Imma say this louder for those of y’all in the back that are willfully hard of seeing and hearing: IF IT DON’T APPLY, JUST WALK ON BY. You see the title of this here page, if you can’t be bothered to do any other due diligence.
If the title alone makes you scrunch up your face, roll your eyes, or think to yourself, “but what about…?,” walk on. This ain’t for you. Put all that wasted energy you’re chucking over here to post some subtle as a skunk in a perfume store “all lives matter” propaganda to better use. You ain’t clever and you ain’t fooling anyone.
I’d suggest unlearning your very loud and conscious bias, but I know that is a lost cause. So might I propose yoga, Pilates or whatever your favorite pastime is?—other than trolling other people, obviously. Go do that nowhere else.
You are the reason spaces like this absolutely have to exist. This space is first and foremost for Black women—*gasp* I know, right?—AND for all allies, advocates, supporters, defenders, protectors, and lovers of who we are and what we stand for. This place is inclusive of anyone who gets it and isn’t offended when Black women are centered, not to the exclusion of all others, but, you know, for once. If you can’t understand the difference, all I got for you is the GIF below. #iykyk #isaidwhatisaid #psa
