I'm pissed people.
Pissed.

And Ive got to say my peace. 1/
This bs going on right now is disgusting.
There are several accounts that I follow, people that I really respect, that are trying to make a name for themselves to get into politics.
And that is fine. I have no issues with that.
You are all smart, and vibrant, and work so 2/
damn hard.

Bianca has been fighting though for a very long time. And when I say fighting, I mean fighting.

Ive watched the abuse that she has been subjected to--her losing account after account due to mass swarms.

40k followers--poof. Gone. 3/
I watched her get reported to the FBI. Receive a cease and desist letter for calling a racist out.

Ive seen the racist slurs and the misogynoir.

But Ive also watched her work so damn hard. 4/
And we are all adults here, so let's stop pretending.

She is being purposefully erased.

And this is happening because she is a little rougher around the edges than people like.

She drops F-bombs like Merry Christmases and has no problems calling people out and 5/
talks about pot smoking.

And that seems unpolished and unprofessional to people.
So instead of giving her credit for something that she created, they are going to try and erase her.

And let's all stop pretending this hasnt been happening to Black women everywhere forever 6/
The problem with this plan is that our tent is big. And the Dem party is supposed to be a spectrum. And the base of it is Black women.

Not the Black women you can fit into your neat box, but All Black Women. And they are all different. 7/
So instead of taking her for what she is you have decided not to give her the wristband to get into the VIP tent.

The problem with the VIP tent is that it isnt inside the same tent as the rest of us. And it is the model that the Republicans use. 8/
And that is what you are acting like. Republicans.
Ever watch Republicans interact with their constituents? It is gross.

Your open misogynoir isnt going to be tolerated.
We arent going to tolerate it. 9/
Giving credit to B for her hard work doesnt take the credit that other people have done away from them.
We can be happy for everyone. We arent Republicans.
We grow by building everyone up.
And by everyone I mean everyone inside the tent. The main tent. The only tent. 10/
The next time you want to start mischief, don't.

We are watching you. 11/11
BTW this thread isnt directed to the people I mentioned at the beginning, but one person in particular, and the people that blocked me for taking on that person.
