On Hate, Bigotry, The Hold They Have on People, and Not Having Hobbies or Interests

I often think about the amount of energy that goes into being an absolutely hateful person. Like, think about how much time hateful people spend ruminating about communities and groups they hate. To hate someone based on their skin color, non-Christian religious beliefs, gender identity, gender expression, ethnocultural heritage...and to devote copious amounts of time - to devote chunks of your lifetime - to harassing and attacking said communities and groups in every space you can find...

You ain't got NOTHING else to do?

No interests, hobbies, or passions outside of your hatred for others?

Like, there are folx out there right now literally spending thousands of hours targeting folx who are minding their business, living their lives, doing nothing to them and for what? What do they have to show for it, outside of successfully fomenting their unwarranted phobias and isms? It's not like they're getting any joy out of it. It's not filling a void in their lives, or giving them a leg up on anyone, or making their lives better. Studies have shown that it's not even providing a momentary satisfaction for them when they do it.

What's the point, other than to live your life as an antagonist that thinks you're better than others?

They don't even realize that their insecurities are on display every time they do what they do, and that we all have to live with the fallout of their unwillingness to unpack their sh-- with a therapist.

Think about how preposterous and useless it is to dedicate so much of your time and energy to attacking trans folx, Black and Brown folx, communities of color, queer communities, non-Christian folx, who ain't even thinkin' about you.

You could be building boats in bottles or doin' needle point but instead you out here trolling people for hours on social media or going out of your way to be in a space with people you claim to not want to be around.

What a waste of time and life.

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.

On "Restoring the Master Race," Gold Medals, and Child Rearin'

Me, watching y'all's president and his cronies try to bribe people of pallor into having more children with $5,000 checks and gold medals.

Image description: A brown teddy bear, wearing a green turtleneck and blue overalls, is giving the viewer a side-eye.

And people of pallor, before you say, "They're trying to get all of us to reproduce", y'all know damn well this "incentive" ain't geared toward Black, Brown, Indigenous, or melanated folx of any kind. They want y'all to "restore the master race" while still doing as much as they can to take away your - all of our - reproductive rights.

So gon' 'head - go have some government "sponsored"/forced-by-the-fragile-aryan-patriarchy unmelanated babies for y'all's president. Gon' now! Go ahead! What's stoppin' you? Oh, you don't want children, don't want more children, or can't afford to have children/more children?

But he's offering you a $5,000 check and a gold medal!

I mean, your children aren't going to have access to healthcare, daycare, fully-funded support programs that support their early development, vaccines, or human rights in general but you'll get a one-time check...that'll be used up in 30 days because having children isn’t a low-cost proposition. But you'll still have your gold medal, so that's something, right? You can probably pawn that, because y'all's president ain't gonna be helping you take care of all these kids he's trying to incentivize you to create!

So gon' 'head, get out there, and do your part to make [The United States of] America great again, people of pallor!

May all your condoms be expired and the odds in your favor!

On The Spectrum and Fake Empathy

So...let me speak on this one time, mainly because I realized that I've talked about it everywhere else but here:

If you heard what RFK Jr. said about autism and you didn't find yourself infuriated, scared, and ready to stand up for people in your life and community, it says a lot about how you're deciding to be "present" in the moment right now.

It speaks volumes about how performative your "allyship" is in moments of grave danger. It is an indictment of how you view Black and Brown lives. It's shows how you view people with disabilities. And it wipes away you showing up at those Hands Off protests a few weekends ago.

Now, some of y'all are gonna read that and be like, "It can't simultaneously be all of that, Pharoah." But, you see, it can and is ALL OF THAT. Past precedent, established over hundreds of years, has shown us time and again that it is all of those things. Those of you who say it can't be are choosing to be highly uneducated in the ways of oppression and refuse to see how picking and choosing what you care about to feed your "good person" complex is a key component of white supremacist culture. And real talk?

Ain't nobody got time for your apathy and discomfort with things you feel don't impact your life poorly disguised as empathy. Lives are at stake.

History has shown us that when dangerous, uneducated people are given power and control over any aspect of the populace, they more often than not create an even more dangerous set of precedents than they inherited. RFK Jr. and the deceased brain worm chillin' in his head should've never been given dominion over the health and well-being of the country, but because 60% of men of pallor, 53% of women of pallor, and 50% of Latine and Hispanic men voted for y'all's president, we now have a man who staged a bear homicide out here saying inaccurate, derisive, and dangerous statements about autism that will endanger the lives of millions of people.

I refuse to reiterate anything that man and his parelaphostrongylus tenuis said, but we should all be able to see that his hateful words masquerading as "expert" and "empathic" language are going to cause so much unnecessary harm, sterotyping, and prejudice for millions of people. He clearly doesn't understand autism in any way, shape, or form, yet here we are with the safety of millions in the hands of a person who refuses to believe decades of legitimate research and thinks he knows something when he has shown us time and again he knows nothing.

This transcends race, gender identities, socioeconomic statuses, and any other protected or non-protected class you might want to throw into the pot. But you know what?

EVERY FORM OF OPPRESSION DOES.

But y'all don't hear me, though.

And the wild thing is that most of y'all have autistic folx in your lives.

Just as wild is the fact that a whole grip of y'all are undiagnosed autistic folx who voted for what's about to happen.

Well, may the odds be forever in your favor, with yo' fake ass.

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.
