rp @moemotivate: If fighting for Black liberation is divisive then I don’t want y’all unity.
What is unity to y’all...
Your unity is for Black folks to be murdered, oppressed & disenfranchised and for us to just quietly take the violence & suffer in silence bc you believe it’s our fault anyway.
Your unity is our silence bc our suffering is interrupting your day.
Y’all want to oppress & abuse us & you want for us to take it as though it’s punishment owed for being born Black into a society that hates our Blackness.
Your unity is us smiling while you abuse us.
Your unity is looking the other way while you exploit us.
Your unity is for us to comply with your dehumanizing treatment of us.
Your unity is to make Black folks suffer in silence & out of sight.
Y’all idea of unity is warped, abusive, and dehumanizing but somehow you get to lash out at us when we are speaking out against the pain that you’ll never feel, yet you seem to be an expert on how we’re supposed to deal with it.
“Be patient”, you say, “be peaceful”, “be loving”, “be graceful”, “be forgiving”, “be compassionate”—all things you never give to us. But we’re some how supposed to extend all these things to you, while “kindly” asking you to stop killing us.
You consistently & unrelentingly abuse us, & you won’t stop bc we didn’t say it nicely enough. Ridiculous.
White supremacy is divisive.
Racism is divisive.
Gender stereotypes & gender roles are divisive.
Misogynoir is divisive.
Homophobia is divisive.
Fat phobia is divisive.
Oppression is divisive.
The only people that lash out the most & the loudest when folks speak out against oppression are the ones that believe they have the most to lose if we put an end to the oppression.
