Stop over reacting, this is your mental health, no one else is having this strong of a reaction, you’re not seeing reality, you’re a black American not an immigrant so you’re safe, other minorities are not afraid, what makes you so special that you think you’re a target?

I’ve spent the last week being told these things and more by people who have admitted they’re unafraid because they’re white. These same people that I thought had my back and said they understood for the last 20 years. I’m literally questioning if I should prepare for the worst without my family or check myself into a mental hospital because everyone around me is telling me to wait and see what the white nationalists do. There is no imminent threat to myself.

This whole scenario is solidifying my belief that we’re just alone in the world and if you’re dark skinned no one is going to protect you here. My white family members and friends are calling me one of the good ones every fucking day but think because of different wording it doesn’t mean the same goddamn thing. I’m so fucking pissed and disaappinted. I’m waiting to die or get arrested while everyone else is going to Starbucks and talking about future vacation plans.

To be fair, so is the road to normalcy.

Change a few words around and this meme could be about Q-anon people during the height of the COVID pandemic yelling about FEMA camps. Or, it could be about people freaking out about the supposed 2012 “Maya apocalypse”.

Just because someone is reacting strongly doesn’t mean they’re necessarily right. Although, in this case, the fascism in the US is pretty obvious to everyone.
