it always makes me sad

when ppl can see the shit right in front of their faces

and call it a fucking rose

“Black ppl are influential! Look at all the various non-Black ppl

appropriating their culture!”

um…..

no.

that isn’t how this works.

anti-Blackness is a real thing that we do. and so pervasive is the

appropriation that someone can seriously think it is just ‘being

influential’.
