I want to be happy here.
But my Black friends keep getting banned for doing justice work.
Or just... Existing.
At a much quieter volume than I do.
If people didn’t know me or who I’m connected to, would I be gone by now too? 😔
How do you exist in a world where your cultural norm is frowned upon?
Why do I always have to compromise with the oppression dynamic
or get removed? 😭
It’s painful.
And there’s no reason to it.
And all the “solutions” include bowing to that same dynamic.

Leaving isn’t your defeat. It’s to the shame of the space that refuses to recognize they have blocked your equity. But it still building the road that leads back to the opening of fascism. That should worry people. Because again it’s not just the red hats and the cross burners. It’s liberal spaces that cannot bear critique & disguise the rejection as rule breaking, thus the fault of the justice worker.
