Lead on, oh Kinky Turtle

thinkspeakstress:

A Black woman’s anger is worthy of a hit, regardless of the circumstances. It’s asking for it. It deserves it. It’s justified.

Let it turn out that bus driver did something to her and she was only reacting in the only way she knew how.

Just let it.

LET IT.

A white woman punches a strange man in the face for making a rape joke in her presence, and it’s ok. If he’d hit her back, y’all KNOW you’d be furious.

Let somebody JOKE about a white woman getting hit and everybody will be up in arms.

But let a Black CHILD get hit by a grown ass man, and she deserves it because she swung first? Because she RAN HER MOUTH? We don’t even know WHY she was. But that don’t even matter, does it? Because nobody is thinking that deep. Nobody is giving her the benefit of the doubt that they surely would had she been a little white girl getting clocked and flung like that.

Hell no.

There’s a discourse in here somewhere, but I don’t have the will or strength to find it. I’m just sickened right now.

Sickened.
