stop fucking telling black people we cannot say “fuck white people” because while you’re saying we’re being ‘reverse racist’ our race is being fucking murdered. this is a mass genocide, don’t be a goddamn fool.

Mass genocide? Are you retarded? 10 fucking deaths a week, even 100 deaths per week at the hands of cops wouldn’t be a mass genocide. You are a terrible person for equating the systemic annihilation of a people with this. You know what is actually a mass genocide? The holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and many other actual occurrences that you can look up. 

And how the fuck is saying fuck white people helping your cause. Oh congratulations not only have you turned people away from your cause but now you are turning people against your cause lol good luck with that one. 

First of all, ease up off the ableist slur.

Secondly, it may not “equate” to the mass genocides that make it into the history books, but this is still systemic annihilation, in a less obvious way to those who don’t recognize or understand the nuances and think racism ended with slavery.

When people say “fuck white people” they more or less mean “fuck the system that tells us we’re inferior and kills us every day.” You have to understand that it’s not about you. You have to understand where it’s coming from. It’s centuries of anger and seeing that some things haven’t really changed for the better, that the system has evolved. Yeah, it sucks when you hear “fuck white people” because you might be one of the “good ones” that “isn’t racist,” but the moment you open your mouth and try to talk about how you’re not racist and make it all about yourself and your qualifications, you prove the opposite. “Fuck white people” is nothing but sigh-worthy and does not compare to the disadvantages and aggression people of color face every day. Now please, shut your mouth and stay off her post.

Whites Dehumanize Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Into A Trope To Silence Black People

MLK is regularly evoked by Whites in a dehumanizing fashion in order to police Black vernacular (subversion/reclamation), police Black people’s response to continued State violence and anti-Blackness, and to control Black culture and life via the myth that the politics of respectability can “earn” us humanity; humanity denied us as the very foundation and current reality of this country, in fact. 

It is triggering, erasure, abusive, ahistorical and violent to remind Black people practically on the hour of the coordinated State violence (abuse, arrests, physical violence, FBI intimidation, surveillance/COINTELPRO, psychological warfare and eventually assassination) on MLK and other Black activists/ordinary Black citizens, and then suggest that us behaving like a White-washed version of MLK (one erasing his work and humanly flaws and replacing it with appeasing Whiteness and empty deification) now will “protect” us from the same State violence that Black people have always faced. (MLK’s “non-violent” actions were still classified as “extremist.”) Whites, who benefit from racism, think it is acceptable to tell Black people to “behave” like MLK, when he was murdered for the same reasons that we have to fight today. 

Darren Wilson has half a million dollars via donations from racists, had paid leave, a new wife, is viewed as a White hero and was not indicted (such a decision is apparently statistically rare); will not even face a trial for murdering Michael Brown, despite dehumanizing and killing him. (Not suggesting that his theoretical singular indictment or trial would be “justice” in this anti-Black country; the system itself is violence on us.) He called Michael’s expression of pain after being shot looking like a “demon” and his own strength like that of a child versus Michael as “Hulk Hogan” despite being close to the same size as Michael and had a gun while Michael did not. He claimed that he thought Michael’s punch could “kill” him though his hospital photographs are bruise-less. Clearly he is illogical because of anti-Blackness; the entire testimony is negligence, willful distortion and a racist farce. Whites benefit from violence on Black bodies yet have the audacity and cruelty to suggest how Black people should feel and respond to that violence, in which Whites use other Black people like MLK as dehumanized vessels to funnel those suggestions through.

It is basically White people so utterly willfully ahistorical and intellectually dishonest that they engage in cognitive dissonance with why MLK had to exist as he did in the first place and why we fight now. They use his body as a vessel for their own racism, since their own bodies and lies are never enough. Always the use and consumption of a Black body. Even celebration of the lack of indictment isn’t enough for them; so many of them are trolling Black people online right now because even the State’s affirmation of our dehumanization cannot satiate their appetite for harming Black people. They always want us to accept their version of reality, at the price of our humanity.

hey just so you know the FBI are conducting an investigation of the grand jury that didnt indict wilson. that means there’s a huge chance there’ll be a retrial. they’re also investigating the general racism of the police force. have hope. don’t stop fighting.
