A freak of Nurture

EVERYTHING one knows about American/Western culture, especially in the late 80's/early 90's, would lead to the logical next line being some form of "Kids These Days Are Succumbing To The Evils Of Satan" or some likewise cheap Reaction™ But then Bill pulls the rug out

no seriously

RATING: RELIABLE

Why might someone from a group of people that historically have been denied access to wealth, now brag that they have it?

“Rappers only talk about sex!”

Why might someone from a group that have historically been denied sexual autonomy now brag about their sexual escapades on their own terms?

“Rappers only talk about drugs and crime!”

How dare OP notice the conditions in which many Black Americans are raised?! How dare those with sense state how strange it is that marginalized people have to be walking billboards lest their rights get taken and they suffer more mistreatment?

So before rap music. When the faces of something like the civil rights movement were clad in suits and master orators that oozed intelligence, what was the rationale for the stereotypes and antiblackness then?

Why were people's grandpa's siccing dogs on them? Why were people's grandma's spitting on Black children just trying to go to school?

Let's go back further. Just before slavery. If one wants to get into stereotypes? The Jezebel trope. A stereotypes that haunts the perception of Black women to this day. Just like the Mandingo one haunts Black men.

The things said about us? Like we're some hypersexual mindless beasts? That was used as justification to assault us. By the same white men who you'll notice are mostly stereotype free. How interesting. The population dehumanized? Stereotypes galore. The population doing the stereotyping? They're just people! Why ever would you judge them as whole?!

But yeah, we gotta run from that kind of stuff right? That's OUR fault somehow. Guess the answer isn't to unlearn racism and not make assumptions.

If that person is actually Black? They're a tap dancer.

there’s sixteen Colorado counties that their most searched was “wolf furry”, plus thirty-odd counties (not counting either Arapahoe or any of the ones marked here as “Insufficient Data”) which may well have had plenty of searches for “wolf furry”, just fewer than for whatever they’re labeled here

and “skunk furry” searches in Arapahoe County outnumbered “wolf furry” searches in the entire state of Colorado
