I was told that I should be careful about where I bring bad energy & shouldn't have brought it there.

I never once yelled, I never once blamed anyone, I never pointed fingers, didn't even raise my voice above inside voice.

I was literally participating and sharing my thoughts bc of the exercise....

No one took into account anything else I said except the word 'anger'.

why?

Bc since ppl do not read nor do they listen, they hear *one* word that makes them feel some type of way and run away with it.

But if I was a WW, no one would have batted an eye.

Being that I was a BW (albeit light skinned and there's context for colorism to be discussed here too) and unapologetic about it, then there was a fucking issue.

My anger is righteous. And you will not get an apology

Queer anger is righteous. Black people's anger is righteous. POC anger is righteous.

Your problem with the anger, is that you know, deep down inside, that you are in that system that we are in, except you don't deal w the shit it reaps and we do.

That reality smacks you in the face and you asking us to pipe down won't change that fact.

@ArtistMarciaX a thing i try to do every time i wanna tone police is i think of a time when i was just being honest and got policed myself

helps me get outside the reaction, yea?

@amphetamine SAME.

And I am not spreading hate.

Where in the world do you read hate spreading from "structural racism, misogyny, transphobia and economic control is ruining our world' I will never understand.

Bc again, yall don't read nor do you listen
