how dare you pass judgement on what is important to people and make it seem like to cry over a celebrity is a misplaced priority

how dare you make it seem like people are incapable of viewing both as tragedies within their own right to space and time within the global community 

how dare you not let black people grieve over the loss of one our own

how dare you make grief an ultimatum of intellect (Syria) or folly (Whitney Houston)

how dare you shame the space we need to heal and cry and remember and attempt to move on as we send one of our own on home 

how.fucking.dare you!
