Can I just say something, Im gonna preface this by acknowledging that Im disappointed and annoyed with Black folks right now. Also, this is response to all the shit ive been seeing online and here.
I used to think whataboutism was a white conservative thing but seeing so many bring up all this other shit that someone else did (especially if they're white) drives my initial point that I've been trying to make/discuss. Ppl really don't give a fuck about the victims of black queer hate unless they're a celeb or attractive.
I say this because the constant ways this conversation about holding this nigga accountable fuckin SHIFTS by the millisecond. . He didn't hurt anyone! White ppl lie all the time! Donald! . First, white ppl are a piece of shit, got it. This nigga didn't just harm white ppl though. He capitalized off of the pain and suffering of Black queer folks and their families/allies. There are ppl who actually get fucked up for being Black and gay, there are ppl who were actually killed for being Blk and queer, hell there are countless ppl who were killed for just being Black. Add that to the long list of Black queer men just dying everywhere around the age of 30 and no one is making all this chatter.
Do ppl think the lucky few who survived this kinda shit are talking about when whitey does something similar? Do ppl think they're not hurt for having to relive some of that trauma and the BS that ppl threw at them for trying to tell or report their pain? Are we thinking about the ppl who have never expressed when the shit like Jussie faked actually happened to them? Fuck niggas mean he didn't do anything wrong? Fuck ppl mean oh it's just a lie ?
Why are so many ppl forgetting about THESE ppl. We claim we love one another so fuckin much Black Powa! Unity! Fuck the crackers but folks be so focused on this whatabout shit that they completely forget the victims of actual violence. Our own fuckin ppl.
This SLOW ass dingy nigga doesn't deserve any of my goddamn compassion. He tried to play US and he's not a white person.
Niggas really need to ask themselves why they go to bat for some of us (celebs, influencers, attractive folks) and not others.
