If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Meanings | Defining Love & Ain't No Love Lost

Ain't No Love Lost

“Ain't no love lost,” is one of those phrases that means the opposite of what it seems. It means all love has been lost. In other words, “ain't no love lost” is the opposite of “I love you too.” It is a nice way to say, “I hate you too.”

Sometimes it is used to a lesser degree to indicate not caring about what someone thinks or feels because it has already been established that two people or two groups of people don't like each other.

Sometimes when the phrase, "ain't no love lost" is used, the person means "whatever," "kiss my ass," "go to hell," "I don't give a damn" and other such phrases that mean I ain't got no love for you, thus, ain't no love lost. Ain't no love lost is a wake up call that says there was no love in the first place ever and there can't be love in the second place ever, which is why ain't no love lost because love was never found or around the relationship.

Ain't no love lost is the beautiful combination of two sentences. Love doesn't exist (ain't). Love can't be lost (no).
Or in another configuration. Love not found. Love not lost.
No love found. No love lost.
Or love ain't found. Love ain't lost.
This explains the emphatic sense of the double negative ain't no.

Ain't no love lost does not always have to be verbally said. Just look at the behaviors and actions of self and others and you will know when "ain't no love lost" is the message.

When someone says ain't no love lost or shows it in any other way, this not only means they don't love you but they don't believe you love them, never ever.
It means even if there was sweet love in the first place, that love has been replaced with such a salty sour distaste, that love is not considered to be lost. Instead, it is considered a big mistake that at least one party wishes never did exist because the memories can't be escaped due to ongoing pain and anger that continues to vibrate because there has been no healthy way used to help it dissipate.
