“Great oogly moogly, I’m a racist.”
That’s not funny, but the delivery is.

I'm taken aback by the views expressed in this post, especially in a community focused on Philadelphia. I want to clarify that I'm not harboring ill-will towards every white person. However, my experiences with racism have left me with trauma, and I'm not yet ready to confront those feelings or be in inclusive spaces. For now, I prefer to surround myself with people who understand my struggles, and for the most part, that’s my own.
The recent election results have only reinforced my concerns. I'm so disappointed and feel that it's essential to acknowledge the ongoing issues faced by Black America. To the white folks reading this, I urge you to be allies, not obstacles. If your black friends are open to your support, offer it. Donate to organizations working towards a better future for Black America, and educate yourself on the challenges we face.
Here, I’ll say it — I don’t believe America is progressive one bit, Even outside of what we face, the LGBT+ are still fighting for their rights as well. It’s insane, but this is where we are right now, and for most of us, myself included, I really don’t see things getting better but I will try to be optimistic.
