I can see you’ve been inundated by comments from white men castigating you for not sticking in there, and just taking white people’s abuse, so they can feel better about their own shitty behavior. According to them it’s just ALL you, I guess.

I support whatever supports your mental health. Your emotions are perfectly valid, and you do whatever you have to do to take care of your emotions. I ,too, am no longer accepting friendship applications from white people. I just can’t risk it. I’m too tired to try to sort through the good and bad ones.

I’m just fcking tired. I’m wearing thin.

I never should’ve read the comments on this post . It’s gotten to the point where when I see the comment is from a white man, I just don’t bother. I kept reading though, because I was hoping for that gem. Deep in my heart I hope to read the words of one who gets it, but I guess those white men ain’t talking on the internet. White men on the internet have so far never ceased to disappoint me. I should’ve checked out as soon as I saw their photographs. Shouldve known I’d just be reading the same old “telling the oppressed how they SHOULD feel” crap.
