do you think you can be truly pro black and be with a white person?

That’s a real good question…
I truly don’t know the answer to that but if anyone else does they are more than welcome to reblog and share their opinions. Any takers?

while I don’t think being with a white person inherently makes you less pro-black – I think your partnerships and relationships with white people make you more visible and therefore more privileged/having more mobility in our society. 

also – being with white folks romantically can be quite challenging because of set standards of beauty and desire being extremely white washed. In ways – you may come to realize your white partner as super average at best – not to mention their level of comprehension in regards to your journey through white supremacy and their ability to care for you while you’re being ‘anti-white’ or saying things that do not align with whiteness. 

of course your white partner could truly be an ally – but that requires on going work and unless you’re willing to repeatedly check your partner and make space to process – which is not easy – you’ll be dealing with whiteness in your face 24/7 on an intimate level which makes it harder to call out/hold folks accountable.

Im not cool with the train of thought had by some Black folk that Black people should automatically be grateful to white people speaking about racism like they aren’t the root cause in the first place. Not a fan.

Happy Juneteenth! This holiday marks the end of the official institution of slavery in the United States, and was historically widely celebrated by black Americans. The photo above is of a 1905 celebration in Richmond, Virginia.

On this day in 1865, enslaved people in Texas were informed of their freedom, two years following the Emancipation Proclamation. Also on this day, the Civil Rights Act of 1963 was passed, after an 83 day filibuster in the US Senate. This is the 150th anniversary of Juneteenth, meaning that official chattel slavery ended in the United States only six generations ago. 

This is an important day to remember and honor all those who struggled against this titanic evil- those whose names we know, and the countless others whose resistance was not recorded and lost to history.
