I Am So Tired of White People

I am so tired of white people. When you hear that, I am sure it is a shock but hear me out. It’s not even the racists white people. I can appreciate the honesty, because I know where we stand. I am so tired of the white liberals who cosplay as abolitionists but are simply using their white guilt to dress in costume under the guise of “support”. I am tired. It’s all talk. Every time there is an opportunity to walk the walk, they prove me right, which I do not like being right. It seems like they care more about chasing the trending, fleeting movements of the week than to put in real, raw, long term work for the greater good of minorities. I am tired of them grouping everyone under an umbrella. What the fuck is a BIPOC? Bruh, I am Blackity Black. Are you really that scared to say BLACK? What is Black and brown? Our situations may intersect, but each story deserves its own platform to express the power behind the white supremacy. Sit in it. Stew in it. Be uncomfortable motherfucker.

I am tired of buzz words, processing, healing, working through. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK. What is there to process? Ya granddaddy is racist and ya daddy is the king of microaggressions. What is hard about that? You white liberals, democrats, independent, moderate MFs overcomplicate racism with word salad. Please be forreal. It’s insulting to a Black person to watch you dance with cute words to describe the genocide, rape and murder of my people. How DARE YOU?!

If you are really serious about dismantling racism and prejudice, then put your money where your mouth is. Actually listen to Black people and their needs for the community, LISTEN to their voices and don’t patronize them. We can smell bullshit a mile away. Donate your days pay on Juneteenth that you don’t deserve to a Black owned business. Half of you trash the meaning of Juneteenth anyway behind closed doors, so why profit from it. Why don’t you buy that single mom that you used for a prop during the government shutdown a month's worth of groceries then? Why don’t you help house your fellow Black veteran since you all love weaponizing the military. It is right in your face, what’s stopping you? Really put in the work and time at a Black owned organization so you can look these people in their faces and not a nameless venmo tag. Oh that’s right, you gotta process this. I am so tired of white people.
