Okay so do you remember the discourse the other day about how black people get dragged by white "allies" when they try to correct them and ask them to actually behave like allies? Now it's bullying? WE ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE.

Thank you so much for all of your continued support. I see all of your comments and messages and they mean so much to me! I’ll respond as I can, but especially after protesting, I don’t think I’ve ever been so tired in my life. Truly, though, thank you. 🖤

Also, reading fiction by black authors is not enough. I know some of y’all don’t like non-fiction but it’s necessary in order to understand the systematic racism in this country. Fiction can only teach so much

My soul is weary I tell you.

I am devastated.

Pace yourself on social media right now, Black people. This is a marathon not a sprint and it’s traumatic. We need to take care of ourselves because who else is going to do it?

I cannot with some people. I'm about to make some things really clear for you, so buckle the fuck up.

Can you hear them now!?

Make sure you read through this whole thread and modify you CURRENT behavior accordingly. Y’all don’t get to say “black lives matter except for the person that I don’t like on book twitter.” For real, I need y’all to DO BETTER!

No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace.

How do you have this conversation with a child? My heart is broken.

If every time someone tells you that you need to learn and grow, the first thing that you do is take offense - take that as your evidence that you need to learn and grow.

What an amazing and articulate book review! Y’all go subscribe to Sienna (Sienna Eva)! I love this! 💖youtu.be/elXEQPfP2BE

If you have ever even considered being an ally in this community you need to watch this video. Bee has consistently received more hate than any creator, and yet if you scroll through their videos you can see that they’ve BEEN answering the questions y’all are just now asking.

I have been seeing a ton of support for Black Booktubers but I haven’t seen any Black Blogger Lists, can we get one going because I want to follow every single one of you 🖤 Mine is: beebutbookish.wordpress.com

If you have been on my timeline talking about black women being bullies, about us being angry or too loud — I NEED you to pick up White Rage. Please stop being a part of the problem and start being a part of the solution.

I'm still thinking about this video and how well it's captured what I probably would have said myself. Watch the video if you haven't.

White Fragility will remain one of the two picks for the Blackout Buddy Read. If you would like more information on why, please feel free to watch this video! youtu.be/I3jXyU9LDMs
