This is an extremely bad, terribly awful, no-good take. And during #Pride month too?
No ma'am!

Refusing Sarah Lia-betes Sanders service is for, uh, lying & being a bigot is not the same as someone refusing someone service for being BLACK or GAY or TRANS or FEMALE or DISABLED or wtf & lolololol God help you if you are more than one.
I cannot believe I have to type this.
.@glaad Retract that tweet and issue an apology. Because last time I checked, being a bum ass bigot bitch is not a protected class under the law. And I need *YOU* and all these other centrists to stop acting like it is!
Also while I'm here, fuck "a teachable moment". Like, you can shove that shit up your ass.
And riddle me this @glaad: why is it always on marginalized and disenfranchised folx to TEACH bigots? What kind of storybook shit! Why do you want us to put ourselves in DANGER just to maybe kinda-sorta change somebody's "heart"?
Why can't the bigot just not be a fucking bigot?
MY GAY BLACK ASS DOES NOT EXIST TO TEACH YOU. GO TO THE FUCKING LIBRARY OR GOOGLE THAT SHIT
Y'all really put that tweet on Beyoncé's internet.
Besides the “holiday” being an affront to our Indigenous siblings, it is also in line with America’s ever-present tradition of simultaneously celebrating White mediocrity and depravity and tbh, return to sender please 😐
In addition to this, if you *HAVE* to celebrate a “Christopher” today, there are others available, who aren’t directionally-challenged nincompoops.
Hi. It’s true that America’s White supremacist “education” (re: propoganda) system purposely obscures & omits all kinds of Black stories. AND it’s true that the technology/social media boom at the turn of this millenia has given us access to an unprecedented amount of information
~Both things~ can be true. Because nuance lol
So I think it’s unfair to be all like “omg stop dragging him” when all folx are really doing is telling him to open a book, Google something, or leave his bubble to learn something new. I don’t think that’s an unfair thing to ask of someone who professes to know better?
I hate how this question is a thing too (i.e misogynoir & colorism) but the older I get, the more I realize that it’s not because the asker is seeking validation (eff y’all, BW are dope), but more so because bigotry in dating is an immense time waster & who got time to waste?
Listening to Dawson yesterday remembering some things that Toni Morrison has explained about racial trauma/race-specific gaslighting, I am reminded that the most violent thing about racism is not just the actual violence but the joy & the *time* that it steals away from us.
And BW in these asking scenarios (even when it comes to BM) find ourselves asking this question because we already have 502052950204 things trying to tug at our very precious & not-infinite source of energy & we definitely do not want to & wasted time & affection to that list lol
As you are saying this, Debra, media outlets are still having a field day with male survivor Jimmy Bennett for even *daring* to come forward about being allegedly assaulted by Asia Argento.
What is with y’all and lying about the believability of male/non-women survivors? Like patriarchy doesn’t also chew them up and spit them out for being ~weak enough~ to be assaulted???? Hmm? What gives?
This ~superior victim~ thing that White women have going on is not the wave and it is precisely the thing that keeps undermining the efforts of #MeToo/#TimesUp and tbh, y’all need to let that shit go because if it that isn’t base narcissism, IDK what is.
