Sending all the love to Miss Dida, you are a strong and beautiful drag queen! Fuck those disgusting criminals. We love you queen!

I don't think she can hear you from here.

I think the message here wasn't to discredit the movement against police brutality toward black civilians.

This was a very shaken black person that wants to see this same activism and attention applied to condemning those in black communities that hurt their own race in a society that's already got enough assholes of every color assaulting, killing, and oppressing them.

She wants to know black lives still matter when they're taken by somebody other than bigoted cops. Fixing the police brutality issue won't erase the inequality. It's one important step.

My opinion is essentially irrelevant, but I know many people here can relate to the disgust you feel when members of your own community face discrimination, violence, and abuse by the people that should understand them most.

I'll drag your thirsty wigs any day of the week, but if I witness anybody assaulting you, I'm not gonna watch. I'm gonna get my ass kicked with you.

I'm glad you're okay, Dida. Damn.

That's the thing though. Black communities in Chicago march, protest and organize about and condemn black on black crime all the time.

[–]lisawiggum 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

Exactly! There has been much activism for decades to stop crime in the black community. Plus the whole "black on black" crime is a myth. There's crime everywhere. People tend to live in communities with people of their same race. People who commit crimes are likely to commit those crimes to people of their same race...This so-called black on black crime is not a unique phenomena or else we would have white on white crime, hispanic on hispanic crime, etc.

I've only visited a friend in Chicago (Rogers Park) so I can't say I heard about those organizations. Maybe Dida can use her platform to help spread awareness, too many good protests go ignored by media. Nobody wants to read about activism until they can negate it.

Thank you for the heads up.

You're not alone. It's something that doesn't get talked about because we're still fighting so many battles, and drowning the voices of internal struggle is easier than admitting we sometimes fail to practice what we preach. I'm sorry.

[–]Pink_Flash 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed. Has to be mentioned, even if it's not the focus.

Let's just say the words, "Not gay enough." has been thrown my way because I'm not a harmful stereotype. That person was clearly an idiot but you'd be surprised how many people think you should act a certain way, which is funny for a group of people who claim they shouldn't have to act a certain way to fit in.

It looks to me that Dida's commentary was about the apathy of passers by who could have discreetly called 911. No one cared enough to do so. I think it also reaches out to point out that BLM has a very secific targetted message that does not include civilian on civilian crime.

Its the bystander effect. I was mugged on the bus with a bunch of friends when we were like 14 - we were sitting at the front and the bus was packed but nobody got up to help and sort of pretended it wasnt happening. Definitely one of my ¨fuck the world¨ moments. I learned about bystander effect years later and was like ohhhhh

[–]brendanrouthBering Strait (because I'm stuck between Katya and Alaska) 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yep, fuck the bystander effect. Whenever I see something going down I ALWAYS take action, even when I know somebody already has. If I see a fire burning I call 911 right away. Nine times out of ten I just get connected to some disgruntled operator who's like "yep we know bitch", but you never know.

If you see something, do something people.

This is a completely inaccurate view though, and one that is pushed by the media. I encourage anyone who thinks this to at least start going to the groups/pages on social media that seek to organize marches and protests for BLM. You will definitely see many events dedicated to combatting community violence, and not just police violence.

Civilian crime is not really... a political issue? Like you can hold police officers to account. They are agents of the state. Civilians are not

Absolutely. It is so sad and scary. It is also why training like Red Cross certification instructs you to point to someone and assign that person a task. If you're being mugged/assaulted you can't really be the point person for it. I always call 911.

[–]baixiaolangTatianna/Phi Phi 11ポイント12ポイント  (8子コメント)

Black communities in Chicago march against and organize to discuss/raise awareness about black on black crime all the time. I understand Dida's position given that she was just a target, but the whole "how about instead of police killing black people we talk about black on black crime" is literally an argument that ignorant people use to derail the movement and shift the blame onto black people as if the disparity in treatment by police isn't an issue and as if no one in black communities is addressing black on black crime, when neither of those things are true.

That probably wasn't Dida's intention, but girl should choose her words better.

[–]nuncagesPhi Phi O'Hara -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

How about we hold off on tone policing people who had a gun to their head in the past 24 hours? Sorry she didn't nail the right language while dealing with the immediate aftermath of someone threatening to murder her.

[–]DirtySpaceman93Alyssa Edwards -2ポイント-1ポイント  (5子コメント)

You know you can talk about more than one issue at once, right?

[–]baixiaolangTatianna/Phi Phi 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

My point is that both ARE being talked about literally all the time here in the city Dida lives in and in black communities all across the country, and that her argument the way she phrased it comes across as the same exact anti-blm argument that people use when they, like Dida, are apparently ignorant to the fact that this is an issue that again, is constantly talked about.

Give the bitch a break, she was just robbed at gunpoint. I'm sorry she didn't screen her post first to make sure it wouldn't hurt your feelings.

[–]baixiaolangTatianna/Phi Phi 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's not about hurting my feelings it's about spreading false information that undermines the exact point she is trying to make.

Does she read this sub?

If so, I would like to tell her that the same thing happened to me, but it was only one person instead of two. I would just want to tell her to be sure to follow up with a doctor or a counselor in a week or two. Very often, the shock can last days or weeks, and after you think you were over it you'll notice physical and psychological problems and not necessarily connect them because it has been so long. Please take care of yourself, DiDa.

As a Chicago residen, sadly, it's not surprising nobody helped her.

In this thread: people who have not had a gun pointed at them recently criticize someone who has had a gun pointed at her recently.

Sorry, Dida.

[–]Unnie55Tatianna 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Sorry but this post is giving me "all lives matter" teas. The black community can address black-on-black violence and police brutality at the same time. Many people mention black on black crime as a diversion from the core issues of racism and oppression in this country.

Dida, I love you, and I am so sorry for what happened to you and glad you're okay, but this is bordering on ignorant. BLM organizes for the communities in Chicago all the time. All you need to do is go to any Chicago-based BLM group page and look at the events, there are many.

Gosh, I just love it when the community college kids are always so quick to shut down someone's actual lived experiences, I really do.

[–]slogandTatianna 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm almost 30, and I didn't even go to college so jokes on you, girl. Furthermore, I'm not shutting down Dida's experience at all, but she's clearly criticizing BLM by saying they're not doing anything to combat community violence.

All I am doing here is correcting her. I've participated in BLM initiatives to end violence in communities of color in NYC when I lived there. The group takes in active role, so this post comes off as ignorant.

Then again, it's not surprising that someone like u/BoobieMcQueen, or anyone else who's a regular in r/TumblrinAction, doesn't understand BLM. Educate yourself.

[–]Shadi_pinesTatianna -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

The fact of the matter is same race crimes among minority groups is incredibly common, particularly due to neighborhoods are built and the class structure. If society pushes black americans into low income neighborhoods and theyre the majority in thise neughborhoods than statistically most of the civilian violence will be black on black in those areas, just like it would be white on white in an area of mostly poor white people.

I think blm is highly aware of this, but their mission as of now is focusing on the awareness of black lives at the hands of the white criminal justice system. Everytime black on black crime is brought up its often by racists as a means to undermine the movement and claim that police brutality and racial profiling arent a big issue. I think if blm makes progress in its current goals it would turn more specialized attention towards incidents like didas

Anyway i hope dida is okay after this incident. Shes clearly shook up.
