Oh, fuck that noise.

It seems like if a black person ever shows emotion, then they are playing into a stereotype, therefore it’s their fault the stereotype exists. Which, no. It’s white people’s fault for bringing…

witchsistah replied to your post: if you can give me advice, that would be awesome.
As for the Black mom’s side, they’re probably wondering if her being in IRRs is due to her hating her Blackness and by extension theirs. I’m a BW in an IRR, but it’s still important for me to be sure that others are no anti-Black.

And if they say “no” take the “no” with good grace and GO. Do NOT pull passive-aggressive pouty faces or in any way imply that the Black person was being unreasonable in having the termity to own their own bodies and have boundaries as to who and who does NOT get access to it.

black person: good to know.
white person: so, um, can i touch it?
black person: absolutely not
white person: why not? :(
black person: because i don't want you to? because white people like yourself have a history of fetishizing and taking ownership of black bodies to suit your own twisted, racist doctrines? because your hands are dirty? because i don't know you?
white person (oblivious as fuck): racism is in the past! *touches* ooooh wowwwww! It's soft like a cloud! or cotton candy! do you wash it?

Bad allies do things.
dumbthingswhitepplsay:
Bad allies avoid “fighting” with the privilege deniers in their group, and instead send private messages to the marginalized saying “FWIW, I agree with you.”
Marginalized people really could not care less. You aren’t helping the situation. You are just pulling a passive move to make yourself feel like you did something while in no way contributing something useful to the...

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought when I found out this white couple I know are going to adopt a baby is, “Please, don’t adopt a black baby. Just stick with white”?
I would just side eye the hell out of them if they adopted a baby of any other race but white, because their first kid, they named Martin Luther King, because their last name is Day. Get it?
Ugh.

This is where the white person can get a great chance to use their diunital thinking.
Think of both PoC as correct, even if they have opposing stances. They’re both right based on their experiences in the world as someone who experiences racism.
The ONLY time I can really think of that a PoC…

I like the sentiments, Karen. You don’t understand, though. If only more Black folks in my community who did that sort of thing were taken seriously. People believe they don’t exist, but we do. However. You? I love it Karen but…you’re White. She probably would have beaten you...
