      If you're a white ally or whatever, please don't hijack this conversation, point any fingers, etc. You can just kick back. Thanks.

      I posted the Harvard rejection letter which I thought was hilarious. But now, after a friend reached out to me about it, I'm re-thinking it.

      For starters, yes, I know the letter is fake. I never for a minute assumed that Harvard would write a rejection letter like that.

          But I didn't consider the actual author, who is a white teenager who actually applied to Harvard in real life, too.

          This white teen made up this rejection letter for her school newspaper—and is now upset that it's gone viral since she also applied IRL.

          You know what's actually upsetting? The fact that this white teen created a rejection letter solely based on black culture and stereotypes.

          And you know what's also upsetting? The fact that non-black people of color like me are eating that shit up right now.

          This is one the ways in which anti-blackness works: we non-black people of color consume stereotypes like it's a joke. We find it funny.

          I might go ahead and remove the Harvard rejection letter from my timeline. But for now, I'm going to leave it for reference.

          More than 40 people have RTd the Harvard rejection letter form my TL. Many of them are nbpoc. I hope you RT what I'm tweeting now, too.

          @aurabogado I assumed the “rejected student” was white & trying to stand out from the crowd. It had a white person trying to act black feel.
