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-

of the LA riots did it again. in the 2000s the language got more coded "crime", "gangs", but media & law enforcement still reached for the same tools to eradicate us, especially during moments like katrina coverage in the 2010s, after ferguson & baltimore, conservatives & a liberals & democrats-

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-

now just "hostile" & "violent" again. forgive me if i'm especially intolerant when they don't just stop at the labels. when they go further & start pretending i'm having a mental episode. acting like i'm unstable, irrational, out of control, the classic sapphire caricature, the Angry Black Woman-

who's supposedly lost their mind for daring to push back against genocide-normalisation & apathy. we've been called these things for caring, for decades we've been pathologised for decades we've been dismissed as crazy for speaking up for decades so no, i'm not going to be polite about it, fuck you-

if you have any other feelings that what i've outlined above, i don't wanna hear it, go fuck yourself. i'm not going to be "justifying" my beef with anybody that was part of this bullshit. i'm gonna keep talking about how racist they are, and if you interrogate it or ask for "evidence", then my-
