i encourage all of you, regardless of your age, to not take this shit advice

It just gives that you think the things Black people say are a joke. Yeah, it’s that serious. It’s a distortion and a kowtowing to right wing perspectives bc you are looking to make concessions to attract and appeal to people that would piss next to you if you were on fire. It’s pathetic.

There is only woke. There’s no dark woke, woke 2, woke 1, or any of that other shit white and white-adjacent people are saying to be funny. I don’t care if it’s a losing battle, I’m going to tell you to shut the fuck up every time with that shit. Yes, it’s anti-Black. We do not like it.

As we prepare to go into the midterm elections, remember: Trump & Republicans are to blame for our rising deficit, job loss, inflation, wars, loss of affordable healthcare for many, & so much more. They have the majority right now. Their policies hurt average Americans. Make a plan to vote.
