Dear White People, Here's Your Reminder That Black People Are Not Your Mule

As the country is grappling with the leaked Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, increasing legislation against LGBTQ+ people, and the gutting of voting rights, Black folks are simply trying to survive an America that continuously threatens our very existence.

These same legislative changes will also have ramifications on non-Black communities across all demographics and identity lines. Despite the number of white people and non-Black people of color these changes will affect, Black people are still expected to be front line soldiers in the fight against oppression, while those in other groups sit on the sidelines demanding us to be their savior.


For Black folks, protesting has been an essential part of any change that has happened in this country. For centuries, Black folks have mobilized time and time again against an oppressive society that has deemed us non-deserving of equity or equality with white people. Despite this, we have always found space for the protection of others within movements, while historically seeing white folks and non-Black people of color ignore our plight.

can some one show me whaere any voting rights have been "gutted"?
