"Not All-"
No, I AM talking about you and them too. simultaneously.
Because no shit it's "nOt AlL mEn" or "NoT aLl WhItE pEoPlE" or whoever tf yall wanna put in the Blank in "Not all [Blank]." No, fucking, shit, yet it is WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH for yall to then respond with such a coddling ass answer.
I'm impatient as FUCK and if you and or someone you know and actively spend your time with are responding with "Not all [Blank]", I am talking about you too when I express about antiBlackness, racism, nationalism, transphobia, queerphobia, etc., because rather than acknowledging that no there are a lot of bigots in this world & on this earth that are right under our noses & in our faces and phones, you instead choose to worry about defending yourself and or the people you know fit that category & maintain said bigotry instead of genuinely standing on the factor that you do know people that are bigots (and or YOU are the bigot to some capacity) & choosing to stand on it & create your distance and confront yourselves to break away bigotry within your intra & interpersonal lives.
I promise you I am not asking for perfection, that shit doesn't exist to me, rather I ask for all of us to have moral backbones that genuinely encourage the betterment of ourselves & the people around us and for us to genuinely WANT to be better, to act better, to be accountable, and to practice ways of betterment rather than maintaining systems that continue to harm & don't care about ourselves & others. Because I stand on when you're doing better for yourself & care about yourself actively, you practice such care towards others & vise versa. There's more than enough room on this earth for EVERY. SINGLE. BEING. to thrive, to enjoy, and to have joy. It's excuses to me otherwise.
moment of silence for every single person with curly/coily hair and adhd and gets called lazy for not being able to take care of it
This is a reminder that I’m Black.
I am exactly AND not exactly like all the Black women simultaneously.
All the African women
All the Nigerian women
All the Igbo women
What have you. I am just like every other Black woman on this Earth. So my art, my creativity, my words, my values, my morals are in creation of a Black woman. And with it I am still DoriLeFish.
You ever join a fandom and it feels too good to be true? Like, so far (and I mean so far), there's no racism or total bullshit. Everything seems swell and dandy, but you're still completely on edge. Because of the history of racist fandoms, you never know when things are gonna pop off, so you just quietly watch.
That's exactly me right now after rejoining a fandom I loved when I was younger. I'm literally just looking around waiting for the other shoe to drop, because people apparently can't be fucking normal about Black fans and Black creators for five seconds.

You ever see a non-human character so explicitly Black-coded, or a character you know damn well would be Black if they were human... but then you got mfs in your comments being like, "Erm, actually they're [whatever creature they are]" or "Why are we making everything a race thinggg?"
This is exactly how I feel about the Pinkie Pie debate. (There are so many other examples, but I'm using her for today.) There is no fucking way you can look at me and tell me you have seen a white person, not a biracial/mixed person, a WHITE person with a natural afro. And no, I don't mean an artificially made one that took 500+ treatments, forced heat manipulation, perms, and other forms (such as examples down here):
(Yes I'm fuckin' looking at all of y'all, you are not slick)
That pony is a silly Black girl, and you cannot tell me SHIT!
When it comes to mixed and biracial characters…
Why is it that when a character is Black x non-Black, the kids always look completely ambiguous or whitewashed to all hell? Now, before y'all come for me, yes, I know mixed kids IRL can be completely light-skinned or favor one side phenotypically. What I'm talking about is how media never shows the other side. We rarely, if ever, see mixed dark-skinned girls or mixed kids who actually retain clear Afro features and hair textures.
Take Luz from The Owl House. She's supposed to be Afro-Latina… but when you look at her and her parents, you can see my confusion. The Black traits are completely dialed back.
It’s the same pattern everywhere. Look at Ginny from Ginny & Georgia or Mary Anne from The Baby-Sitters Club reboot. It's always the same hyper-light, ambiguous look with zero tighter textures or Afro features. Even in cartoons like Fairly OddParents, they'll give a character a dark-skinned Black mom but make the daughter look completely white with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Why is it that when a character is mixed with Black, those Black traits are the absolute first things to be erased? It really feels purposeful, doesn't it??
I can't be the only one who has noticed, but every time there is fan art of characters, particularly ones that are known to be violent, mean, and probably bullies…they are always drawn dark-skinned or at least darker than the other group of characters that are always depicted as light-skinned or white if they happen to be a shy, cute, childish, or 'innocent' type character. Not saying ALL do this (for example, you have some amazing sonic fanartists that have all the cast have their muzzles melanated, which is really awesome to see), but I am recognizing a pattern, and I am seeing some bias and colorism all up in it…especially in the fact majority that are doing this are non-Black artists.
