Black Women Aren’t Here to Save You

There’s an unspoken belief that they’re repsonsible for leading “the revolution.”

“Twitter: Black Women will save us.

Black Women, Fed up ‘cause y’all didn’t listen the first time” Eve Wing.

Modern fanaticism thrives in proportion to the quantity of contradictions and nonsense it pours down the throats of the gaping multitude, and the jargon and mysticism it offers to their wonder and credulity.

Okay. Here we go again.

I'm voting for Bernie Sanders in the California primary.

Then I'll vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination.

In the meantime, a heads up to Teh Bern Unit: you can stop trying to "educate" me or "inform" me. There is no further need for you to "express concerns" about my lack of absolute and unwavering faith in our mutual career politician of choice, or to continue to harangue me when I refuse to denounce Clinton as a pantsuit-clad demonic entity from some eldritch hell dimension. No, I will not ever agree with you that she is "just as bad as the Republicans". Because I'm not a FUCKING CHILD with a WALNUT for a BRAIN. Yes, I'm going to continue to call out misogyny and hypocrisy wherever and whenever I see it (provided I have the energy to spare). I absolutely do see it all around me, lately. It's creeping me out, y'all.

I would especially prefer to stop wasting my precious time on this planet chiding liberal white male peers who feel entitled to pursue one-on-one political conversations with me via DMs even though they've clearly been paying zero attention to anything I've been consistently saying for the past several months! Guys, trust that I will ask for your political counsel if I need it, and accept that there's a very good chance that I *don't*. I definitely didn't need to know that you'll "probably" still vote for Clinton if she wins the nomination.

Probably? Oh, you'll "probably" vote for the soulless, evil, meritless, vagina-having, most-readily-comparable-to-Obama candidate if you absolutely have to? Gosh. How generous of you, comfy white man. How noble.

I promise, I'm probably not throwing up in my mouth a little bit right now.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to hang out with a very sick friend who would very certainly not still be here with us, laughing and smiling, were it not for the Affordable Health Care Act, and other services that I *know* Clinton will continue to fight tooth and nail for against the Cruzes and Trumps and Paul Ryans of government, regardless of the outcome of American Shitshow 2016.

Y'all act like George W. Bush (who went to yale, harvard), Bill O'Reilly (who went to harvard), Glenn Beck (who went to yale), and Mitt Romney (who went to harvard), etc. are anomalies among prestigious universities. These people are not unintelligent; these people are not uneducated. Acquisition of higher education isn't the same as not being willfully ignorant. You can be highly educated and say ignorant shit, it's actually pretty common: hence this blog. Stop putting your faith in our education system to rid our society of systematic oppression. Higher education actively encourages oppression.
