um yeah so quick thoughts i need to get out. i’m really obviously mixed races  (im black white and mexican) but ive always felt like i dont really belong anywhere because im not full black or full white or full mexican ya know? and i never grew up with any african culture around me and limited mexican culture (except for food omg so much food) so idk i feel like im not allowed to say im something (especially mexican bc i have prominent african girl hair and darker skin than like white ppl idk so im just viewed as a lightskin black girl ?) like im afraid someone will say something like “oh no youre not *blank*” youre only like half that doesnt count” (which kinda has happened which sucks.) like i am this but youre making me feel like im not ?? idk life stinks and im feelin my emotions sorry 

ok but like mixed race people are so beautiful every single one I’ve seen is like breathtakingly beautiful

lmao

but really?  I fucking hate it when people make fun of people who have all their races in their bios and say shit like “how many parents you got?”  like fuck off.  There are biracial, triracial, fucking 18 different races mixed into one and it’s not up to you to decide what’s important to that person.  Put everything that is in your blood on your bio and scream it from the rooftops.  People have the right to be proud of every single one of their races and it’s not funny to diminish that.  

eh, I duno about that. It can get problematic really fast. Like when White people claim 1/16th native American ancestry (then in turn, try to speak on Native American issues). Race is a social construct that dominates, it’s questionable to claim being a part of a ethnic culture when you don’t know anything about the culture nor practice said culture (and are barely even genetically tied to that culture). and once you’re white passing, well....

I still don’t understand why people are supporting Liang. Outside of antiBlackness, what reason is there? (Real Q) https://t.co/xC0dQVU2jc

People support him because the white supremacy police force is using him as a scapegoat and giving him a harsher sentence because he’s not White. 

i cannot believe someone, an asian person, sat down and wrote an op-ed about how peter liang is like vincent chin. i can believe the new york post published it though.

he’s definitely not Vincent Chin lol that’s ridiculous but its very odd that he’s facing 5-15 years when involuntary manslaughter is typically a 10-16 month average prison time. 

New York state law sets the penalty for involuntary manslaughter as 3 to 15 years. It’s not odd. Nobody is questioning whether Peter Liang is receiving harsher treatment than he would if he were white. It’s obviously true but “harsher treatment” here is “being tried in court and receiving the appropriate sentence as defined by law”. There is nothing weird or unjust about it and your post approaches dog whistle anti-blackness.

the fact that people are supporting liang makes me sick…. im so angry i hate asian people and their antiblackness like… they could have advocated for the arrest of the other officers, not downplay the atrocity liang committed… god…. fuck that

really? you don’t think it’s weird he’s facing 5-15 years instead of 10-16 months for standard involuntary manslaughter? Not to mention, of course, that’s he’s being used as a scapegoat considering no other officers ever get ANY time for their nonstop shooting carelessness? Personally, I find that very strange.

Anti blackness is hell of a drug. 

nothing screams anti-blackness like wanting a non-white officer to get off for murder just like their white counterparts.

This is my favourite photo set

Literally every fuckign post about latinx specific issues gets reblogged with some FRIENDLY REMINDER LATINX PPL CAN BE ANTI BLACK yet nobody cares to talk about latinx ppl getting pushed out of culture that we have literally contributed to for generations and nobody cares to discuss how when ppl talk about representation latinx ppl are literally told we dont matter and that as long as there are black characters being added to things then we need to sit and wait for our representation because even activism likes to pretend race is a fucking binary sometimes and I’m tired of being treated like I’m too white for activism but too brown for white people to not treat me like garbage and I’m sick of latinx characters being called useless/unimportant/unnecessary/extra by black fandom as if we cant exist at the same time as them and I feel like there’s a lateral sort of aggression here that isnt being fucking addressed and I’m probably going to get like 50 messages about ‘DONT FORGET LATINX PPL CAN BE ANTIBLACK’ like I know that!!! my grandfather is in my house every week whether I like it or not so I’m PERFECTLY AWARE of how prevalent that is in the community trust me but shit!!!!!!!!!! we matter too!!!! can we talk about latinx ppl for like 30 seconds please?????

I think what they mean is that if you are in a relationship with someone not from your internally opposite biological/physiological self, you cannot NATURALLY reproduce UNLESS you employ a third party for their egg or sperm. 

wonder what excuse rad fems will cook up to ignore her

Good thing there’s absolutely nothing in there where she’s  justifying “sex work” as non-exploitative but rather working to help the exploited women find other means through education as well as fighting the human trafficking crimes that’s such a core integral part of the sex trade/industry. Hopefully, she gets elected into some position so she can leave her former sex work behind.

It’s going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible for you to keep your blackness in your future lineage if you don’t marry your own ethnicity. Dating interracially/miscegenation, is a part of assimilation and acculturation. Steps that will distance you further from your heritage and roots. 

If you’re going to post a photo of a biracial child with her racist grandfather as proof “interracial” relationships can make a difference, expect me to comment on how that is not an everyday example of the realities of being biracial or black raised by a white family with possible white racists. Most black children who had white grandparents or immediate relatives threaten their parents to disown them go through with it. Unfriend me because I’m not naive enough to use a rare as “proof” racism can be solved by one child. The child was objectified.
