Forgiveness does not make us more profound or conscious than our oppressors. This beast that was invited into Black space and murdered these gracious host does not deserve forgiveness. Forgiveness is not justice. Forgiveness — especially since we have not yet had room to decompress or process — is at best, an impediment and at worst, a distraction.

8 Things Black Folk Don’t Have to Do in Light of the AME Massacre (via brutereason)

“It was an attack in a church, it was an attack on Christianity.”

So the Sandy Hook mass murder was an attack on education and the Aurora shooting was an attack on entertainment?

And we don't give a shit that he almost didn't do it because he did!!! He did it!! He killed 9 innocent Black people even though they were inviting and hospitable when they didn't have to be. Ultimately he did not give a fuck about their niceness or politeness because when you have blackness none of that shit matters.

He's a literal fucking demon. Black people been had heart and soul this ain't nothing new. Us lacking humanity ain't never been the problem because we have the most of it.

FRY. HIS. ASS.

Black tumblr is a mess sometimes...

It’s depressing cause when you think about it, a lot of ppl are only “woke” in a superficial way. It’s actually more to being “woke” than knowing our real history and how oppression works and always recognizing racism/other isms and saying all the right things etc. 

You’re not woke if you don’t think critically for yourself about your own experiences. Your mind ain’t free if you feel the need to bring white ppl into something when they actually not involved. You can be conscious all the time without being in “activist mode” all the time and tryna fight with somebody when you disagree. Dont beef with our own ppl.

So many ppl just recycling they anger and pain but that hurts you. Sometimes you gotta let it go. I know they hurt you. They hurt me too. But in our fervor with our consciousness and our struggle we always gotta make sure we not hurting ourselves.

I love y’all, but I wanna see us really be free.
