Y’all need to stop using white women giving birth to a very dark baby which exposes her adultery with a Black man as a plot point on tv bc that’s not how melanin works. Babies take months to brown up. Lol. Do y’all know any Black people??
We look at the ears and knuckles to predict how dark the baby will develop into. For some reason those areas of skin get browner more quickly. Everything else is pink.
I have seen this on tv so many times. And the white husband is always shocked looking at this rich umber baby that just popped out of his white-ass wife, and the baby is always HUGE, like clearly like 4 months old. I would love to see the casting call for these infants.
We’ve been around y’all for over 400 years and I swear you still don’t know a basic thing about us. Damn!
Yoooo. Why did I Google it?? 🤣😭😂 Image
Just an addendum: the practice of looking at ears/knuckles, etc to predict the eventual color of a newborn baby is heavily linked to colorism in the Black community since lighter skin was preferred (thanks, white supremacy). Important to acknowledge that.

Have y’all been to the Heights?!? I lived there and looked like everyone else. People kept coming up to me to hug me and say they knew my mother. The neighborhood is Dominican (as in the same island as Haiti 🙄).

The irony of her last name in this instance is not lost on me.
But of course, I didn’t get why we needed Black and Brown people playing the a bunch of colonizers, so maybe I’m just weird.
I was especially pissed at the show’s focus on John Laurens as a martyr with an unrealized dream of recruiting Black Revolutionary soldiers when THERE WERE BLACK REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS (9,000 on American side - 4% of our troops) and they were completely ERASED from the narrative!

If you are a woman, and you have a crush on roughly 98 men and 2 women, does that make you 2% gay? Is this science?
To be clear, I think women are way too juicy and mushy to actually have sex with. Like, no thanks. But remember Sue from Great British Bake-off? She’s my wife.
As is Kate from Line of Duty.

But she’s basically Sue without glasses, so. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I have a lot of respect for Prince Harry.

I’m going to tell a story here that I never have before. It cut me very deep.

So I was in a 7+ year relationship with a White man. Started in my very early 20s for context, and he was only the 2nd bf I’d ever had.
We had a mutual pool of friends. Really they were my HS best friend’s friend group, through her bf/fiancé who was my bf’s brother. I was the only one to go out-of-state for college, but I would come home a lot and hang with them. They were all white except me and one other guy.
So when me and, let’s call him Josh, start dating, we go to a party with this friend group. At one point a guy, let’s call him Mike, got me alone in a room, and said to me, “Tell the truth, you really want a Black dick...” He said it over and over trying to get me to “admit it”.

The obvious guess is Prince Charles. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his brother and sister-in-law. hollywoodreporter.com/news/oprah-say…
I was in a seven year relationship with a WM and let me tell you, I have stories. This question is VALID.
The reason I guessed William and the sister-in-law, is bc I found that younger people felt like they could make comments like this casually. And play it off as half-joking, but be serious.

Plus older royals would have seen enough “quadroons” to know that was a dumb concern.

@JenSloan212 @skwithycombe Yeah this is the part that I had a problem with. The rest seemed like it was more about significant differences in cultural norms and values of Western individualism vs collectivism and how it translates in childrearing.
@JenSloan212 @skwithycombe The author was problematic af. Which is unfortunate bc much of what she observed was accurate from my childhood w Black/Indigenous grandparents as primary caretakers.

This is why it’s important for *us* to write about our cultures *ourselves*. The white supremacist lens distorts
@JenSloan212 @skwithycombe It interesting bc I grew up w the opposite stereotype than is discussed in this thread. Black and Natuvr mothers were considered unable to parent well, more likely to spank or “beat”, have bad tempers, neglectful, etc.

Check out my beadwork on IG: @stonesongjewelry
All proceeds in this sale will be donated to the org of the purchaser’s choice. Image
I should be more transparent abt this. My mom taught me that all giving should be done in private, so I don’t share.

When you purchase beadwork from me you are giving to Black and Native communities. I give direct cash payments to people in need. Most of the time, anonymously.
Everything else goes to my sisters who are in college. I pay a portion of their tuition and expenses to help my mother. They also live with me in the summers.

I just want you to know that. And thank you for the support!
