y'all have never wanted to acknowledge how deeply racist this country is, including yourselves. Black people have been telling you for years every single time you tried to gaslight us with "you guys make everything about race!". Everything is about race idiot. We've been telling y'all that. But Y'all don't understand that because you don't actually care about us and our causes, our safety, just our labor in relation to how it benefits you. Y'all don't care about how negative of an effect Trump's presidency had on the black community. You don't care about how many more black people died because of violence he incited because you don't care about black people. The only reason a lot of y'all care now is because you realized you fucked your own communities over but before that the majority of you were totally fine with the idea that we were going to be one of his main targets, yet again.
And that is why we lost. We lost because there is a huge disconnect between black people and everyone else a part of the Democratic party. A lot of the rights that minority and marginalized groups in this country take for granted were fought for solely or very heavily by black people. A lot of y'all have never had to fight for rights alone in this country like we have. We have consistently been on our own. Yeah there may have been a couple of stragglers along the way willing to attempt to help us but we have always had to fight for stuff by ourselves. It's the reason why black people were the only ones to make the right decision because we have never forgotten how hard our ancestors had to fight for us to get here.
Every time I come on here I see Y'all talking about how the government has put a lot of effort into making it seem like a lot of the rights that were fought for by black people were fought for a long time ago. And to a degree you guys are right but secretly what I've always known is that a part of that issue is the fact that you guys have the privilege of not knowing how recent those events were. Black people we don't and never really have. From the moment we are born, an African American, our elders made sure that we knew so that we would never take for granted the rights that we have now. Like the right to vote. This election season Y'all acted like people asking you to utilize your right to vote was some form of oppression and not a privilege.
So many minority and marginalized groups throughout this election have taken for granted the rights that they have in this country because a lot of them didn't necessarily have to fight for them like we did. And even when y'all did have to fight for them, you didn't have the United States government throwing the full force of everything they have at you to attempt to destroy your efforts and community like we have. We cannot afford to be ignorant and privileged like y'all have been. We have never been afforded the privilege of forgetting how hard our ancestors fought for everything we have now, even if we wanted to, because we have always been aware of how easily those rights can be taken away again.
Many of you are going to have to start completely rethinking what activism and fighting for your rights in this country actually means because a lot of you don't really know what it is, you just enjoy the aesthetic of it. Hence the reason why so many of you are freaking out that black people are planning to opt out of fighting for y'all from now on. We are the backbone of all of your causes, we are usually y'all main supporters and oftentimes your only. Most of the activism y'all do is on social media and a vast majority of it is only dedicated towards people Who look, act and think like you. Your activism is incredibly racist, privileged and selfish. You only advocate for people who are like you but black people have never done that in this country. We have always believed in fighting for everybody but y'all have shown us through how y'all voted that we need to take a step back. We need to allow you to make your own mistakes. We need to allow you to experience true racism, in this country, alone without our help or advocacy. We are taking a step back because we cannot continue to try to save everybody else's community while ours is suffering from the decisions the ones we are attempting to save are making.
Now for me, personally, this doesn't mean that I'm suddenly going to stop supporting those suffering from genocides or posting about it but it does mean that I am taking a huge step back from any other causes. I think a lot of you need to learn what it's like to fight for your causes and your rights alone without the help of black people. I think y'all need to learn what it's like to watch your people continuously be targeted and murdered and have people make posts on TikTok saying "oh you guys are just upset because you're going to lose a couple of rights!". I think you'll need to learn what it's like to consistently be advocating for others, yet have no one advocate for you when you actually need it. It has been easy for you guys to scream POC solidarity but the way y'all voted shows us that don't actually identify with us at all. I don't care about us at all. Don't want us to care about you and your causes but you don't care what happens to us.
I am not excited for the horrors that you guys are going to face at the hands of the Trump administration. Horrors y'all voted for. As much as I would like to be gleefully excited about watching y'alls comeuppance I'm not. I think it's incredibly sad that so many of you were trying so hard to fuck over black and brown communities, that you ended up fucking yourselves.
