Sadly, this is exactly how white supremacy works against us. This is how they want minorities to think, that you're in it alone and no one will stand beside you. Divide and conquer, anti-blackness was used to do exactly that. Unfortunate our black asses are at the very bottom and we bear the grunt of this LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING WHERE. This isn't the right thinking to have bb, its hard as fuck to get rid of and I battle saying -fuck everyone who isnt black because we only got each other- everyday but if we do that, we all fucking lose. Black people have a strong and proud history of bringing ALL oppressed people together. We can't let the tactics of white supremacy take us away from that. Don't focus on those who don't want to learn. They are victims of white supremacy, they are either benefactors or want so badly to believe they are, theyre brainwashed and one day they will come to their senses. You do as much as you can to help break it down for them, don't waste your energy on fools. They don't even understand what you're talking about that's why its so easy for them to open their mouths and say that bullshit. I'm not gonna sit here and lie like I dont know exactly how you feel, because I do. I feel it all the fucking time, like no one will ride for us the way we ride for other people. Buts that alright, keep doing whats honest to you. White supremacy is so psychologically damaging and people DONT get how deep and real it is. But I know that not all other minorities or whites are like this, I know it and I have seen it thats the only thing that keeps me holding on. Thats why solidarity is so important, no one can do it alone. But you have me because I understand your pain. Did you come to the wake yesterday? lol there is a good strong black presence here that can provide support <3
