“you gringos are amerikkkan before you’re black” being a scroll away from news of a little black american girl being murdered having acid poured on her and her body being thrown into the river is so fucking surreal man literally what have black ppl done to any of you
Black gay bars are closing while everybody profits off Black queer culture. Ballroom gets copied, our slang gets recycled, our aesthetics get monetized, & suddenly non-Black people are the face of “Black gay” events.
How do u consume the culture but erase the people who built it?
worst part of the literacy crisis is that you can’t use hyperbole or be dramatic anymore without some dumb fucking idiot thinking that you sincerely believe whatever exaggeration you said
@lovlac3e@foxxyscleo how is saying “they have ____ ancestory” easier than just saying someone is nigerian-american? it implies it’s the same thing. and the ancestory isn’t just 1 great grandmother that’s a stereotype. most have parents and grandparents and they’re proud of where they came from
@lovlac3e@foxxyscleo do you think non white americans don’t get called weird and experience racism and xenophobia for their race and ethnicity? like is that actually the argument you’re wanting to make 💀
@lovlac3e@foxxyscleo these are all stereotypes you made up in your head and not the true lived experience of all americans. you don’t know these people and if they do participate in their culture. you see a minority of people online do something and apply it to all americans
@lovlac3e@foxxyscleo are the natives not also born there? you’re being ignorant to american history online and wanting to call us stupid simply because you don’t understand. i don’t get online and call people from latin america stupid because they have different systems in their countries
@lovlac3e@DrainBang@foxxyscleo and they ALSO have multiple ethnic groups too and yet you still call them all japanese. so why is it any different for us to say mexican-american for example? we understand there are many different ethnicities in mexico but they are all mexican. that’s why your logic is flawed
@lovlac3e@foxxyscleo you’d be wrong cuz you’re only thinking of first generation immigrants. the entire country is made up of people who were not native to america this is why we are denotated as being wherever our ancestors came from bc we continue cultural ties to that lineage
