just my observation about how the world got here.

I was just watching a TikTok with Tucker Carlson clutching his pearls about all this evil, depraved shit that is coming out and how greed and corruption by the most privileged has gotten us to this point. Now, I never listen to this guy. I never respond to anything he has to say cause he’s not worth my effort. But listening to him in this TikTok go on and on and on about how it’s the elites! They’re doing all of this stuff that is horrible for everybody and goes against what society acceptson as our societal norms and they don’t care about anybody else and they have been mistreating US. We just haven’t been aware of it and On and on and on and on, it was infuriating, but I gotta be really honest with you as a person of colour who has lived both in Canada and the United States and is hyper aware of both environments I had to respond and this is what I had to say:

“What many of you are not saying is that a segment of society has always been talking about this level of evil and corruption but we were called racebaiters. this shit is not new to black and brown people. They have have always known this evil and corruption was living in plain sight, they just also knew you would do nothing about it until you saw it happening to you or those in your community. The fight against WOKE that you all jumped on was the fight against this darkness and evil but you just thought it was about race. Race has nothing to do with it. It's pure greed and corruption disquised as yt supremacy which many of you were ok with until you found out the babies, little girls and boys are your skin tone. Now, now you are all disillusioned and confused becaue you are finally, finally waking up. YOU ARE NOW "WOKE". Welcome to the nightmare you have been ok with others enduring. Maybe now, the systems of privilege you have enjoyed can be torn down and rebuilt to benefit everyone and not just those that look like you. Maybe.”

come for me, don’t come for me, I really don’t have two flying f*cks to give. Like most women with melanin I’m f*cking done.

Carlson, whose step-mother was an heiress to Swanson food dynasty.
Who attended and was kicked out of multiple private schools.
Who has failed up over and over and over
Is worth over 50 million dollars.
Oh, and his son, Buckley, is Deputy Press Secretary to V P Vance.

Yeah, fuck him and all the other privileged assholes of his ilk.
