SpongeBob’s momma might be black, but the fact of the matter is is that he never claims his blackness unless he wants to silence his darker skinned counterparts, such as Sandy, by bringing up the hardships he supposedly faces as a light skinned/passing sponge 

The only time he places any claim on black culture is when he uses it to entertain his white friends, like when he dips into black gospel music in the pizza delivery episode.

^ He also attempts to adopt a stereotypical gangsta attitude when he is trying to gain entrance to the Salty Splitoon.

Y’all remember that minstrel show he did when he decided to be a part time comedian…

I touched on that in another post, but yes, how could we forget that mammy fest?

Don’t forget when he was shocked that Patrick got his license before he did because he was convinced his “whiteness” was going to give him an easier pass than his non-passing counterpart.

But Patrick comes from a wealthy family, who pay for everything he has. He admits himself he’s never done anything in his life but wants recognition for it. So, he appropriates black culture by imitating SpongeBob so he can be praised for doing what gets SpongeBob sent home

You’re absolutely right. This idea that non-black people of color are exempt from perpetuating anti-blackness 

Patrick is blatantly antiblack against Sandy on numerous occasions, and he also bonds over antiblackness with his (not really his) parents by constantly degrading SpongeBob, who’s fulfilling the role of uneducated black friend.

What about Squidward

squidward is unproblematic

But have a sip of this Long Island iced tea, hunty: Squidward is NOT white. He is OBVIOUSLY a cephalopod of color, one who doesn’t have light skinned privilege like SpongeBob. Yes, he can be bougie. Who isn’t from time to time? He wants nice things for himself. Let sis live that dream.

Squidward is keen to respectability politics. He often is disgusted by Spongebob and Patrick’s crudeness. He believes that behaving a certain way and living a certain lifestyle will get you places.

It comes from a place of deep seated self hatred and feelings of inadequacy–we see this in his interactions with other cephalopods, most notably squillium. It’s still harmful to others, but I think we can allow him some small measure of sympathy and support–especially since he manages to achieve full assimilation into the lifestyle he thinks he wants but ultimately returns to his noc (neighborhood of color)
