Black ppl aren’t obligated to forgive “racist phases”
The trauma we endured from those “edgey” kids who were “so young” will last a lifetime while they get to “grow” we get to walk the world knowing ppl hate us for existing
White (and some poc) queer people immediately assuming black people “must have had a homophobic or transphobic past” in response to antiblackness always reads as if they’re trying to somehow trying to excuse racism and once again shows they don’t ever consider BLACK QUEER people.
I was raised in a homophobic, transphobic and racist family. I unlearned it all. I grew up and learned to love. How you're raised is no excuse for being a bigot.
If you had a "racist phase" respectfully go fuck yourself. It's one thing to have unconscious biases that might stem from how systematic racism is, but straight up viewing another race as sub human, throwing slurs around, and having entire fucking phase revolve around that?
Dad just yelled at me for smearing shit on the walls again..I didn’t mean to this time but h-he wouldn’t listen and-and it’s not my fault I have ADHD why doesn’t he fucking understand..
"you were raped! so you cannot ever be anything other than that! you cannot be liked, you cannot be cosplayed, you cannot be an event in a halloween horror show, you can't be in video games, you can't be merchandised you can't be-"like do yall hear yourselves lmao.
