We were told by indigenous communities that we shouldn’t purchase sage or Palo Santo because 1) it’s distructive to the environment and 2) it’s exploitative. Yet y’all are still purchasing it, misusing it, and being disrespectful about it?
Listen, the smell of burning sage brings me comfort and my aunt bought me 10 sticks 😭 of it 2 years ago. I only burned 2 and the rest will never be burned by me. I can live without it. And I’ve never purchased Palo Santo because of the text above. We can find different ways to “cleanse” ourselves and our spaces. It has been sensationalized to the max. Let’s have some respect. Don’t y’all feel icky and guilty hearing them say it’s not ethical and doing it anyway...?
And if this is about their tone and how they deliver their message, GROW UP! People can use any tone they want when they’re speaking on their culture!
At this point, I don’t even bat an eye when an A-list celebrity gets “cancelled”.
They get away with heinous acts. Who cares if they get cancelled for shitting wrong? They deserve it. Unfortunately they don’t get caught in their nefarious acts and end up getting dragged for something unrelated.
Shit, the only reason they are so enraged with being fake cancelled is because they all suck, fuck, get assaulted to be where they are. They don’t want their spots taken. They play a role in the game as well so I don’t feel sorry for them.
At this point, I’m no longer speaking up for anybody who opening hates Black Americans, supports the killing of Black Americans, wants to drive Black Americans out of their own country, and stands with people who have committed heinous acts against us for generations. Fight for your own self, leave us out of it. Hopefully every BA will learn to stop asking y’all for help since it’s always used against us as if you’ve done us a favor for posting a Black square. Or “protesting” but really just happy to be out of the house.
It seems you can’t keep our names outta your mouths. It’s always Black Americans to blame or “why aren’t you doing this or that?” When we’ve been allies and we’ve been inclusive. But our coattails are weighed down and our work is being taken for granted.
I’m not speaking up for shit, you don’t have to speak up for me. I won’t disrespect you, I’m staying indifferent, feel how you want about it. I’m all about BAs, descendants of American chattel slavery, LGBTQ+ community, and whatever else I tell you. But everybody else is cut off and I wish the rest of us were apathetic enough to cut people off. We’ve been shown time and time again this “coalition” isn’t real. Whoever started that shit is a clown. I’m not about to be dogged out anymore by the world. Fuck you, have a fucked day.
This is your remidner that if you’re considered a “model minority” you shouldn’t compare your struggles to Black American struggles. But when we call this out WE get the “here come the oppression Olympics” comments.
Do not tie your shit into our shit. If you wanna be real, you can’t compare to the chaos we’ve experienced in this country for hundreds of years. Fight for yourself and keep us outta your mouth. And we aren’t flattered by the “we supported BLM so support us” responses. And Black people built ourselves up time and time again. Even when everything we’ve built was quite literally burned to the ground. Do the same for yourself.
The craziest part of it all is how people will stomp on us then ask for our help...
Amber Heard deserves ALL the hate and we often see people hold back when a woman is accused of abusing a man. It’s just the response is mountainous. Especially from Depp stans and DC stans. I can’t help but see the contrast.
