We will openly discuss my use of the words “mental illness” and primarily, the accurate descriptor of “retardation” as A KEY COMPONENT to Whiteness, the nazi in office, and to describe the EXTREME racism and misogynoir that I have to face daily as a Black woman.
The average IQ in the US is 89. Retardation starts at 75. People who cannot read above a 6th grade level voted in a felon. We will no longer pretend THESE REAL ISSUES are not a factor in why there are Nazis in office.

I will stand on it. Retardation is not a slur. It is a medical definition used to describe intellectual disability. It can be used as a pejorative, it can be weaponized to insult. that will never be questioned. But it’s not a slur.
N****r is a slur.
You will stop policing Black womens words and focus on bigger issues.

@ErickaSimone President Obama disagreed and passed Rosa’s law to improve treatment of Americans with developmental disabilities by federal law. The medical community also vehemently disagrees w/ you.
Weird, cruel hill to die on, but OK, here’s your unfollow and block, and I don’t give a fuck what you pretend I’m blocking you for. You won’t be policing me for speaking up for a disadvantaged community that includes a beloved member of my immediate family.

I just started following you today and am listening. I know you speak with experience and I agree.
Our whole world feels like an enforcement of hierarchies. It is too easy to dismiss the ableism hierarchy simply by making the race hierarchy the defining issue.
Cultural abuse is cultural abuse, no matter what justification they use for it.
I don't think taking a stand is exclusive to any one disenfranchised community. Lots of people are living in real threat right now.

@lucyruthe people are more concerned about my words than they are the real threat the issue is causing. It’s rooted in antiblackness and I need it to stop.

@ErickaSimone @lucyruthe i want to preface this by saying that you can say or believe what you want, but: "IQ" is literally rooted in antiblackness. as a concept it was invented to uphold white supremacy and "prove" that Black people were inferior. it is inextricably tied to scientific racism and eugenics.
a far more likely explanation for both racism and the "black/white IQ gap" is environmental factors. racism proliferates by being accepted. "IQ" increases with status. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence

@trwnh @lucyruthe please stop playing reply guy and assuming that I don’t know the full racist background of IQ/MENSA propaganda and historical racism in all standardized testing. Your assumptions are bigoted and against, based IN misogynoir.
Please go focus on getting the fucking nazi out of office. Your failure to prioritize that is why he is there. Your inability to keep this energy for your MAGA cousins but have time to mansplain basic shit to me is racist. Leave me alone.
