#alright imma stop talking abt it now but it remains perpetually true so im gonna keep thinking abt it

see the thing that frustrates a lot of black folks is that we're expected to show up for everybody else (not to say we shouldnt, the struggles of one opressed people affect us all which is why we're supposed to support each other and keep community) but the reverse isnt true. no one else believes they gotta show up for us too. we're at the bottom of the barrel and it often feels like everyone else thinks we can stay that way as long as yall get boosted up and then you can forget about what we go through. and it happens over and over and over again
