Radical self-care

is revolutionary

for the “underserved.”

“Black on Black crime” is

racist, and a deflection

to skew narratives.

#BLM or #blacklivesmatter is a hashtag not an omnibus or silver bullet to address all the racial issues of this country (world). Americans tend to like things quick and convenient. The dramatical changes we need to heal this country (world) require hard collaborative work. They are neither quick nor convenient. Instead of asking, “What about Black on Black crime?” Try a asking “What can I do to promote a climate and culture of love and healing?” Shit, that might even help address “White on White” crime. Cultural change is multifaceted and nonlinear. That’s not to say that you can’t compare apples to oranges. Of course you can! Why do you think they’re both in the “produce” section? The “what about Black on Black crime” question begs for orange juice to be made from Granny Smith apples!
