Questions For Accusers
I’ve been told all of my life that I want things to change too quickly. But why should I have to wait for people to respect my humanity? People have even “diagnosed” me with a mental illness that says wanting change too quickly is a sickness. I’ve been enslaved and dehumanized for 46 years without let up, how long is it supposed to take? It’s been happening to my entire community for HUNDREDS of years, again how long does it take.
Why is it that I am the one who is unstable for wanting my human rights respected, but those who abuse me are not? Why are the abusers allowed continue to abuse with impunity? Why would anyone allow this? Why would anyone accept it? Where is the sanity? It certainly doesn’t belong with those who place the blame on the target of abuse rather than the abuser. Even those trained to help victims of crime have said this more times than I could ever number, never about those they “accept” no, it’s only the most marginalized.
That’s the consequence of systemic oppression but I’m supposed to believe that it’s fake.
No thank you. I will continue to fight for my rights, my life, and those that I love. This is the right that I was born with, no one can take it from me. If you try, you will get my wrath. That’s not my sickness, it’s yours. No, that doesn’t make us the same, that makes me someone who values my life enough to fight for it. I don’t understand anyone who wouldn’t, then turn around and tell me that I am wrong for doing so. I have enough self esteem to value myself, don’t you?
People assume that targets of oppression have no self worth, but they never question the self worth of the person who stoop so low as to abuse someone who is already suffering. I’m supposed to trust these people? To listen to these people? To accept that leadership? To believe their guidance? That would certainly make me mentally unstable. A stable mind knows where to look for guidance, and it should be within yourself to your own inner compass first and foremost. Above all things. Most aren’t capable of this, and neither recognize it or understand it when they see it in others who are completely whole and self willed. But I’m supposed to water myself down because my wholeness intimidates those who can’t make themselves complete internally? Or to ensure that the most arrested developmentally can hold onto their delusions? No. Plain and simple.
The purge continues. Until my rights are respected ALL WILL BE REVEALED WITH NO PARTIALITY!
