reminder: when black transfems do activism, calling them "hostile" & "violent" are, for all intents & purposes anti-black slurs. not even dog whistles. just straight up slurs. that pattern is old and we know you just wanna call us Sapphire caricatures or an ABW.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_b... it wasn't a coincidence in the 60s when the fbi under hoover, southern politicians & the mainstream press called civil rights organisers "hostile" "violent", "agitators", "communists" wasn't a coincidence in the 70s when the same institutions kept saying that-

about black power groups & the panthers. or the 80s, when the reagan administration & major media framed black communities through the crack epidemic & "urban chaos" or the 90s, when bipartisan "tough on crime" politics (including the clinton era consensus & "superpredator" rhetoric) & coverage-

drew lines between "peaceful protest" & "riots" & used "destruction" as a label to distance themselves from the more disruptive parts of the movement (black people). & in 2020, the same pattern again: liberals, republikkkrats & mainstream media condemned "rioting" & "looting", affirmed the right-

to protest "peacefully". reached for the exact same words that have been used against black people organising for decades to use it against BLM riots & George Floyd memorials. once again, not a coincidence. so FORGIVE ME if im intolerant when the same exact labels get thrown at me or my people-

the same words they've been using on us for sixty years. forgive me if i don't sit quietly while people reach for the same shit that's been used on black people doing activism since the 60s, the same shit that killed us, the shit that painted us as agitators, communists, threats, superpredators-
