To Whom It May Concern:

Hello there. I am Monifah. You may never have heard of me based on what wikis you frequently visit. However, specifically on the Animal Crossing Wiki and the Community Central Wiki, I have been the pinpoint of a lot of drama. I find that a lot of people like to blame me for everything that happens. In reality, that is not how it goes. We collectively create trouble, not a single person on their own. Nonetheless, the last thing I try to do is create drama. I am the least dramatic person on this website, really.

I am constantly treated with disrespect on FANDOM. It has gotten to the point that I took a very long hiatus of about two months from this website. I really enjoyed using it at one point. However, in many instances, I found that my race was the issue. A lot of people were privileged enough to make fun of me or pinpoint blame on me because of my skin color. I will just put this out here now: I will not be putting up with that bull crap anymore. Now that I have decided that I will return to FANDOM, I will NEVER put up with that racism again. I hope everyone else who has been in similar scenarios will do the same.

Since admins of individual wikis can ban users for whatever reasons they want to, I have often been banned from wikis simply for having darker skin, and this reason was covered up by a facade of the XYZ things that were not my fault which happened. For example, on the Animal Crossing Wiki, I was the target of loads of drama. I visited the wiki chat once to see if anyone wanted to help me with the game. I had just recently bought it. This was in August. I was treated with disrespect, and nobody would answer my nice questions, as if they didn’t just not want to help me, but they wanted me out of the chat because I was different than them. I reacted, rightfully so, very vigorously, at their blatant racism, and I was banned. I never visited that wiki chat again, but drama erupted. I was the target of a scheme of alternate accounts on that wiki. Someone thought it would be funny if “Monifah” came back. They put all of this on me. I do not deserve that bad rap simply because the color of my skin. Things like that make me not tolerate the racism on FANDOM anymore. I honestly felt so sad that I was the target of al of that. How could people just pinpoint so much blame on an innocent person they barely know, solely because they are different? I have no idea how.

If you are part of the crews of people who find it hilarious to bully me to the point that I had to leave FANDOM for a while like just recently, I want you to know that I will NOT be putting up with your crap anymore. This is a war cry for anyone else who has had issues on wikis because of racism and they have not been solved. It is too easy to ban people because of their skin and cover it up. It shouldn’t happen anymore. I will not settle for that. I will not settle until all of FANDOM is free of racism and discrimination as a whole.
