I cannot waste a second of my life catering to white women's tears. Ever again. When you see children who look like you die in the street’s disproportionately, let’s talk. When you are unable to live in a community because of the color of your skin, talk to me. When your children have to fear for their lives at a traffic stop talk to me. When you cannot trace your lineage back more than 2 generations because your ancestors were stolen and enslaved talk to me. Until then, please shed your tears on someone who actually has tissues to wipe them away. Because my people are DYING. And I’m fresh out.
