This article reflects EXACTLY what is wrong with politics in America.

who has a white mother

To be fair, we have already done a lot worse. I’d rather have someone, anyone, in the job that takes it seriously and is actually qualified for the job. And by qualified I mean have been elected to some sort of office in the government before. Serving in the government is not like running a business, it’s not like…

Yes, I see your point and I think that’s why I’m having trouble relating? Like I’ve had people accuse me of “talking white” or whatever, but it never bothered me too much because I’ve been around enough Black people throughout my life to know that it’s not about *me* for real. Sometimes I take that type of exposure…

Yeah. Everything after that was purely a result of being stabbed in an old, very common wound.

This. Those tweets at here were some Mean Girl bullying bullshit, personal as fuck, and I 100% agree with her frustration, if even her response shows some deep-seated ignorance about the whole issue of colorism and its history.

That show is complicated nuanced portrait of black people, living full lives with no white saviors. Therefore white people do not want it.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was maybe 12, in the kitchen, sitting in that lone chair in the middle of the kitchen, getting my hair done when he came on the radio. My father walked in through the kitchen, stopped and said, “Bobby Caldwell, That’s a bad white dude.” I laughed at my father, and he looked at me…

Yay prison rape. /s

That’s a shame that your parents acted that way, but beautiful that your sister had at least one person in her life to turn to. It’s hard to maintain a close bond when there’s a huge age gap between siblings and you were doing something right for your sister to come to you.

Idk. A lot of white girls have black features. Like some darker skinned Jews or Italians

I think it has more to do with their unwillingness to accept that privilege is a thing. They want to believe that everyone starts from the same place and the reason why white people succeed is because of hard work while all the brown people are lazy.

The money provided for the donation is going to be siphoned from the NFL’s funds for breast-cancer awareness and military-service initiatives, so it won’t cost the NFL a dime, according to Slate.

I’m not sure why this is news. She could easily be already in any state legislature from Kansas to Florida.

what the cuck’s going on here?

I’m sitting with you. I’m on layers and audiences of Blackness.

“Being mixed race or identifying as mixed race literally means you identify as more than one race. It doesn’t mean you identify as some new made up race that is called “mixed”.”

I mean, when I was younger it used to really bother me to see biracial people not identify with being Black. But, I’m old now and I learned you can’t contol people. Let people decide how they want to identify and we can all keep it moving.

This is all I’m trying to say. It’s weird that black people keep wanting her to identify as black, when she’s already said she’s mixed, and that’s how it’s gon stay. And it’s not negative. it just is. Although I do understand why that decision irks some black people.
