Lavern is QUEEN, though. Hot DAYUM

Any experience with discrimination you may have is NOT WITH RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. How hard is that to understand? Homophobia is not racism. You have not experienced racism. You clearly don’t know much about Black people, and have attempted to flex your white privilege by talking over actual Black people with your “I…

Thing is, Mariah and Vin don’t even look white. At all. She looks like a mixed race person; he looks like a light-skinned black man to me. Shaving off them 4b curls didn’t make him look less black.

Truly fucking tired.

I’m related to several and gave birth to one white-passing child. Nearly every black person in America, the Caribbean, Brazil and other places we got dropped off have white-passing relatives.

By your logic I could say you know nothing of whiteness. I won’t, and you know why?

Did he just argue that he is anti-racist, after he completely dismissed everything you said, called you a “tit,” and then proceed to call you “Honey-Bun?” Wtf. White people like this are a bigger part of the problem, in my opinion, than the fringe who fully embrace their racism, because they allow the status quo to…

This guy is the worst type of white person. Thinks they’re “down” with the cause, thinks they’re open minded, thinks his opinions are enlightened and need to be heard and is actually so further from everything he thinks about himself he’ll probably never get through to. Oh and I bet he has a black friend too.

But he didn’t. MJ had a medical condition and in the interview he clearly states that he identifies as black. So even though his skin was lighter later in life, he still identified as black.

And, there it is. I knew if I pushed back enough, I’d get to the heart of the matter. You think because you’ve read a Black academic (or 2) that you get it. That you couldn’t POSSIBLY be racist. Oh, at least not a “real racist”.

then I don’t think you get what racism is.

‘I am white, I’m very white, I grew up on a tiny island where almost everyone was white’

I just want to put this out as a PSA for everyone: Please don’t ungrey trolls. Don’t reply to them, don’t star them, you can “dismiss” them and their comments will never even show up. This Ross guy is a waste of all our time.

No I’m telling you to piss off because many many commenters here, many of whom are POC have been explaining this all to you for quite a while now, and you refuse to take them seriously or believe them. You are committed to being right or seen as some kind of amazing ally, and in fact you are proving yourself to be the…

Look at you, reverting to sexist endearments because you were adequately challenged. How typical. Our politics are probably not identical, as you have no interest in understanding racial dynamics beyond what you can see and, as a person who literally studied racial identity and formation at university, I find that…

You clearly are not here to learn but to continue to espouse your ignorant bullshit. Please stop hijacking this whole thread just to continue your bullshit. Please just leave. You have no idea what you’re talking about, we all keep pointing that out to you but you keep spouting ignorance. Just go dude.

Honestly dude, you just keep saying ignorant shit over and over and over. Time to GTFO now.

Um, I’m not the one who has decided they are the expert on racial identity and optics. That was you and you look very stupid while doing it. So, if you think that you’ve won, that’s your white perspective ignoring reality, something white people have been doing since time immemorial. So, congrats for being on-trend.

There’s plenty of light skinned black actors in the world.

Also, what the hell is up with this “I’m a middle class white guy” BS? You are by far not middle class Joseph. And then to act like, “oh wow I’m so surprised they cast me!” Then don’t audition for the part of a black person you asshole. If he really cared he’d turn down the part. What a chump. Never again Joseph.
