On Saving Those Not Worthy of Your Save

It's the year of someone's Lord 2025 and a whole bunch of y'all are still out here trying to "get through to" hateful, willfully ignorant bigots, hoping to convert them.

Oh, Bro, Broseph, Bro-ham.

Oh, Sister, Sis, Ma'am.

Oh, my friend, my compadre, my peoples.

Y'all gotta stop with the tryin' to save these people.

To paraphrase light-skinned Jermaine, they don't wanna be saved.

People are defending Diddy and Tory Lanez out here, and trying to shame and ridicule those they've harmed. You can't save anybody that deeply enmeshed in that level of misogynoir.

There's a whole bunch of [redacted] people mad that Black folx are happy about the Nottaway Plantation roasting 'til the meat fell off the bone who have the audacity to call it a historical landmark and say tasteless nonsense like, "How would you feel if Auschwitz burned down like this?" You think you're gonna save someone who spews something so simultaneously anti-Black and anti-semetic that it'll make your head spin off of your neck?

There are millions of people who have spent the last 12 years voting for this current administration, knowing damn well what they were backing. Many of them are gleeful about the harm y'all's president and his Dollar General Batman villains are doing to communities across this country, including their own communities. You can't save somebody whose hatred for others is so powerful that they're willing to fall on their own sword multiple times to justify their hatred.

The past 12+ years in this country have made it clear - explicitly clear - that it's time to leave some people behind. If you haven't pivoted already, consider this your notice to turn around and walk away from hateful people and their unflinching toxicity. Focus your energies on the folx in your life and community that need support, because those are the folx who deserve your help and care.

Everybody ain't worth savin', regardless of their relation or degrees of separation from you and yours.

Hate doesn't deserve so much of your love.

This Week's Opening Thought: May 12, 2025

This week's opening thought: Two things that I can always rely on with people of pallor is that 1) they will always say/do the quiet part out loud, and 2) they will make up any narrative they can to "protect" their own.

Melanated refugees seeking asylum for safety reasons? Nope. Y'all's president placed an indefinite suspension on refugee resettlement in the U.S. because he insists that they're "eating the dogs and cats" or MS-13 or flooding in from the insane asylums and mental institutions and harming *cough* white *cough* U.S. Americans. Not true, but when has that stopped people of pallor in power?

So, no refugees are currently welcome in the U.S....except for select refugees of pallor, of course. Case in point: a plane full of fragile-ass pale South Afrikaners, descended from Dutch people who subjugated, enslaved, harmed, oppressed, and killed Black South Africans for a damn generation, landed in D.C. today and received a warm welcome.

Now you might be asking yourself, "Are they in danger?" followed by "Why are they getting an exemption when so many people in need aren't?" And, on the surface, that's a solid pair of questions. But if you're asking yourself those questions, you're likely a person of pallor who has somehow missed how white supremacy works, especially when people of pallor are scared that their power is slipping away in an ever-changing populace that ain't playin' their colonizer games anymore.

According to y'all's president, these South Afrikaners are "victims of unjust racial discrimination." Mind you, the average household of pallor in South Africa owns 20 times the wealth of the average Black household, according to the Review of Political Economy, an international academic journal, but they are definitely "victims of unjust racial discrimination." You see, South Africa passed a land law earlier this year that aims to make it easier for the state to expropriate land in the public interest. Although no land has been seized by South Africa's government, the South Afrikaners are freaking out and in pure victim mode, mainly because they "own" a whole lot of stolen land they've "inherited" from their crappy ancestors, people who had no right to it in the first place. Hence y'all's president, likely at the prompting of Elon Musk but also because he sees dollar signs and pallor-derived generational wealth, making a large, concerted effort to resettle wealthy South Afrikaners in the United States.

So let's take a moment to break this down, shall we?

Black South Africans who have a right to their land are the villains because they want to take steps to expropriate their land. Not all of it, mind you, but probably enough to take care of Black South Africans and narrow the wealth and ownership gaps. And these dusty South Afrikaners are "resilient", "victims," and "oppressed."

It's enough to make you want to take a damn nap.

Pallor "protecting" pallor.

So predictable and weak.

This Week's Opening Thought: May 5, 2025

This week's opening thought: Shiloh Hendrix went viral for calling a 5-year-old Black boy with autism the N-word. After being recorded last week apparently admitting that she had hurled the racist slur at a 5-year-old Black child in a park and getting rightfully dragged and dogwalked online, Shiloh's racist ass started a crowdfunding campaign on the MAGA-friendly crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo. On the crowdfunding site, Shiloh said she was trying to raise $1 million to deal with what she calls “great turmoil” in her life following the incident. Her plea for help from the top of her crowdfunding page:

"My name is Shiloh and I have been put into a very dire situation. I recently had a kid steal from my 18-month old son's diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was. Another man, who we recently found out has had a history with law enforcement, proceeded to record me and follow me to my car. He then posted these videos online which has caused my family, and myself, great turmoil. My SSN has been leaked. My address, and phone number have been given out freely. My family members are being attacked. My eldest child may not be going back to school. Even where I exercise has been exposed."

