it really bothers me that whenever there’s a role for a woman of colour in a movie/tv show they cast a light skin/biracial girl. it’s not so much a problem for men really, like it’s specific to women. and we’re all just supposed to be okay with it because ~ r e p r e s e n t a t i o n ~. but no one wants to address the fact that dark skin women of colour are constantly being told we aren’t beautiful if we’re darker than a paper bag :/

Why Did Men Stop Wearing High Heels?
Gosh, sometimes I feel like a failure as a black girl
and tho im a black femme who likes kpop, i dont have a gross dehumanizing fetish for east asian dudes!! i also dont fuck with dudes who have black girl fetishes!! racial fetishism is gross!!
I said this before, but white women are dangerous, when they arent feeling appreciated, and especially when it comes to their self esteem.
i cant tell you how many times i have gotten into trouble, or chastised, or even lost friends, because i white girl felt low.
My first trip to Tokyo was sabotaged by a white woman because she thought that she would be worshiped in japan, and when she wasnt she blamed me for being more “rare”.
like,s he wasnt getting the attention she thought she deserved and was like “well , time to LOSE.MY.SHIT”.
my my point in that post is like…all the “nerdy” or “overweight” white girls i knew growing up, ended up with black guys.
and even the house bound ones somehow find black men to do their bidding.
but the sex tourism is horrendous. especially in the west indies, and Latin America, etc. even in the hood. i lived in Bushwick right at the beginning of the white wave, and they would rent one of those off the truck houses, and sit out front topless, in 35 degree weather. and you couldnt say shit because “feminism!”. and they didnt give a shit if the boys staring were underage, they’d try to talk to them.
thats why i always roll my eyes when those articles of black women going to Europe to find love come around. Because its not on the same terms, and definitely doesnt have the same amount of power behind it. Black women, that say, go to Sweden and end up in a relationship arent going there to dehumanize the men and talk about them like samples at an ice creme parlor. they’re not paying them, regardless of age, to fuck them and “sample the wares”. they’re genuinely finding love and partnership.
And like.. i was a talented kid, i did every type of dance thrown my way, i was a figure skater, i was a rhythmic gymnast.
Let me receive any , and i mean ANY praise in front of a white girl, and my life became a nightmare.
it was all well and good when i didnt compete, but once they overheard my coach fawning over me for doing well, all of a sudden white girls and their mom asked that their not be any sort of praise whatsoever. “telling her she performed her program well hurts our daughters feelings”. my coach was Russian she was like “ you think positive reinforcement hurt? try GULAG!”
but i mean, my childhood, and teen years …were great, but the only times, and there were many times, where my life was absolute shit, had a white girl at the center of it.
white girl doesnt get into punk band as bassist? she cant play and thinks simply being blond was enough?
and then lets not ignore the elephant in the room here: how white women weaponize their whiteness ….
@glutenfreepussy oh thats happened to me too. anytime a white boy would mack on me instead of the blandy there would be trouble.
but i cant tell you how many times white women have said i “threatened”them whenever i didnt react to things the way they wanted. especially if they were starting shit and i ignored them, because i mean, how could i not, its pathetic.
one blogger on here even did it irl when i found out she was going on anon to harass a mutual friend. now this woman weaponized BOTH her whiteness and her disability : in person, she tried to depend on me for things like, holding her bag, helping her up and down stairs, she would always invite me out to help her shop and pick clothing for her. etc, she literally left me standing with her wallet in the middle of union sq. i had to hunt her down store to store to give it back.
but then one day she let it slip that she was the anon torturing our mutual friend! you see our friend hadn’t published her latest tirade. but she messaged me about it, thinking the friend was gonna be publish it at the same time. when the friend hadnt, and i mentioned it, she immediately went to our mutuals and started stating that she “feared me” and i was “dangerous” and i “really made her uncomfortable”. mind you, she tended to invited herself to alot of our outings. we had nothing really in common other than a show we both watched, and outside of that show i didnt have anything to talk to her about and i didnt want her to feel left out so…
she did all that “big black bitch comin ta git meh!” shit to try and undercut me, so no one would believe it, however, the mutual already knew…
