You Played Yourself: Tarana Burke

You may have seen tweets I've made some time ago about Tarana Burke. One in particular was about her creating one "Hell" of a tool against Black men. She isn't a sista to me, even if she believes she's a sista and doing good for the Black community. She isn't doing a damn thing except amplifying the target straight Black men already have on us. She won't turn the heat on the White culprits, and she hasn't even put her so-called attacker out there from what I've seen. Why is that?

False claims can be followed up by lawsuits, so that's something that comes to mind.

I don't want rapists to get away with rape. Get a rape kit done if its actually rape, and turn up the heat on the people in charge processing those kits so they actually do it. Turn up the heat on the judges, prosecutors, and the jury so the rapists don't walk. 9 times out of 10 the Black ones won't walk. How many of these non-Black women that Tarana rally with actually stand with her and Amber Phillips against White perpetrators? They'll rally for ALL Black men, while the actual White culprits get votes, White ones get to walk because the judges don't want to fuck up their life.

They have no problem fucking up the lives of innocent Black men, and she doesn't appear to have any objections. I know Tarana Burke doesn't care about the White ones, I've heard her say similar. It may sound like something commendable to focus on the Black community in that regard, but its bullshit. She's just amplifying the target we already have on us for just being Black men, and there are non-Black people who have no objections to our men being the focus. Multiply that by two when a White woman can play the damsel in distress against a Black man.

Now she feels used? Get all the way the fuck out. That's what happens when you align yourself with people who do give a fuck about you. Prime example of undeserved loyalty. Prime example. They used her and her movement, as a weapon and left her ugly ass out in the cold. Alyssa Milano would be no where near this fool if there were nothing to gain. She played herself.
