Accountability for Black predators is not— and will never be—measured against how many white men got away with it.
That is not justice.
That is a deflection soaked in cowardice and betrayal.
If your standard is, “Well, the white man did it too,” then you are not seeking liberation—
you are begging for equality in harm.
You are asking to inherit some white man’s sickness.
And you are doing it at the expense of Black victims.
🛑 Let’s speak truth:
Black victims deserve justice. Full. Fierce. Unapologetic.
Just like we demand justice when a Black man is murdered in cold blood,
we should be raising hell when a Black woman, a Black girl, or a Black boy, or a Black man
is raped, beaten, manipulated, or terrorized—by anyone.
Sexual and domestic violence are not lesser crimes.
They destroy bodies.
They ravage minds.
They leave spiritual scars that Survivors spend a lifetime working to heal.
⚖️ If you want accountability for white perpetrators—fight. for. it.
Organize.
Protest.
Name names.
Burn down the damn system if you want to. (metaphorically speaking, of course)
But do not turn around and tell Black victims to shut up
because “the white man got away with it.”
That is not love.
That is not justice.
That is treachery in the face of truth.
🔥 If your so-called “liberation” requires silence from Black Survivors, then you’re not liberating us—you’re using us.
You’re saying:
“Take the hit for the race.”
“Hold the trauma.”
“Keep quiet, because his career matters more than your broken ribs and your sleepless nights.”
You’re saying:
“Black women are collateral damage in the revolution.”
And we are not. I assure you that we are not.
🗣️ Say it louder for the ones still whispering:
We deserve justice. Even when the abuser looks like us.
We deserve healing. Even when it costs your favorite’s legacy.
We deserve protection. Even when it’s inconvenient for your politics.
You do not love Black people if you only show up for them when they’re abusers abuse people.
You do not protect the community if you silence the wounded to shield the violent.
🖤 Our healing will not be paused. Our truth will not be delayed.
This time, we survive out loud.
This time, we burn the lie that protecting predators is protecting the race.
This time, we fight for the Black victims you were too afraid to face.
🔥 Affirmations for Black Survivors Who Deserve Justice, Not Silence
My pain is not a political inconvenience. It is real, it is righteous, and it deserves justice.
I will not be sacrificed to protect someone else’s image, status, or legacy.
I do not owe silence to any community that abandons me in my suffering.
My voice is sacred—even when it shakes, even when it disrupts.
There is nothing revolutionary about asking me to carry harm in silence.
I am not collateral damage. I am not disposable. I am not your scapegoat.
I deserve protection, healing, and respect—just like anyone else.
I will not shrink to keep the peace that never protected me.
I will not compare my right to justice to who “gets away with it.” I am not asking for revenge. I am claiming what I deserve.
I am a Survivor—not because I stayed silent, but because I lived through what they didn’t want to name.
I refuse to carry shame that was never mine to begin with.
My healing is not up for negotiation. It is my birthright.
I am allowed to speak the truth—even when it shatters myths and breaks illusions.
Protecting my peace is not betrayal. Protecting my abuser is.
I am not here to protect predators. I am here to protect myself. And that is holy.
💡 Our healing is not optional. Our justice is not negotiable.
Protecting Black people means protecting Black victims, too.
You cannot claim to love Blackness while silencing its wounded.
