@xC1TR1C_4C1Dx As long as people keep downplaying racism and anti-blackness there's always gonna be folks pretending to be something else. It's crazy cause once they find out it's like, jaw dropping. Like black people don't exist online. Or they say something weird and racist at the reveal.
being young and black on the net around 2013-2017 meant lying about your race at some point + letting white peers make racist jokes around you and thinking it's okay cause you never really understood the gravity of the internet making minorities into laughing stock..
i think we (black people) should be able to talk about the self-esteem issues that comes along with growing up in an anti-black world. denying that is denying a very real reality that anti-blackness does mess with many black people’s self-image.
I used to let my white peers say the n word/hard r around me and I'd have people comparing me struggling black women on the net. One girl even drew blackface of me. That was the last time I let somebody nonblk say anything racist towards me. I was like 7-12 during this time
please stop using black suffering as a litmus test for how bad another group’s oppression is. not only does it makes you look ignorant and uneducated it completely ignores the fact that black people’s oppression is still not taken seriously TODAY. (1/3)
