Someone literally commented on one of my posts and went “well it’s different because she was killed by ICE for no reason vs. them being able to justify the other deaths” and I was like…OH GOT IT you see immigrants and brown people as automatically being eligible to be killed by the police and ICE and it making sense in your brain. Like go fuck yourself.
Hey, I’m the OP of the original post. I did not post this with any intent of overlooking the absolute devastation ICE has caused, both on a national level, and personally to me and you. I was posting in the LGTBQIA+ forum to remember Renee specifically as a member of our shared community when so many are using her identity as an excuse.
translating: “do you remember the ONE time we rioted for you people of color? and we haven’t about our other colored neighbors that have been taken by ICE? Until a victim turned out to be white?? we definitely play about our neighbors” like bro you mentioned george floyd. The fuck that gotta do with your hispanic neighbors taken by ice while you silently shit yourself
I’ve been trying to do something this whole time. Protesting. Donating what little I can afford. Speaking up. Voting. Things keep getting worse anyway. I genuinely feel like there is nothing I can do. I see everyone else trying too. I just feel like it doesn’t matter what we do because the government will do what it wants anyway.
You’re attacking me like I’m not a POC. I’m a first gen American from an immigrant family. My people are the ones being hunted rn so pls calm down brother. Many things can be simultaneously true. So like I said, you’re right and I agree with you but now is not the time. Read the room and let people mourn someone who was wrongfully murdered.
i don’t give a fuck what color you are, that doesn’t change my point??? i’m not one of those weirdos who’s gonna give you a pass because you’re melanated. “Read the room” after they’ve been killing my people is insane. I don’t care if you’re an immigrant or colored, you could be lebron the king fucking james himself, and I would still get on your ass for “now’s not the time to acknowledge and hold people accountable”.
speaking as a Black woman here, I don't think it's so much losing the ability to empathize over it, i think it's trauma. in fact, i KNOW it's trauma. desensitization to such events is a coping strategy for the pain it causes. feeling outrage every single day for our brothers and sisters being murdered? i do get it, but i think the answer is learning how to be angry again and be productive with that anger.
no im seeing it as “only for the white neighbors” because that’s what everyone gets up and arms and posts about. there have been more posts about this one woman than the entirety of the immigrants. Not a single time have I seen someone post a memorial post for any of the dead immigrants on here.
i’m not mad at them i’m mad at the system and yearn to destroy it, and anyone in the way can either get educated or go down with it. I’m done with the nice shit, what’s what put us here in the first place. Stay disturbed at my anger. Do something about it. Make there be no neeed for my anger. Fix the problem.
Awee wait I love that. Okay so at first I had the impression that you were getting mad at people who agreed with you for no reason, but I see that it is just a very serious problem that you refuse to let go unaddressed. Low-key inspiring me to stand up to my homophobic and racist family. I’ve always been too scared to bc they’re low-key INSNAE. But idk, this inspired me to speak the truth openly
yeah a lot of people say that my anger and adamancy is inspiring when they learn what it comes from. I used to be just like you, scared of my parents and stuff, but i’m done letting people walk all over me, and i have been for a while. I ran away from home in 11th grade and am now a junior in college on full scholarship. I refuse to give up and i refuse to die.
not only did you fail to contribute anything to the conversation, you made no points backed by logic or evidence. My point: The deaths aren’t treated equally by this social group because POC are seen as “less human” Evidence: Only posts about non-POC death, posts saying it has to stop NOW, etc. it’s simple conversational structure that you’re failing to understand please just go back to middle school and let the adults talk
All jokes and bullshit aside, you might have single-handedly produced the most useless and ignorant comment i’ve ever seen, given the amount of context on this post as to what I mean. You genuinely got to have talent in being a complete fucking imbecile. You can’t make this shit up. I’m actually somehow impressed at this level of ignorance, like, i’m so serious. No bullshit, i hope you are a middle schooler because this is embarrassing as fuck for you in any other plausible situation.
