Millions Of Black People Showed Up—
Last November.
When we told y’all we sittin out of protests, we meant it. No matter what you say or label us, WE ARE NOT PROTESTING. Every protest footage I see I look for us, and it’s like playing Where Is Waldo🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
We stay on business, we stay on code.
I find it INCREDIBLY disrespectful for other people—who dont understand (and dont care to understand) our history—to DEMAND we leave our homes after betraying our solidarity. Look at the ones who ARE fighting for you. White peoples be out here. I see y’all. Gone head, nah😏 I’ll just go ahead and say it: Im seeing a ton of accountability from this particular community especially🤷🏾♀️
Now of course, you got MAGA out here, but I think theyre now outnumbered cuz the ones who didnt vote last year are now hella mad and fired up to fight back. MAGA is also defecting. We’ll be supporting y’all from the sidelines. We on the bench. We are the “guys in the chair.” 😂😂😂But I do ask, don’t use these moments to fight for “those days when everything was normal and we could be quietly racist.” Im writing to the Latino community, too. Y’all got SERIOUS issues regarding the inclusion of dark-skinned, afro-textured people in the Latino community, and the ones who are a deeper beige are also treated coldly. I know things, chile💅🏾
No one is supporting you so you can go back to treating people that way on the low. We’re fighting for solidarity, inclusion, justice, diversity, and equality.
I mean…right? Thats what I thought we were fighting for…?👀
So yes, to all those calling me racist for resting, feel free to browse through these pics and others so you can understand and feel the CONCLUSION that Black people dont care and will not be moved by your demands to step outside. We are resting and sitting out of protests until WE say it’s time to move. Period.

In recent movements for justice and equality, the participation of Black individuals in protests has been a hot topic. While some members of the community stay engaged, others have chosen to prioritize their peace and rest, emphasizing the importance of mental health and solidarity. This complex situation reflects the ongoing historical struggles and the unique challenges that Black individuals face within societal movements, especially concerning alliances with other communities such as Latinos. It highlights critical discussions about race, identity, and the necessity for inclusivity regarding darker-skinned individuals within these intersecting identities. Moreover, protests are not just about physical presence; they require understanding and respect for the experiences and backgrounds of all involved. Struggles for inclusion and justice are ongoing, and such discussions are essential for building a more equitable society. The notion of resting as a form of resistance is powerful, allowing for reflection and strategy rather than promoting a mere numbers game in protests. It's crucial for discussions about activism to consider the voices of those who choose to step back, shedding light on the importance of community solidarity in the fight against systemic issues.
Who’s mad? Like why? The Black Community has been fighting for basic freedoms since y’all got shipped here—rudely and without consent, I might add. It’s time for you all to rest. And it’s past time for the “white” race to stand up and say enough. (I put white in quotes because there is no such thing as race. It’s just a way to keep us divided and conquered.) Keep resting and let me know if you need some snacks and beverages.