First things first, no one doxxed this woman. That's a lie. Her whole recollection of the events is a lie, but you likely knew it was when you read the blurb. But guess what? Lying means nothing when you're a person of pallor, a race with a culture of wading in the waters of a never-ending victim complex. So, "poor" Shiloh screamed out for help from her fellow white supremacists to "relocate for her and her family's safety." And guess what?

As of Monday afternoon, Shiloh's crowdfunding page showed her as having raised $680,427, because, as many of them have alluded to after donating money to her campaign, "She did nothing wrong," and "they have to protect their own!" But here's the kicker, y'all: SHE'S ENGAGED TO A BLACK MAN.

Yep. Out here just callin' people's babies the N-word and takin' MAGA money while marryin' into the very culture she hates.

You can't make this sh-- up, y'all.

Y'all are a whole mess, people of pallor. A whole mess and a manipulative, unrepentant threat to everyone, including other people of pallor.

What In The Hell Is Wrong With This Country?: April 7, 2025, Edition

In today's edition of “What in the Hell is Wrong With This Country,” also knows as "People of Pallor Be Doin' The Most.:

A damn bouncy castle. 😑

Megan Gillman, a woman of pallor who considers herself a life coach and baby shaman (side note: that is some of the whitest sh-- I've heard in a minute) went viral in all the wrong ways yesterday on Threads after making the decision to write a review for her very first protest.

Yep, you read that right. Megan wrote a Yelp-style review FOR A PROTEST.

You see, Megan showed up to one of the Hands Off rallies this past weekend with her child in tow and decided to review the experience by stating her pale-ass child was "bored." Megan's suggestion?

"I don't think it would be too hard to arrange a bouncy castle or something..."

And this is exactly why y'all are on your own this go-round, easily-sunburned colonizer brethren. Y'all remain a part of the problem, even when you call yourselves not being a part of the problem.

Megan had an opportunity to be a role model for her child, to show them what it means to care about others. She could've engaged with her child, explaining what was going on and the significance of the moment. Hell, she coulda left that lil' mofo at home. But nope.

Megan wants to make sure any protests in the future consider having a bouncy house on hand, in case people or children "get bored."

Wouldn't want to bore you with activism and civil rights now, would we?

Megan has been gettin' dragged and read to filth, and rightfully so. But this kind of nonsense is why your "activism" means nothing, people of pallor. Y'all ain't about that life. Y'all are about capturing pictures and videos to show your friends. You're about reposting melanated voices then doing nothing those voices are telling y'all to do. And the moment you're even a little tired of fighting? You fall into your privilege and walk away, feeling like you've done your part when you've done nothing.

This is why you're on your own now. This is why we don't trust y'all.

A damn bounce house.

The caucasity.

This Week's Opening Thought: March 31, 2025

This week’s opening thought: It always amuses me when I call people of pallor in or out for their white supremacist nonsense, and they tell me that I’ve “disappointed them” or that they “thought I was different than the others.”

😂

Oh, you sad, silly, naive, easily sunburned child.

You thought my closet of novelty t-shirts and my wealth of Golden Girls, comic books, and pop culture knowledge and references meant I was “one of the good ones” who would “cherish your comfort,” didn’t you?

🤣

Whew, chile! You wild! Stop making me laugh so hard! You gon’ make me spill my pampelmousse LaCroix!

Y’all really be out here thinking there’s only two kinds of Black people: the ones that make you feel like you’re safe from discomfort or accountability and every other Black person.

Sheesh.

Don't let the Breakfast at Tiffany’s tees and my love for Bea Arthur and Wonder Woman fool you. I am still Black. Blackity-BLACK-BLACK-BLACK. And I’m a Black man from Detroit, dude. And not one of them suburbs outside of Detroit that loves to claim the name - I’m talkin’ about DETROIT Detroit. I am so not the one.

Just because I’m a chill-ass magical f—-g unicorn with an eclectic palate and splendid personality doesn’t mean I’m a “safe” Black person for people of pallor to be toxic around. You can and will get impaled with my horn if and when you spout off with some of that white supremacist nonsense that shows your unwillingness to evolve, learn, grow, and stop harming Black bodies.

And I’m not the only one ready to check you.

The overwhelming majority of Black people don’t fit into your “safety” criteria or your stereotype box. We can like and enjoy what you consider “white hobbies and interests” and still be Black as hell and not interested in your comfort. And we do it all with style and seasoning.

“I’m disappointed?”

😂

“I thought you were different?”

🤣

That white supremacy be havin’ y’all out here judging every Black book by its cover, huh? Better quit doing that before you catch some figurative or literal hands!
