So all the grief discussions

[05heel]

On these boards, FB, etc. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm irritated by them. People are breaking down over the fact that they now have to lie in the bed that they've been making for decades. Centuries, even. I simply don't care to hear it, and I don't feel sorry for them. I've seen toddlers with better coping skills.

This is unkind of me, but whatever. These are white tears on a level that I've never experienced.

I actually haven't seen it too much on facebook. But yes definitely here.

I haven't turned on the news at all though, but I heard there were protests in portland? I can only assume that was a bunch of white people?
It is very interesting to see it all unfold.

I'm probably following too many crunchy yoga blogs, but there are lots of posts about self care, recentering your soul, and finding the warrior within. Lol. It's all rather amusing.

I'm not here for no white girl tears. Not last year. Not yesterday. Not today. Not any day in the future ever.
The need to move on with that shit the hell away from me.

That CEP thread is really pissing me off.  I'm going to stay out of it though, because I'm ::this:: close to getting thrown off that board as it is.

All the hand wringing of, "how did it get like this?!"

Um, ...it's always like this.

If I read about one more basic white girl crying into her PSL about racial and gender inequality, my head is going to fucking explode.

I can value that a lot of people have passion for their countrymen and when they are wronged you feel wronged as a whole, however it's hard to really grasp the true pain of it when it can NEVER affect YOU as a person because you never have to experience it. So their compassion feels incomplete and almost I guess the word I'd use is immature/childish. Like when white people try to empathize with me I think of my son saying "oh no mommy you have a boo, be more careful next time ok" and he goes back to chugging his juice and throwing around the Legos that I literally just stepped on.

I'm so glad I don't have Facebook! And the protests I have been to are mostly poc.

The only posts that have really annoyed me are here on gbcn. I guess I don't really believe they are in bed crying barely able to get one foot in front of the other.

Oh this is the one part I definitely believe. The echo chamber is real. They really thought she was going to wipe the floor with him and then she lost. They did not even think it was going to be close. 

And I guess I am the only one who thinks that Sanders could have beat Trump.

ETA: and they still believed Clinton was going to win by a large margin when POC had been saying over a year that she was falling short on many categories with non-white women. But they ignored it just like her and her team. Too bad so sad.
