This #DisabilityPrideMonth I want to remind everyone that Black disabled ppl exist, that ableism is not the same as racism, that racism affects the way Black ppl experience ableism, and that you don't experience the same things we do, and that's not bad to acknowledge

Black disabled ppl represent a huge portion of disabled ppl, are often denied healthcare and diagnoses, are abused and unalived more, and are part of this community and need their concerns addressed with disability advocacy as well. #DisabilityPrideMonth

Telling Black folks to move over for disabled ppl, stomps right into racism. The belief that Black ppl can't be disabled is racist, the refusal to recognize that we exist, that we have different needs, that we have different experiences, are also racist #DisabilityPrideMonth

No one is saying you don't suffer under ableism, but it doesn't mean you can't be racist, & it doesn't mean you're experiencing the same suffering as racism. Most importantly, you saying that ableism is the same as racism, acts like disabled POC don't exist. #DisabilityPrideMonth

Disabled Black folks are constantly having to repeat this over and over again and it's about time there was some kind of reckoning over the racism and antiBlackness of the disabled community. Ya'll don't even care about us in your advocacy and it shows. #DisabilityPrideMonth

But you will use our stories and deaths to further your goals, while leaving us behind. It's a repeat of the overall landscape of politics and social justice. Use Black ppl and then refuse to even acknowledge their existence and shut the door in their faces #DisabilityPrideMonth

You use our stories for writing op eds and pieces advocating for "disability rights" that really do not consider the unique needs of Black folks, and you reject us otherwise, all while demanding we work the hardest out of anyone. It's bs #DisabilityPrideMonth

This is getting some traction so support disabled Black ppl, we struggling out here
