this was sitting on my spirit and i was urged to font this.
from the desk of the foxhole.
We have to stop getting mad because people don’t agree with us.
People will not like us because we are black.
People will not like us because we are gay.
People will not like us because we are trans.
People will not like us because we are non-binary.
People will not like us because we are people.
when it comes to sexuality or gender…
…many people will not agree with us because they were trained not to.
blame their parents and that Bible.
being something other than straight is not gonna be accepted by everyone.
even people within our communities won’t agree or accept us.
there are many people who don’t like me because i’m black and gay.
there are straights in my irl who don’t like me because i’m black,
gay,
and better than them.
tough titty.
they have two options:
Make room for me
I’ll have my people come in and make room for me
“what i ain’t finna gon’ do” is try to make them like me on the internet.
they’ll just have to muthafuckin’ deal.
why?
I’ve cared too much in the past to make people like and accept me.
I spent years trying to make others see me as my friends do.
Failed miserably.
we are not kids anymore and this isn’t the playground.
we are grown-ass adults who pay our own bills.
we do not need to bully people into agreeing with us either.
you bully one into a corner and you got 10,000 more to go.
not only that:
It’s actually letting people know we need them to accept us because we still don’t accept ourselves.
just my thoughts.
folks fighting over nonsense besides what truly matters.
people think bullying people into accepting them is what works.
what is really happening is folks are silently plotting agaisnt them.
Nothing is worse than people saying they accept you to your face but conspiring with your opps behind your back.
by opps,
voting for demons who are agaisnt our causes.
this is why we have so much mess in our government now.
must history repeat itself?
lowkey: our black icons,
legends,
and leaders faced so much opposition in their journeys.
many white people who did the most to break them.
i have yet to hear of them bullying white people into accepting them.
i wonder if it’s because there was no social media back then?
Yass Jamari, keep going keep going!! You are a role model for the gays that are struggling that visit your blog. Never forget that!
I totally agree with this post. I simply don’t care and I’m good with just 2 best friends lol. I don’t need the world or even family to accept me like me or care about me. I love me and the people in my corner I know love me too and that’s it. I’m into good vibes and truth only.
Amen! Amen! And can I say, Amen? You have to learn to accept yourself and empower yourself. Once you do that, fuck everybody else. And P.S. It’s been so great to see your development and changes for the better over time, Jamari. You have honored us by letting us into your world.
