some of ya’ll act like Black people can’t pick up on anti-Blackness and micro-aggressions. it’s always framed as projection, a misunderstanding or defensiveness like we don’t know how to pick up what people put down in a slick way. we have lifetimes of experience. we know.

in dominican/caribbean latinx context, ice spice is what we call “jaba.”

I would even go as far as to say you don’t need to be Black to call out antiBlackness when you see or Indigenous to call out anti-Indigenuity. Just like you don’t have to be an immigrant to call out xenophonic/anti-immigrant rhetoric. Bc the labor should not just be on us.

when people talk about the “I no black” joke, this is the trauma they’re ignoring and dismissing. even if you were a Black Dominican or a Black Haitian, safety and survival meant not admitting or saying that on the side of the island colonized by Spain
My grandfather was born in 1933 when Trujillo was in power. He was 4 years old when the Parsley Massacre happened. His father was Haitian but would not acknowledge my grandpa or his siblings as his children for their SAFETY.

@bertrhude
Beautiful work 👏 love how you say those who came before you & not you🙌🏽 We all know that Haitians aren’t descended from the Taino since you arrived via the French 200 Years after the Arawaks went Extinct on the island. Only Haitians with Taino 🧬 are descendants of OG Dominicans

yeah, even as someone who doesn’t have kids and may never want them - children are still part of my liberation politics and I would argue they are the most marginalized in the globe. if you believe in liberation, you have to care about children.
I would not date someone who calls themselves child free because TO ME that means no part of your life has children, so we have no shared politics or goals, or yr not practicing whatever vaguely leftist politics you claim. Our communities have kids. Our liberation includes them.

literally, being called in means people believe you can do better and should. it’s not discarding you. it’s not attacking you. it’s the opposite. it’s giving the opportunity for growth and learning in order to continue to build or rebuild (or stay within) community and trust.
I dunno, I think sometimes a thing that can get lost is that when someone calls you in, or tries to hold you accountable, it's an act of love. I dunno, I feel like we don't frame it that way enough. You are LOVED, that is why ppl want you to understand how you hurt them.
