#protect black women

[cocofetti]

This!!! Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in being accepted and liked by others. WHO ARE YOU AND DO YOU LIKE THAT WOMAN?! That's what you need to be concerned with, becoming someone that YOU like and want to be around! Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can ever put on without taking a thing off. And it will carry you rather than any opinions that will come your way. Go where you are loved, black woman. Go where you are cherished, black woman. And if you are struggling to find that place outside of you, please don't forget to cultivate that place inside you.

I think there’s definitely some black women who can’t relate to what I’m going to say (which is good as some have moved past seeking validation from men) but specifically to my young darker skinned black girls. I feel like many of you are too concerned with who doesn’t like them / find them desirable instead of focusing on themselves so they can become a quality woman and be in spaces where quality men are and engage with those men that value them / find them desirable. It’s difficult seeing others around you recieve more compliments or praise but this is the world we live in & we must make the most of our experience.

We know that Black men are highly fetishised, colorist and some suffer from self hatred. We know that some non black men are point blank anti black or their insecurity towards black men (which even hinders how they interact with women in their own race who engage with black men) makes us so called “undersirable”. I made a post earlier (in my misogynoir tag) about how being a “desirable” woman in this society has little to do with beauty or your attributes and it’s not something BW should obsess about (because no matter how we look, having a counterpart who is said to have the largest penises and our prioritisation of these men as an outlet of our racial pride, means we’d never have that label). Please understand that.

You can never go wrong focusing on your growth and happiness which will in turn attract the best men ...

This was her FAVORITE time of year... She should be spending it with family... she should be be alive. I'm pissed she's not. I'm so so pissed. I'm hurt. on the verge of tears.

Please dont forget her face, her name, her smile, her caring soul.

She wanted to be a nurse. Wanted to help mothers and babies... And she never got to.

The world was a better place when she was in it...

Merry Christmas Breonna... Thinkin ab you...

I could be overthinking, but can we take a look at the "type" of men who pursued Megan Thee Stallion during such a traumatic time.

Tory Lanez, Da Baby, Pardi, Trey Songz

Notice how differently all of them reacted to her before, during, and after. All of them, IMO, took advantage of her grief. They "picked" Megan not because she was strong and beautiful but because of what she was in that moment- vulnerable and lost.

A rising star who was grieving loss after loss. A woman who at a pivotal moment coped through alcohol and, imo, relationships. I think they all took notice of that in different ways.

Tory and Da Baby both have a history of being abusive in some way, whether physically or verbally. Pardi showed his true feelings after their breakup. Trey has a history as well and showed his in the video where he tried to make her keep drinking when she was refusing and already intoxicated. None of their reactions are indicative of men who love, admire, or care for someone, not platonically or romantically.

*This is merely my opinion as a chronic overthinker, but... the patterns are there.

**I hope this makes sense.

Sonya Massey's last words were "I'm sorry."

I need yall to protect A'ja Wilson the way yall protect Caitlin Clark. Hearing her say that she hates being A'ja Wilson broke me. She don't deserve to feel that way.

If Kamala loses, at least I know I was on the right side of history, and that’s the greatest relief I can ever ask for. Knowing that I stood up for what’s right, the lives of the children who were massacred in their schools, the most vulnerable people in our society and the beat down, is something I can always say I’m proud of. I will always look out for those who are persecuted, those who are discriminated against, the ones who were kicked out of their families for loving who they were born to love.

Take care of yourselves, and always know love shall always prevail no matter what or who is against you 🩷

Goodnight, sweet souls ✨✨✨✨

Dark Skinned Black Girls,

It’s ok. I know it’s a nightmare; every single day. Every single second. But please don’t stop existing. You deserve a quality of life. You’re not different from other races of women. You’re not broken. You’re not unwanted. You’re not undesirable. You are NOT, obsolete. And it’s okay to be exhausted. You owe the world and humanity nothing. Absolutely nothing. Know that. You’ve always been yourself. Whether discriminated against, accepted or emulated. You’ve always been you. You deserve good things. You deserve better. You deserve best. You deserve peace. You deserve sanctuary. You deserve to thrive.

In spite of everything you’re put through.
