reblog to save a life

My country’s literal revolution is happening right now but nobody cares bc it’s not impacting the US/Europe

I've noticed that a lot of people are doing whatever they can to not acknowledge that Toyin was murdered by a Black man. That she was the victim of Black men throughout her life.

But we need to acknowledge that sexist violence is real. That many people who support Black men or are even anti-police brutality more broadly still will casually abuse, assault, and even murder Black women.

Black women are under attack within our own community. Just as women of all races are under attack by the men in their communities.

But if BLM as a social movement is going to work out we need to hold our community to a higher standard and actively address, call out, and correct the violence Black men impart on Black women.

That starts with naming the problem. And "good" Black men need to take the most active part in addressing the problem because it's their acquaintances, their brothers, friends, cousins, etc who are friendly and in solidarity with them all while they abuse every Black woman around them other than their momma who are the problem.

Shoutout to all the girls who can’t afford the life styles and everything else they see on tumblr and Instagram. You don’t need anything materialistic to be worthy and you don’t need expensive make up and clothes to be seen as beautiful. You are beautiful and I love you.

In the midst of all of this people gloss over who filmed George, a young black girl named Darnella Frazier who is traumatized and been bullied ever since. Here is the description which was written by her mother and the GoFundMe is run by her:
