Time and time again I wonder- why are we never included from the start?

Because I really wanna ask y’all this, and this is for everyone who reads this post: Who are you to speak on our experience? Who are you to speak on our struggle? 

I’m real tired of seeing white simblrs start some rant with “I’m not racist and I’m sorry if I accidentally do/say something offensive! We should do better!!! POC please educate me!!!!” And then proceed to talk about some other beef they have with the community. I see y’all, getting in your woke points without actually doing anything helpful.

This isn’t about any one person or post. It’s not even just about the post I’ve seen tonight. It’s about every single time some anon hops into someone’s inbox with some stupid accusation and instead of hitting delete of block y’all make a spectacle, starting a new round of “drama”. And then everyone chimes in with their two cents, and then other vague post about the “toxic community” and then you all delete it in a day or two and move on.

There is not a day in my life that goes by that I don’t deal with racism. I cannot go outside without facing microaggressions or outright aggressions, I cannot go on the internet without seeing violently explicit videos of another black person getting beaten or killed. So when I see everyone getting all fired up again and I know that it’ll be old news by Friday, I get angry. I get that this is a “safe/happy space” for a lot of people, I really do. But I don’t get to have that. I don’t get to forget about racism, ever. I don’t get to move on from the drama of the week.

I genuinely do not care about this berry community issue. I do not consider myself part of any sub community of the overall sims community. I mainly post berry sims for TS4 and regular sims for TS3. I have friends I talk to on here and discord. I have people I don’t interact with on here, not because of whatever beef others have going on, but because they’ve said or done something that made me uncomfortable. The racism in the berry community is the same racism in the entire sims community. We need to address this as a whole, not nitpick who does what worse. 

I’m not saying white people shouldn’t speak up. It’s good to see other people actually care but please stop acting like you’re the authority on racism. I certainly can’t speak for every POC and you especially can’t. Stop asking for us to educate you, you’re already on the internet, use it. And for fucks sake, if you only talking about racism? Stop tagging it as simblr drama. It’s not the same.
