This whole “meg got shot bc Tory found out she’s trans” element that the deplorable part of black social media have concocted in the past several days illustrates many issues we need to address
1. That violence against trans people is acceptable, expected, and encouraged. This is exactly why people were upset with Dave Chappelle making these kinds of jokes in his Netflix stand ups
2. That violence against black women can be justified if she does not operate in the patriarchical modes of femme expression (she’s physically bigger than average, “aggressive”, and not light skinned) people receive her artistry as wanting to imitate (black) masculinity
3. Violence against black women is a never ending series of jokes that is never reflective of our culture so don’t call anybody out on .

When nipsey got killed there was no room for jokes. Some of y’all still got that damn flag in your bio. Fraudulent
And 4. How y’all foolishly believe anything you read on the internet. It’s bad enough some thought it was justification but it’s even worse y’all believed it in the first place
