Stop

Just Stop.

Do Shit or Can It.

No Please.

And I won't thank you in the end.


A video is published about the assault of women in AMERICA, the feminist majority whom so many seem to think we need to put our trust in is by and large silent , or days behind the POC bloggers. No mention is made .

But there is little outrage there.

There is little understanding in how devastating the silence about violence to our lives can be ,

But of course the vagaries of medical insurance coverage are necessary to be brought out.

Of course BFP must tell you why her anger is HELPFUL?

So can I ask why you questioning is helpful?


That you would prioritize angry words at a concept of how a struggle is being handled over the very real material in front of your eyes

IS disgusting

and straight up Unacceptable.

Maybe you never been raided

Not for what you did.

But for who you are.

I have.

You see INS has touched my life in many ways.

It basically tanked my GPA senior year.

Made the only contact I've had with my father through fiber optic cable., and makes sure that my mother sleeps in my childhood bed so as not to feel alone in the large one.

Four armed men took one injured one out with guns drawn and terrified my mother. May have assaulted her.

She won't talk about it.

And today I hold my baby cousin Fine Tings on my lap, and after she leaves listen to how her mother gets beaten regularly and how we have to be afraid to call the cops cause they're still in probationary period and her grandmother weeps on the phone

And I'm trying desperately to figure out how to make the four cousins I just met understand how important it is the do better in school.


And try and shove it in the back of my mind that after we talked about it both me and mom slept for hours though we were not tired

There is no Shibboleth

BE bout it or don't I don't care.

America is not the holy ground, American women are not the holy vessels .

We come FROM not TO .

We come from our streets,and sands to be

In hopes that today we won't be punished

and tomorrow we will not be ignored.

America is the great destination because it took so much time making our homes,our lives, hand in hand with other vicious murdering colonizers, dictator and madmen places we could no longer live.

And you make no words when they call us illegal , in hopes that the silence will make us invisible, but ask that our words be measured, while your actions never are.

Just Stop

How can people fail to see what's right in front of their eyes? But that's America isn't it? If something isn't happening to me, it isn't real. It's just out there, or on the news. Unless I'm being hurt, it isn't real.

Jesus.
