Melanist Tribe

i remember what happened on @backwzzds page and how i was saying palm coloured ppl are weird when it comes to boundaries.

it’s a ridiculous cycle. we’ve been excluded from things for literal generations since white ppl discovered skin tone, so what did we do? just go where we’re wanted/make our own space.

but that’s a problem apparently.

they don’t actually care about ‘InClUsIvItY’ because if they did, you would see more non black ppl complaining about how almost every single y/n is white coded, but how many of them have you seen complaining? ofc they wouldn’t because why would they?

they want us to kick and scream and cry at the door when they don’t let us in. press our nose to the glass and say “i wish that was me” basically “hate from outside the club when we can’t even get in”

but why would i stand outside somewhere that doesn’t want to let me in being a fucking hater when i can just either 1:go somewhere that wants me or 2:just make my own club?

but when we make our own clubs, they’re entitled to make their way in cause how dare you not feel bad when i don’t let you do something? you have to accommodate me!

and when you don’t accommodate them cause why would you, only then do they want to scream about iNcLuSiViTy

it’s such childish behaviour: someone tells you you can’t have/play with a toy so you throw a tantrum.

i couldn’t give less of a fuck about palm coloured feelings. cause ik for a fact they would throw me under a train if they got the chance.

if you want black writers to be more InClUsIvE, go scream to white creators about how much you want them to be the same way.

im getting messages in my inbox saying “why don’t you specify it’s a black/black coded reader in the post?” why would i? you’re not my target audience 🤨 do you see “white coded reader” on posts? or “asian coded?” or “non-black coded?” (no hate to them just giving an example)

this is for the NIGGAS only!!!

i am a black woman so obviously i’ll write with a black woman in mind cause that’s what ik best and can relate to, so if you want inclusivity, go read anything else
