I thought about my brother who loved basketball and idolized Kobe Bryant as a high-school athlete. It seems that the empathy of white people—and white women in particular—didn’t stretch that far until they were pushed to consider more than one dimension of his legacy.

So as always, my political commitments remain focused on Black girls and Black women because we’re really all we got.

Anyone who rejoices in someone’s death needs to get themselves in therapy ASAP. That’s about moral superiority and lack of empathy, which has more to do with you than with the person who died. It made me uncomfortable when XXXTentacion died and it makes me uncomfortable now.

I know it might seem radical or feminist, even, to rejoice in someone’s death who has harmed someone (or multiple people) in their lives. But it is possible to crouch callousness in theory and call it righteous, and that’s just not the feminist tradition I am apart of.

I know that we love being performative online and pretending as if we live in absolutes rather than grays, but this is real life. Who are you when you're not packaging feminism for consumption on the internet or trying to be woker than thou to increase your follower count?

I turned this thread into a very short piece for
@TIME. I am still working through so many thoughts about Kobe Bryant's legacy—as we all are. This is just a sliver of those thoughts, most of which I am still processing.https://time.com/5773151/kobe-bryant-rape-case-complicated-legacy …Prikaži ovu nit -
@tibartoletta and I spoke with@BBCR1 about Kobe Bryant's very complex legacy. Our conversation starts about 42 minutes into this broadcast.http://bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w172wrw0d1z1kbq …Prikaži ovu nit

If you can't also hold space for assault survivors who felt their own grief rise up again today, how is that any better? People are entitled to hold whatever pain they hold.

You are making two assumptions here: 1) that I am not also a survivor of sexual assault and 2) that I am not holding space for sexual assault survivors in this moment. We can do all of these things without being cruel to one another and calling it feminist or a form of allyship.

The bodies weren’t even collected or identified before the started posting about the past rape accusation. White Feminists are the most problematic parts of any movement. Whenever they show up I as a BW think twice cause I never trust their true motivations.

I am wrecked sad over Kobe Bryant’s passing. My high school son plays basketball and has for years idolized KB. There is much more to all of us than our mistakes. And for what it’s worth, my white women friends agree.
