Monday's Opening Thought: July 26, 2021

This week’s opening thought: If you’re Black I will always be rooting for your success and joy…right up until you show me you’re anti-Black. And when I say anti-Black I’m talking about the intersections of Blackness and homophobia, transphobia, ableism, sexism, and classism. You don’t get to pick and choose whose Blackness is valid to you under your umbrella of biases, stereotypes, and phobias and still claim to be pro-Black.

I don’t root for the success and joy of openly hateful people - melanin be damned.
