To be 100% clear: I didn't say that you must cut off family.

I specifically said the opposite: that it's OK not to fight. I said that I get it that some people don't want to cut their Trumpy relatives off because that is really, really hard. I also said that leaving a toxic family can be a good choice.

What I did say, is that if you aren't willing to do those hard things, don't you dare fix your fingers to hop online and blame Black people for anything.

@mekkaokereke I wanted to thank you for writing that and this thread. While I'm not wandering the internet blaming Black people for voting... whatever way, it still made me reflect. And I'm still reflecting. I'm not sure what I want to do—let alone how to do it—but I think I need to have some hard conversations about some extended family members with some less-extended family members.

So, yeah: Thanks for writing those words and putting them in the world. 💖
