Pocket full of poesy.: Hi, other white people:

pocketfullofpoesy:

(TW: Rape, execution, etc.)

And by “Hi” I mean STFU for a second and think about what you’re doing by infringing on someone else’s righteous anger after a truly terrible and racist murder has JUST been committed.

Someone got killed by the state for being black, and the black community is reacting, and if your biggest concern is your feelings or how dare someone make you feel guilty for your race, well, you need to rearrange your priorities.  Because that is some blatant, sick privilege right there.

This is like when feminists (and some of you call yourselves feminists, hi!) talk about rape culture and men go “BUT LADIES’ NIGHT!”  As if not getting free drinks = getting raped.  Seriously?  This is some low shit.  Shut your traps and show your support by reblogging what black activists are saying, listening, and continuing to beat the drum about this injustice tomorrow when all this fanfare fades.

LOL’d at the first line. “And by ‘Hi’ I mean STFU” Hahaha!
