#was reading about the kid who got shot for ringing a white man's door bell
#and feeling so angry bc i can't help thinking that white cultural demands perfection from black victims
#oh a kid got shot? how were his grades? what extracurriculars did he do?
#i would be just as sad and angry about this shit if this boy was a high school dropout
#i would feel like screaming even if he had been ringing door bells as a prank instead of trying to pick up his siblings
#i want to live in a world where children don't get shot
#where white people aren't ruled by the irrational fear of black and brown people that's been taught since this country was colonized
#and as always I'm sitting here looking at the situation & knowing that my whiteness keeps me at a distance from being like the victim here
#as much as it repulses me to think about it-- i know I'm closer to the shooter
#so many years of watching this violence unfold again and again is like staring at your guts spilling out of you
#viscera and mess and rot all spilling out.
#and just when you start to think you've made progress cleaning it up it all explodes out again
#ugh.
#sorry for the imagery it's just. this kid shouldn't have been shot and neither should trayvon martin or mike brown
#or the countless others who have been turned into cardboard cutouts with lists of achievements and names we're supposed to keep saying
#over and fucking over
#i don't want to say any more names. bc i don't want there to BE anymore.
#sorry i just had to get that all out
