Today's lesson, Racism. If you see something written here that you’ve said or done, use it as an opportunity. Take it as a wake up call and make the decision to grow, change and be conscious of your own privilege. Remember, I am not a speaker for the entirety of a people.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The person pretending to be Trayvon Martin’s murderer on Twitter just called Black people “Moon Crickets.”
It was explained to me a while ago from my white rednecks friends. When they explained it to me I was in shock because it was like they didn’t even realize they were saying this to a Black person.
But I guess it was my fault cause they were just tossing the word around like it was nothing, and I asked what it meant.
I’ve never heard this before. I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU POINTED THIS OUT. I kind of hope they were saying this to fuck with you. I am going to do some research on it. Either way, I feel like every single time I talk to you it’s to tell you how much I love you but I promise, I have never been more thankful for you than I am at this very moment.
