Please Help!

I haven't posted on here in years, but I am currently homeless and looking for some help. I don't have a community irl (if I did, I wouldn't be homeless or jobless let's be real) so I'm reaching out to the few resources I do have to help me out during hard times. If you cannot contribute, please consider sharing. Every new pair of eyeballs helps.

Here's also a link to my Chuffed Campaign if you would rather share that instead. Thank you for even taking the time out to read this.

Well!

So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.

That being said!

But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

Consider going through the Smithsonian website to learn about Juneteenth! Recognize why it's an actual day of freedom, versus July 4th and the independence of a select few.

I think white ppl should die

So my friend sent me this screenshot from Ao3…

Holy

Fuck

My girl Pearline is really getting sidelined for the fucking white man and antagonist of the film.

Like LET HER BE WITH HER MAN.

This has got to be on purpose, there is no way people aren't aware of who Sammie’s actual love interest is. I understand there's a lot of reasoning as to why male characters in these kinds of movies are shipped together and people are into that.

But THIS?

THIS?

Come on bro, this isn't right, Sammie might've only known Pearline for one night, but he clearly had a huge thing for her. If she lived they could’ e developed a long term relationship and eventually would get married and have a family.

But Remmick stole that possibility from them and forever traumatized Sammie. Let's also not forget that Sammie named his club after Pearline so her memory would live on.

I know everyone has their own preferences, but I can't get around this ship, it just seems icky and disrespectful to both Sammie and Pearline.

Can we please stop disrespecting female characters (In this case a black woman) just so we can ship two male characters together? There's a right way to do this without a character getting kicked while they're down.

But this is not it at all.

Remmick and Sammie have literally ZERO I repeat ZERO chemistry together. The only appealing thing people seem to be pointing out is that Remmick is predatory towards Sammie.

….

I'm sorry but if that's the appeal then I'm judging you BIG TIME. If it is kink shaming to say that predatory ships are weird and problematic then I guess that's what I'm doing.

The fact that you would sideline the green flag black girl over the biggest red flag white cult leader vampire is CRAZY dude.

There's a right time and place for these kinds of ships, but this is not the place for that. If you think Sammie and Remmick have more chemistry than him and Pearline….

Do me a favor and watch the movie again.

Without rose-tinted glasses, because clearly we did not watch the same movie.

Also If you feel personally attacked by this post, keep in mind this is just my opinion. It's not an attack on dark romance readers or anyone who enjoys that genre. If this was a dark romance book my mouth would be shut because that's up to the book reviewers to cover, not me. But its not dark romance, its Sinners, so I made a post about this nonsense.

With that being said, I am done with this rant.

[stankface]

Oh my GOD saw Sinners again… everybody trying to take Sammie’s voice (Remmick wanting to take it and use it for himself, his father telling him to give his voice to God, even Smoke telling him to give up the blues for his own good). But in the end his voice belongs to HIM!! it’s HIS gift it’s HIS power and he holds onto it and builds a life for himself with his music!!! It’s is his connection to his past and his avenue to his future

this is the main lesson I took from sinners

[stankface]

'all rap music is about money, guns, sex and drugs' is like a nearly 40 year old argument and it's still just as racist and inaccurate as it was in the past

Seeing this serious, battle-hardened gangster smile while holding his baby girl, being able to be with Annie for all eternity, and finally finding peace makes my heart melt.
