I don’t care who you are, if you complain about the amount of attention Black Lives Matter and Black issues get you are antiblack. “But Native Americans!” “But Asians!” Shut up. Tearing down Black people does not help any other community. Yes it can be frustrating when issues you care about don’t get enough focus, but I promise it’s not Black people’s activism that’s getting in your way. Do your own work and don’t act entitled to what gains Black activists have achieved. You’re not as progressive or nice as you think you are if you’re willing to use Black people as a scapegoat.
People don’t say BlackLivesMatters sucks, because we’re “anti-black.” We are against BlackLivesMatters because everyone who is for it is FULL OF SHIT. You lie, you have a hypocritical mindset, and YOU ARE SELFISH. We say asians, native americans, etc. need attention too, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY RACE THAT MATTERS. You people act like everything needs to be centered around you! You ignore every single race around you and say, I’m the one being oppressed! See that black girl in human trafficking?? “THIS MEANS WE NEED TO SAVE OUR BLACK WOMEN FROM HUMAN TRAFFICKING!!!” You people representing BlackLivesMatter take one situation and make it ALL about you! There other races around the world that have to go through shit and STILL go through shit. You don’t KNOW what racism IS!!! You’ll make anything an issue about you and you’ll only mention “history” when it actually benefits you, but even that you twist around and create lies out of it. You’re just a toxic community full of people who do nothing but harrass people, make lies, and act like complete hypocrites. You’re racist, you’re selfish, and you people are DISGUSTING for making every single problem in the world about YOU.
I’m like… nonblack and Asian… but pls go on about how I make everything about Black people, you’re funny. Also Black activists have stood in solidarity with Native Americans and Asians, and spoken against the deaths of nonblack people at the hands of police.
So like if you get this salty about Black people speaking up and organizing around an issue that disproportionately affects them while harming no other group’s efforts to stand for justice and lending a hand wherever possible… then yeah, you’re antiblack as fuck.
GORL I CAN’T
Why does this not surprise me
Honestly posts like this and the latest nonsense over here genuinely have me thinking that nonblack people will hate Black people more than they will EVER hate white people, their actual oppressors. There’s no other explanation for the vitriol we constantly receive from y’all.
I’m just trying to figure out why at this point, is it because we won’t do the work it takes to start a whole ass movement for you? Or maybe it’s because playing nice with the blacks won’t get y’all any closer to the top of the racial hierarchy the same way it would being friends with white people?
Either way I’m fucking sick of it
Nonblack POC have got to do better. This post was intended to be directly about nbpoc, though white people pull that shit too of course (esp. using Native Americans as a weapon against Black people while never giving a shit about Native issues). I have seen sooo many nbpoc, especially Asians, say the shit in the OP and I got sick of it, which was the direct impetus for the original rant.
Asians want the benefits of white supremacy and that’s just a fact. Rather than do the hard work of dismantling white supremacy we would rather punch down at Black people, hoping that’ll get us favor with white people. We want to be quasi-white, off-white, whatever you want to call it, passing ourselves off as non-intimidating and acceptable to white people in comparison to Black people and Latines. Parroting the invalidation of Black people’s pain is just one of the tactics we use to show white people we have their interests at heart and can be trusted. Our antiblackness is corrosive and violent; we have young African refugees in Korea getting “black pig” and “die” scrawled on their desks by their classmates, we have Indians organizing in mob violence against Africans. We need to introspect, apologize, make amends, change, and unlearn. It’s the only way to reclaim our humanity from this hatred.
Call out the Asians because I’m SICK of the anti-blackness in their communities. I’m sick of it in general, but FUQ I just want to live in PEACE in this life.
