wanting Black ppl to be ok with slurs is designed to slow our reaction time to abuse. its easier to kill a body thats slow to react. its all prep work for a larger racial project, which is clearly a total extinction. they want all of us dead and its that serious

[thee black sylvia plath @NotNowNicole]

there's been such a major push towards pacifying verbal abuse in every corner of society. it's inescapable now. same thing w/ chud the builder. "words shouldn't hurt you." abusers hate the idea of their subject having any sort of gut response or reactive survival instinct.
