oh hon, this is not bravery. this is “i either deal with it or die”. those are my only options.

DTWPS

this quite accurately sums up the way PoC have to deal with racism. honestly, as much as white people want to diminish the affect that erasure, racially-charged violence (physical, emotional, spiritual, mental), unapologetic ignorance, refusal of non-PoC to grow and learn, and blatant disrespect have on the psyche and well-being of a PoC, it’s not only tiring, but it can push you to the very limits of your tolerance for anything. but, if these offenses to our very beings are not dealt with, our only other choice is, in one way or another, to die.

to one way or another die.

I can’t get that phrase out of my head.
