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…

I’m not “trying” anything — certainly not to communicate with you, which is what I was attempting before in good faith.

I think Anna’s initial point stands, however. Regardless of willingness (and I think it’s fair to assume there was no real willingness, given that these were enslaved people) there were Black Americans who fought in the war. If they lost their lives in the war they should be honoured as war heroes, all the more so if…

You see I was just like “Whaaaaaa ....?” with the Chris Rock squinched-up face.

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!!”

This is so fucked up. So. Fucked. Up.

You are either a very good troll or a very sick person. Or both. Either way, I regret engaging with you and won’t make the mistake again.

Dishonest how? I was talking about you perpetuating the happy slave/kindly master myth which you are doing with the statement I quoted. You stating that they shouldn’t have been enslaved doesn’t add or detract from that point.

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).

but some slaves liked being slaves and fought to protect their masters .

I’m not lying to myself about anything.

I want you to do what, Arken? Kill yourself? Is that what you’re saying or not? Stop beating around the fucking bush about self harm and how I’m gonna regret it when you’re gone, and say what you want to say here. Do you want to kill yourself, or not?

Yes, this. There has never been any proof of blacks fighting willingly for the Confederacy, but people keep claiming this (despite the Confederates racial ideology explicitly stating if blacks could fight then their whole ideology was bunk)

Plz dig up your Roman and Greek sources. Let’s do this.

Great gif and spot-on use!
