Synopsis

“As is clear in history, voices come along, and they mingle in our midst till someone hears and recognizes it as prophetic and important.” -Michele Hemenway Pullen “Even when she whispers, people listen. She has the uncanny ability to speak in a language that everyone, no matter their background, income, or race, can comprehend. She speaks the language of humanity” – Robin G. Dear White Women, It’s Not You. It’s Me. I’m Breaking Up With You! offers commentary on Race, White Feminism, Allyship, and Intersectionality. “I realized that Black women were just your plaything, something to entertain you on Twitter and Facebook. We were your live and in color resistance rom-com Black best friend. We were your “hey, girl,” “yaassssssss,” and high fives. We were your sassy finger snap, neck roll, and “Auntie.” We were the face of your resistance memes as we “reclaimed our time.” Black women made the days pass faster until you could get your next Resistance fix. Until the next march, the next hashtag, the next knitted hat, Black women were your entertainment.Black women were your hidden lover. Someone you cherished online, cloaked in the anonymity of social media with no real commitment. God forbid your racist boyfriend or husband knew you were cheating on him with Black women telling the truth. We were your 2 am social justice booty call. After you got what you wanted from us, you would find your way back home to White patriarchy and supremacy, hoping that you didn’t smell of your online Black woman resistance lover. Black women were just the trendy thing, and just like Louboutins or bedazzled fanny packs, White women love to possess what is trendy.” Black Women are tired. The arc of justice is carved into the backs of Black Women. Today is the day for you to take a stand. When you hear the bells of injustice ringing, do not ask for whom the bell tolls? The bell is tolling for you!
