FAQ
1. What are you hoping to accomplish?
A. Peace of mind- This is a last ditch effort. This is something tangible I can do to let people know the things they are doing are racist. Don’t misunderstand though, I am doing this for me not you.
B. Help stop the finger bleeding- I am doing this for my fellow PoC. Every single day I see someone trying to explain things to racist people. The problem is, it’s the SAME SHIT every single day. It’s not new stuff that is cropping up. New questions. New arguments. IT’S THE SAME THING EVERY SINGLE DAY. Maybe, if I answer these things fully, in the best way I know how, they can just provide a link and beautiful gif of someone giving the finger.
C. To vent my frustrations- I am a talker. If you have seen any of my posts, you already knew that. It somehow makes me feel better to explain things. Sometimes I just want to cuss people out but sometimes, most of the time, I still want to believe that talking helps. Again, I am doing this for me, not you.
D. Your subconscious- While I am not and will not ever be doing this for you, I am extremely aware that racism is hugely ingrained. I am aware that people say and do things without fully knowing the strength or weight of their words. I want to say to you that what you are doing is wrong and this is why. I want the ball to then be in your court. If you fight what I am telling you, then I will have my answer and you will have yours.
2. What is your race?
I am Bi-Racial. Black and white. The things I write about are my experiences as well as the experiences of my fellow PoC. I am very aware that as a light skinned person, I have a certain amount of privilege and that can not be denied. I will do my best to keep my privilege off this page.
3. How long are you going to do this?
As long as I have a reason to be pissed off or until I get to angry to write. So…either forever or six months.
4. Why can’t I ask questions?
I am not your spirit guide. I am not doing this for you. I would be overjoyed to know that a white person saw themselves in something I wrote and then suddenly understood but I’m not delusional. I know that the likelihood of that happening is slim. With that being said, since I am not doing this for you, I am not interested in your questions. I decide what I will write about based on my own experiences as well as the experiences of my friends and sometimes the conversations I see on my dash. This is not about you.
5. Do you have a Personal Blog?
Yep, sure do but I don’t want to have to turn off my asks over there so I am gonna keep that to myself. If you came here because I told you that I have this blog, please keep that information off this page. I would like the two to remain separate.
