He’s so entitled! He’s so egotistical! He’s so full of himself! I’m not telling you anything I think. I think crazier shit than this. I’m telling you what you have told me. I have read your book. I know for sure I have read your book, I interviewed you on tape. I have all of your information. It’s mine now.
You have nothing.
I’m not telling you what I think. I’m telling you what Audre Lorde thinks. Audre Lorde said that the master’s tools cannot dismantle the master’s house. I believe her!
“When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.”
“If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive”.
I believe her! I do not think she’s right in some abstract sense. I think she’s right. So I’m going to behave like she’s right. You should too, unless you want to believe I’m an entitled white man who doesn’t know shit. Then fuck me and fuck Audre Lorde.
“Compromise is a coffin nail”
I believe her! I believe a black, queer woman who lived during worse than anything I’ve ever endured. Instead of sitting with my privilege as an entitled white man, and just going along with everyone, I am listening to Audre Fucking Lorde. I believe her! I believe her, only!
So Fuck You if you disagree with her. My entitled white male ass is not going to just sit here and be incredibly comfortable during the next Trump administration while everyone else burns. I’m going to be fine. While your kids burn.
In 2050, fuck, I’m too old now, I will be too old to give a shit if 2060 sucks.
Why in God’s name do you really think those old fucks really care about 2030?
