Twitter jail

article image placeholderUploaded by @tooqueertokaren
I recently followed some women on Twitter, and then I wasn't on for a few days, and then suddenly my phone was blown up. I accompanied first in a while, so I didn't do anything. But when I checked later, there was a situation and my account got locked down. I got put in Twitter jail when I read it, basically accused me of hate speech and that I was being racist. And I was like, what did I do?

🤔

But then again, I don't know if this is the case, because I see half of my people on Twitter referring to themselves self referentially as a derogatory term. So maybe that was a preemptive strike. Those individuals had posed upon you because they didn't want to eventually hear slurs of other variety coming from you. In any event, Twitter is the last place you go to perform free speech. It's more you have to pat people on the back and tell them how great they are

Perceived offenses, Karens being Karen, words

We could be saying the same thing, but I don't think much of my people yeah, I actually have been using Twitter during this process of my anti racist journey, which is something that I decided to go deeper into as I turned 50 and as I started digging. Profound stuff has been happening. So I'm just emoting and telling my story. Like I said, I know why people have perceived offenses and injuries and everything being Gen X from the tracked houses. Privilege, privilege

Thinking a lot of things. Talking on podcast about them.

So making stuff up, I find isn't necessary. But I actually discussed this on my other channel, what I wanted to see happen. Like. If we're looking for fairness. If we're looking for justice. The first step should I just say it. That with institutionalized systemic racism and the school to prison pipeline and the prisons being on old plantations and the prison is named after the owners and that there's money to be made in locking up

Anyway yeah, I guess what I planned on doing was sharing my story because I have a theory that in order to really see the suffering of others you have to have suffered and process it because then how can you notes self not see and want to do something about it? There is this weird law and I think it's avoid people that I've suffered so you should suffer too which is illogical when if you suffered you would want to teach people to stop it next one coming

So yeah, I was thinking of coming out of the gate and just saying this is what I see happening in the country and this is an insanity and it needs to stop. And then I'm like, wait, why would anybody care what I have to say are my opinion unless they know my story? Because if you know my story, then you'll know who I am. But then anybody who's real on this level would it, I think, automatically know

And any black folk who want to support also. But the extra resources then would go to a scholarship. So that way any black folk can join with no cost to them. Because I don't work with money, so I don't have any to give to cover them. But there would be support and that in doing that, people being in the different levels that then they could go to this other area

Being an Island unto myself in the midst of the cult of White America and what I would do to ensure a safe space for Black Folk who are interested

But my intention, I would say I would never. But again, why people don't trust me. It goes against who I am in my beliefs to pass judgment or tell somebody that they're wrong to gaslight and tell black folks who are open and sharing their story to invalidate it anyway, I'd be one client. It'd be like? Yes, I hear you
