oooohmygod i’m fangrilling so hard right now (your tumblr gives me life btw). ok ok, i can be chill, i’ll tell all the others to not do this.

Nothing wrong with it, but sometimes there can be lots of racist fuckery that goes on with white people adopt kids not from the same racial/national background.

She sure seemed comfy with all that money lecturing and making appearances to talk about experiences she plagiarized from others who actually lived them.

This piece was an eye opener. It’s basically a list of all the known times that she has claimed to be a victim because of whatever race she said she was at the time.

At what point can we sit back and just acknowledge that this is her experience and look at it with a bit more empathy? She’s hurting.

I was right there with you until the news broke she sued a traditionally-black college for discriminating against her for being white, which to me proved what her critics are saying— she is trying to work herself into a versatile identity as a con for whatever advantages she perceives to have either way, which reeks…

Sure, a white, college educated women, is having an identity crisis. BOO HOO WHITE LADY IDENTITY CRISIS.

Yeah that might fly if she hadn’t sued Howard University for discrimination and claimed it was because she was white. This wasn’t when she was 5 years old, she was applying for a teaching assistant job at Howard. So her story changes to suit the questions being asked.

So much for the legitimacy of that “transracial identity” issue that so many TOTALLY NOT TRANSPHOBIC people were bringing up.

She hasn’t met even met a teeny, tiny percentage of Black men in the US and certainly not globally so how can she make that statement? Some of my closest friends are White women. Would it make sense to say “White women love me?”

It’s dehumanizing to act like a black person’s sexual/romantic feelings are totally dictated by their race without any variation between individuals (especially since generalizations about black people’s sexuality have been a big part of the justification used for anti-black prejudice and discrimination). There’s a…

That’s exactly what a stereotype is. It’s taking traits/actions exemplified by a few (or even a lot of) members of a set of people and extrapolating that to everyone in that group of people. Virtually all stereotypes come from an actual place of truth, (whether one member of the group behaved that way at one time, or…

It’s similar to working in food service, being stiffed in tips by a few Jewish people and proclaiming “Jewish people are cheap.”

It was also meant to play into the idea that black men like bigger women, but the humour of that doesn’t come through.

It’s not a stereotype if she’s basing it off her actual experience.

Because it is a stereotype and whilst might make you feel good isn’t necessarily a positive thing for black men, especially when it is linked with street harassment.

If only she said she’d date them. But the way she talked about them like “the others” is what skeeves people out.

Yeah, it’s playing into someone’s fetish in a stereotypical way. It’s stereotyping black men.
