..Cannot and should not be reduced to simple hurt. Especially when racism is still alive and well in this country, including in our own queer community (microagressions count, yall).
Then to suggest Black folks “go to therapy” behind it so they can furthermore center whiteness? Lost the plot…
And as for personal experience, I have experienced way too many microagressions from chalk citizens.
When you have white men telling you “if you poke my stomach, you’ll be sucked into white supremacy,” you think that’s finna get me to date them? HUH?!?
Nobody:
Me spending money:
Random thought: I’m so secure now in my (solo) polyamory that when a toxic monogamist try to use the term being “passed around” as a dig it doesn’t phase me.
Because bitch, you’re probably just mad I can actually be chosen by multiple men while maintaining my independence 🤣 I don’t see the read
Now let me be extremely clear. People are going to date who they want, and that’s fine.
I, however (comma) specifically will not date white men. And that’s ok.
But to come at me from a blank profile to shuck and jive for the alabaster brigade? Bitch…
First and foremost, to boil reasoning down to “I know people have been hurt, but…” is so reductive to the experiences our ancestors went through.
It wasn’t just feelings being hurt: people were brutalized, sexually assaulted, families were separated, WE WERE EATEN (TF). Years of torture and harm..
I haven’t had a good internet argument in a long ass time…and I have time lol
Context: gayemagazine featured The Gay Dating Coach, who essentially said he supports Black men dating yt men, and we should get over our hurt feelings/go to therapy to allow themselves to date yt men
