Imagine thinking it’s okay to say that a WOC is “nuts” for calling out racism. Imagine thinking you as a white woman have any say over what is or isn’t racist.
I’m tired of having to repeat myself over and over about why this isn’t okay. I shouldn’t have to. You guys think that because you’re voting democrat and have the B*den-H*rris logo as your avi that you can turn a blind eye to ppl like this constantly disrespecting poc around here
It’s not enough for you guys to tell me in private that this woman is out of line, when you still engage with her and her racist friends. The only white person I’ve seen speak up about these things is @gotatheory and I see you guys ignoring her tweets when she does so too.
The lengths this fandom has gone to to try to avoid seeing the racism and microaggressions of both the fans and the actors is disgusting, especially when all of you want to consider yourselves allies. The amount of ppl who have me blocked for telling Sean to not be racist -
is insane. Look at this acct for example. I’ve never in my life spoken to this person, all I know is she’s friends with @KateJaneway25 . And yet she’s blocked me twice. Why? Because you don’t like the reminder that Sean is anti-Black?
Or do you just think I’m being unnecessarily mean about it? Do you think I’m rude? If that’s the case, let me tell you that I don’t need to be nice when calling out racism. I don’t owe any of you a sweet, gentle hand-holding while I tell you why you need to respect BLM or -
why ppl saying that an actress of color needs to thank her white costar for “getting her a job” is a racist take. Do not tone police me. Do not tone police any WOC daring to speak out if you want to call yourself an ally.
Hating Trump doesn’t get you ally brownie points.

If you don’t have a problem with continuing to support a man who is anti-Black, or continuing to enable people like that woman who think it’s okay to call a WOC dumb for calling out racism then fine. But let’s be upfront about it. Because your silence tells more than you think.
(And she has me blocked, but since she and her friends have such a big problem with being screenshot and not tagged, @stacy_ellen_ )
