#antiblackness

Outre brasileire parde aqui (quaisquer pronomes)! Vi o post que você enviou no Creating Black Characters... cara, o ALÍVIO que eu senti, eu vejo tantos tantos BRs passando pano pra esse caso, me deixa meio enojado. Zorra Total e Pânico ainda faziam blackface em pleno século 21 e as pessoas riam e batiam palminha. A quantidade de gente que age como se no brasil não tivesse racismo porque "aqui é diferente"... não é não, de jeito nenhum. Eu sou claro e sofri racismo em escola particular. Me deu um revertério de ver a situação porque não é só a pele não! Tem toda uma codificação da personagem, ela é desenhada com um tipo corporal que remete também à ideia dela ser negra, e as roupas, a forma como a pele sempre é sombreada como pele e não pelo como seria se fosse uma ovelha negra, como se desenha os lábios quando ela usa batom, mesmo ela tendo aquela boca de furry. É muito fodido, cara, brasileiro ama fingir superioridade nesse campo mas a gente tem muitos problemas. Enfim, desculpe o desabafo kkkk só estava passada de ver gente defendendo e falando que o desconforto era "coisa de gringo"...

people describing why they don't like rap music

That one rant video that says, "rap music is inherently misogynistic" while not naming a SINGLE song as an example??

"He was their Prince Charming and I definitely think they considered that he should definitely be with someone white and blonde and definitely not me."

Reminder that racism is strictly tied to minorities. No, white people cannot experience racism. You are whitewashing history once again by strong arming this and taking the word away from oppressed racial groups, especially Black people.

[W]hat is narrated and presumably experienced as a sexual and romantic relation in ancient Athens cannot be understood except as an expression not only of “sex urges” as we understand them (by which we mean lust, pleasure) but also of social status or, more properly, of a relation between a dominant social actor and a subordinate one. This would logically appear to have some purchase on our understanding of the institutional rape that was part of chattel slavery in the Americas, for the masters/rapists. [Angela] Davis’s cogent articulation of rape to racial and sexual terrorism and thus to social, economic, and political hierarchies must lead us to accept rather than to deny the sexually excitatory aspects of expressing (or trying to express) the dominant role in sexual relations, or performing the role of owner in relations of capitalist exploitation. At the very least, if we are to take these articulations as correct readings of the historical record, we would have to see that, in the ideal (and thus both in the realm of representations and in socially shared or socially transmitted fantasy), one has to get one’s dick hard to rape to establish one’s social position and terrorize one’s enemy, and part of what gets one’s dick hard is establishing one’s social position and terrorizing one’s enemy: the sex urge is as much the will (or urge) to dominate as it is an urge for something presumably more purely sexual; and the sexual cannot be understood to exist as part of this institution—and as part of any practices related to it or that make reference to it—except as sexy because it is an expression of sociopolitical power or status. We have not left the sex urge behind by identifying the political and economic determinants that make rape a virtual institution; we have instead identified part of what constitutes the sex urge.
