when white US southerners and midwesterners are like "We're not all racist! Leftists are here too!" it's kinda like seeing someone standing on a rock surrounded by lava, saying "It's not all lava!"

@alexlaw We were born on the rock.Our families have never had the resources to leave the rock.We're shouting because we need people to throw us a rope, but what we hear back is "The volcano's set to erupt any day now, so that problem solves itself."

@Hayling I don't think you even remotely understand my post. this isn't about voting disenfranchisement or resource allocation. it's my experience as a POC, who could be murdered there, being told "it's not all that bad" by whites in the south. it is, in fact, THAT BAD.

@alexlaw I'm a very out, very visibly trans woman. Oklahoma is an open carry state. I worry about being murdered every time I walk out of my door, which is not often. I -know- it's that bad. I'm not denying the lava is real, and dangerous. I'm saying that we're shouting because we are out here every day, living close enough for it to scald.

@Hayling then the post is not about you, it's about yt ppl who say the shit in my post. is that not clear? i already know there are queer and poc there, they're not the ones advertising their home as the Southern Hospitality resort.
