Thank you! I have a boatload of allergies, and it’s rough when people don’t take them seriously. Like most reasonable people, I focus on the worst ones to avoid anaphylaxis because it’s scary when you feel your throat closing up. Unlike your son, I am fortunate that it’s usually easy to avoid strong mint smells, but it…

If Christian slave owners allowed breaks for church on Sunday, then enslaved folks took advantage of that. I think that’s why black church services are looong as well. 

I saw a pale woman tanning on a pool deck recently, and thought, “There’s your white genocide. Self-inflicted like the rest. ”

As a person from California, I love this comment!

Right. Why are we supposed to negotiate with these terrorists?

I agree with you so hard. My community’s chaos is in part due to low marriage rates. However, because women outnumber men, men have no incentive to change: high status men can have harems if they have social skills, and low status men w/ social skills can “marry up” to a woman who earns more AND will still perform…

Everyone is NOT for casual hookups. Many people are most interested in monogamy.

He’s literally a fucking hypocrite.

They interrupt with their Race 101 opinions while we are having a discussion too advanced for them to understand.

Right, and this narrative conveniently ignores the fact that the general ratio of black women to men in college is 2:1, so the “smart black kid” ratio would likely favor high school boys as well, in predominantly black environments. In mixed environments, black girls were (are?) generally ignored, blerd or not.

Or, they offer you less. I had a crush on a funny, short, round, comic-loving, glasses wearing black man. During a ride to a graduation party, he talked about how glad he was to no longer have the expenses of a girlfriend (his ex could pass as white if she wanted to). On the way back, he gave me a D offer. I declined…

Your comment said so much and dove deep!

Exactly.

Right, that discrepancy is around 1.5-2 million according to the NYT. That doesn’t even take into account black men’s marriage rates, which are the lowest of any race in the US. 85% of a low number is an even lower number. Also Glover isn’t even married, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if there’s more than 25% of black…

Y’know how you can often tell when a black character was written by white writers who didn’t do their research? That happens frequently with female characters and male writers. So often, we are only seen as reflections of or responding to men (Bechdel test) rather than fully fleshed characters.

Girl, yes! I am sick and tired of how WW get a pass on bigotry, not just by society, but by black people as well, especially men. Never forget 53%!  It’s especially strange how for many black men, their fight against racism is literally against white men alone, denying the role of…

Latin America is filled with mixed people. Light and dark people don’t disappear. White people still run things.

Black people with internalized racism don’t always marry their anti-black significant others and have anti-black kids. There’s plenty of men throwing women under the bus to defend their dating (rather than marriage) choices.

The other way we are gaslighted (gaslit?) is when they ignore the low marriage rates of black men. 85% of a low number is an even lower number, and that doesn’t even include the effects of colorism.

Part of it is the idea that Asian women are the most feminine, so a man can feel masculine around them without having to be a stereotype of masculinity, especially for men who are short, skinny & untoned, fat & untoned, shy, not into mainstream sports, etc.
