I didn’t go to bed till 4:30 am last night, because I was crying. Poussey was the first and only representation I have ever seen of myself.
A black lesbian and they decide to fucking kill her.
But not only that, but to build up her relationship with Soso, to make her happy seconds before.
Having flashbacks for the fucking cop that killed her. Make us pity HIM and feel sorry for HIM because it was an accident.
She was my representation and you killing her off to “educate” fucking white people is fucking disgraceful.
Like the words of me and my people aren’t enough that you have to kill a fucking 90/100lb black girl in the same way of Eric Garner to make white/straight people think “hmm maybe black and/or gay people are being killed hmm”
And so soon after the Pulse shootings too. Not even a week later. They couldn’t had moved the release date?
I’m not going to watch the last episode. I know what happens. They leave her body on the ground. Can’t even treat em with respect in death.
They go around killing us on TV then turn around and kill us in real life. And you know what. I’m fucking done with it. And I’m fucking scared
I feel terrible that you’re scared. This shouldn’t be happening. This really needs more conversation, needs to be treated no differently than what happened with Lexa, et al.
It’s even more frustrating considering so many people speaking out on this are getting the same BS Clexa fans got after Lexa’s death. ‘It’s just television’ ‘It’s just a character’ ‘It’s just fiction’ ‘yay the bitch is dead.’
So much fucking ignorance and so few willing to learn.
