This is some deep, deep stuff, and complicated.

Probably late to this one, but could use some feedback/perspective/zingers at my expense from the Jezzie folk.

About the only jam in my head right now is a voice actually. Just got home from a date, a real actual date for the first time in about 4.5 years. This will probably get lost since I’m gray and it’s late but I just had to shout it out here (probably tomorrow on SNS too). Guys...I totally forgot what this feels like.…

There is often more genetic variance between two black people (eg Sudanese and nigerian or indeed two different black americans) than there is between a black person and a white person so your point is kind of mute. Blacks are the most genetically diverse racial group on the planet with hundreds of ethnic groups…

Overly simplistic comment based on what I remember from the show I was watching:

Because a biracial baby is the bloody gucci of babies, darling.

Not sure this is just a white thing. Husband and I have had tons of comments urging us to procreate by his asian family and friends because of how cute our IR baby would supposedly be. Instead of just giving them side-eye I might start whipping out my baby photos which should shut them up, as I was a strange looking…

A lot of women in my family hold onto that sentiment too, but since we’re black I think it gives them a little hope for the future. Like, “Aww maybe the tide IS turning/at least *that* particular white person is cool.” (Because they still distrust most white people at large.) But for the older ones I know for sure…

It’s like when white people say that in the future everyone will be beautiful mixed race people and racism will end. Like, bitch, that’s not how this works.

But it’s true. A mixed race baby is the best accessory a person could ever have. It’s the Chanel of babies.

I better not see 5,000 instances of the word “blasian” about this baby because my head will explode. Some fucking idiot followed my husband around a bbq once asking him why I wasn’t pregnant and talking about how “blasian babies are always beautiful.” He is a calm person but he was so pissed about it. I will set her…

Srsly. Why. Just why do white girls think this is okay to say. “OH, you’re mixed with black! That’s beautiful, I wish I was mixed black too! Your kids will be gorgeous because they’ll be mixed!!”

Yay! I look forward to my social media feeds filling up with posts from my (white) basic b!tch acquaintances “squeeing” over the “cute, mixed babies” because everybody knows that “interracial babies are always the cutest!!!” (unless they’re too black).
