nigga is the only racially targeted slur i can think of that’s been turned into colloquialism for people of all races to use in their everyday conversations…and yall dont think that a nonblack person who says it is antiblack & racist. lol ok.
the simple fact that everyone’s so comfortable saying nigga and not some other slur goes to show that black pain, blackness in general, is open for consumption by all races
these white women living in literal black face are the least deserving people when it comes to sympathy for people impacted by body dysmorphia. you have countless non-white young girls suffering from internalized self hatred as a direct consequence of eurocentric beauty expectations and an environment that reaffirms this view yet you want us to turn the other cheek to women who call us slurs and in the same sentence proclaim their love of ‘exotic’ men? no bitch!
They’re fixated on a highly sexualised idea of Black and mixed women. They dont need to do any of this to gain access to resources or respect, white women on Instagram and society at large do just fine without any of it. There is alot to say of the impact of social media on how you see your self but this isn’t just that
white women aren’t harmed and often arent even aware of how women of colour internalise eurocentric ideas and changing them selves out of self hate but some of these women might become mothers of mixed kids and then what do those kids do that their mum thinks of them in terms of a racialised ideas of sexual appeal? what might happen if Black and mixed women come in contact with them and these women are in positions of power?
They will grow up and wash the fake tan off and ’ return’ to white society and giggle about their silly Black phase and wanting to look like “ that” while the ideas about Black womens looks and bodies remain. Woc that recover from changing them selves to fit eurocentric will still live in a society that tells them to change and will often have years of work ahead and perhaps these white women might still have to deal with whatever body issues they have but there is no pressure to be Black
None of them need to do this to survive they way woc may need to
They know what they’re doing, maybe not in detailed terms but they’re chasing a racialised thrill
