after i've read the articles about berlinda nibo, I couldn't stop crying. it's dehumanizing how disrespected black women (specifically dark-skinned) are it saddens me that no group or community as a collective care about us, white, black, lgbtqia+, etc.
nobody speaks up for us but us, we have to stick together black women, stay on code please for your and our safety. I don't care if nobody responds or sees this post but I have to speak my mind. be selfish, okay, care about black women and yourself because it seems like those are the few people who care.
the fact that they called her the n-word and took her wig off was hurtful and I'm filled with pain because if it was me (a dark-skinned black woman) I would've just been a deceased body.
there is no outrage when we are attacked and embarrassed. my heart is broken and I'm crying as I write this and I'll admit that.
us black women have feelings we don't experience pain than anybody else, I'm sensitive and I'm proud to admit that. I used to think we could all just work together to save everybody and support everyone but I realized nobody supported me, so I had to get rid of that support and focus on what matters to me.
which is the safety of my sisters.
I'm going to change my BLM matter stuff in my profile because BLM supports everyone but black women. members of our community don't even support us so stop being blind and see the world for what it is. It took a lot of growing for me to see that nobody is going to magically just wake up and say “let me love and support black women the way they need to be. ”
black women, please know that, I love you. ♡︎
