why do people always do shit like this?
whether it's some white LGBTQ rainbow gorls reaching back to the civil rights/slavery era to compare their issues to ours...on some "yall should know how this feels! 😩 remember when ya'll were...." or mess like this.
Yemen has a clear history of horrible anti-Black racism but a Yemeni leader is asking America to focus on racism against Black Americans
stop using the plight of Black Americans as some sort of weapon against others, or a tool to manipulate us into rallying with you for some shit that aint got nothing to do with us.
. that in itself is super offensive. and racist.
unless YOUR sand munching ass is out there fighting for the cause you're pushing. which i highly doubt you are - considering how that statement wasn't followed by what you're doing for Black Americans OR Black people over there in Yemen.
leave us tf out of your mess.

They live in segregated "mahawi" (slums) where they have no access to the most basic services."
