From One Survivor to Another

i am just angry

[tw: stalking, violence against Black folks, suicide]

someone taking photos of your apartment is creepy as hell

but it is not:

  • having your house bombed and not knowing if your wife and kids are okay
  • having crosses burnt on your front lawn
  • having bomb and death threats called in to your family
  • getting murdered
  • having your entire genetic and family lineage stolen from you, never to be found
  • having the FBI wiretap you and then send you notes asking you to kill yourself

and let’s not forget that white folks have over twenty times as much median net worth for households than Black folks

and shit, there are Black folks on tumblr (dionthesocialist, baddominicana, bookishboi) and trans women (genderbitch, autumn-and-eve) who regularly get death threats and other horrible messages and no one gets this pissed off for them

    Hell, that list could seriously go on. And the folks who do go hard in defense of these bloggers can only do so much....
  8. bookishboi said: There have been a handful of POC on tumblr who have received threatening phone calls, emails, pictures, and even had their personal information posted online with people stating that they should be harassed, raped, assaulted. Sympathy is where?
