I have gone from extreme sadness to paralyzingly fear. I am looking for anger to give me a temporary boost of strength and energy and I can’t find it.

He raped them.

I don’t think it will have the same impact. White people are only outraged because these are white women. He will probably gain supporters.

You have written a lot of words for someone that doesn’t care about it.

What the hell is Taylor’s spaces? Insisting Taylor is ‘leading’ (????) Serena is weird as fuck.

Nothing in the story indicates Serena is in Taylor’s squad either. WTF does that even mean?

Oh my god! Thank you! Discussions of black women’s hair here drives me nuts. I wish more black people would not let white people bait them into discussing us as a monolithic. Black women have different views and feelings about everything, including their hair.

People get really insecure whenever this topic comes up.

Microaggressions can manifest as outright racism, but I understand the point you were going for.

The hand wringing would have been endless.

Partly because he is white. Can you imagine if a black or brown was going around sexually assaulting white women anyone would be laughing it off?
