Yeah it's me again lmao. So like I know I've been posting hella blogs lately but my life is a slight mess and I thoroughly enjoy the slight anonymity of asking people for advice without being judged and also getting unbiased views.
So I recently posted about how I get insanely angry when someone s on something I'm passionate about. Well one of the reasons I typed that up was because I've been having issues with my best friend's boyfriend - they've been together for a year and a half - who's white and tends to on the Black Lives Matter movement a lot.
We've never really gotten along like whenever I first found out they were dating, I followed him on instagram and saw some of the idiotic he posted about the movement and things like that. And then we argued before because he had a confederate flag on his car and I think it's a symbol of racism. All of these times my best friend whom I've known for nearly five years has basically tried to remain neutral. I've never wanted to on her boyfriend so I just unfollowed him and tried to leave it at that.
So basically in light of recent issues in America, I posted pictures supporting the BLM movement. So out of nowhere - remember I'm not following him and vice versa I think - her boyfriend, we'll call him Will, comments on my picture basically berating the movement. Thus I reply, and we go back and forth and finally I just decide to block him and get it over with. I was already mad that he came all the way to my page just to leave his ignorant opinion but I tried my best to not take it out on my friend, we'll call her Nancy.
Then, literally today, someone, lets call them Ben, whom I don't even follow - like I literally didn't even know they existed - comes and comments on the same photo in which I was arguing with Will on, and starts to repeat the same crap for the most part and basically call me ignorant, blind, etc. So I start to get a little pissed off and curious because we've never even made eye contact before, I've never even been in his presence. Thus I do some digging and I find out that Ben and Will are friends and they graduated in the same class and they follow each other on instagram and are friends on facebook. Thus I block Ben, and like now I'm sitting here and I'm pretty pissed off.
Like for one, I've never sent any of my friends or acquaintances to Will's page to jump on him. And secondly, like it makes me kind of pissed off at Nancy. Like I mean to me, I'm not here for any type of discrimination. I've literally stood up for all of my friends to people whom have tried to attack them whether it be for their ual orientation, race, or anything else. I would even stick up for them to my own mother if I had to. So for me, the fact that Nancy turns a blind eye to all of this is just shady. Like a five year friendship should be worth more than a relationship with a racist white dude who also has an asian imo. So at the very least I feel as if she should at least tell him to back off.
Thus I want to tell her how I feel because I don't like swallowing down my feelings, but I want to be sure that I'm being reasonable. Like do you think it's reasonable?
Also this isn't an invitation for you to try and come here and pop off about the Black Lives Matter Movement because I'll actually shut you down.
I'm really just trying to figure out if it's okay to feel a little betrayed.
