Today would have been my dad's 59th birthday. He passed away 31 years ago when I was just 5 years old, but I think about him every single day. I still feel his love from the Great Beyond.
Dear Wypipo,
I know it’s been a rough week for you with @Beyonce winning both Country Album of the Year and Album of the Year at the #Grammys, @kendricklamar picking up five Grammys himself and then irritating y’all with an all Black #SuperBowl Halftime Show featuring @serenawilliams crip walking and @sza singing, and to top it off, the #Philadelphia @Eagles winning the Super Bowl and their Black quarterback @JalenHurts being named #MVP.
I know all of this has to sting, but remember, it’s about meritocracy. Hang on in there. If we could get through slavery, lynching, murder, rape, segregation, brutalization, dehumanization, and mass incarceration, y’all should make it through this just fine.
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth.
If Indigenous ppl are telling you…That a word used against some of our relatives in our community is a slur and we disapprove of it, and there are articles online saying that the word was used by colonizers as a tool of racism….Wouldn’t you want to idk believe us???????
Why are people becoming so unhinged at how unbothered Black people, particularly Black women, have become?
We were DEI hires, reverse racists, shills, & all the things. Now yall mad because we're like, "yall got it, it's above me now."
This what yall wanted, right?!!!
@kebebee@HumanityChad Looking for some reactions I see... But I guess from your post and your feed you need love in your life and not from just dogs...
A non-Black man or woman for that matter can never tell me what qualifies as an "honorific" word or term for a Black woman. These colonizers may learn a thing or two about cultural awareness and sensitivity if they ever take a break from oppression. 🩷
@RandomUkGuy1@senno_says I spoke my truth tactfully & moved on, despite the lack of cultural sensitivity you’ve shown. This thread shows the numerous ways I’ve been disrespected, yet I’m the one who supposedly needs healing? Don’t project your issues onto me just bc my perspective differs from yours.
