For Consideration:
No Kings Protestors tell you why you are really out there marching….
Because the great white hope let you down.
Because your life is worse than you ever anticipated in your wildest dreams.
Because you been bamboozled and you been misled— like Malcolm X said.
Oh, and black people aren’t staying home because “marching is not safe for us.”
That is what you all are telling yourselves.
Y’ALL VOTED FOR A BLATANT WHITE SUPREMACIST.
We don’t want to join people who betray us so readily.
We are not fucking marching with y’all— for real?
And black folks don’t usually do performative shit.
That’s y’all’s MO not ours.
We are not marching or dressing in Handmaiden’s outfits or none of that Block Party bullshit.
Do you know why?
We can’t do stuff for imagery. So people can pat us on the back. Because the black community has too much real shit riding on policy change.
Y’all don’t.
The next white guy that gets into office will restore your faith in government and make sure White America feels comfy wumfy again.
The rollback on civil rights and diversity efforts will not be restored immediately. All of those hard won battles Trump reversed will have to be re-fought by another generation of black people.
While you and your household will not feel a thing. Tsk tsk about all of those disenfranchised black voters. What a shame.
So yeah, don’t want y’all to keep lying to yourselves that you are doing anything to benefit us.
If you were, if this is where your heart really is—
You would have voted in our name rather than march and protest in our name.
So lose us with the nonsense.
Thx
Signed
Black People
