Someone tells me @susiebright is tweeting about racism. I'll never forget the way she defended Hustler Magazine's racist attacks against me.

When I have really short hair, as I did in 2005, people sometimes assume I'm real light skin black. Larry Flynt was one of them.
-
Flynt commissioned countless columns and cartoons against me with exaggerated black features.
-
In Hustler cartoons in 2005, I was made to look like an African indigenous caricature. With dicks in my mouth.
@susiebright caped for them. -
One day, I'll break those cartoons out. I still have those issues of Hustler in print. And I still remember everyone who stood by Flynt.
-
It was one of the scariest moments of my life. Hustler is massive and has readers who will literally hunt you the fuck down.
-
My boss had to hire a fucking bodyguard because of the death threats against me. I was terrorized.
@susiebright stood by Hustler against me. -
And AGAIN: I was pretty fucking young to deal with all this shit.
@susiebright was a grown woman, and she took a stand against me. -
It made me learn that some white women really will side with a corporate porn magazine making racist attacks against a girl of color.
-
I mostly haven't even talked about this shit for ten years because it was that traumatic. But yeah, maybe I'll break out the images.
-
Maybe I won't though. They're heartbreaking.
