Bye Felicia!

For all of the white people who are not yet blocked: if you are a white man or woman, who has no stories, and has less than 50 followers, and you respond to one of my posts, there will be no response to you, and in all likelihood you will get blocked. I’ve had more than enough of white people’s tears, whining, and nonsense online, to last an entire lifetime. I do not need more, and I do not believe in f**king around when it comes to blocking people.

Whatever you’re about to say, I’ve already heard it.

I am not Jesus, nor have I ever claimed to be. I’m not a Liberal either, nor have I ever claimed to be. I am not polite. I am not civil.

Go on somewhere!

I’m not gonna give you a pass, just because you’re a stranger. I don’t need to listen to you, or read your opinions. You cannot and will not shame me into being your punching bag, or accepting your mansplaining or nonsense. I’ve heard it all before.

No. I don’t NEED to know what you think about what I just said. And I was not asking for your input anyway.

I’m tired of hearing white people’s regressive opinions, about my lived experiences, and you are not invited to interact with me.
