blasian zoey and rumi + indian mira! I hadnt done digital art in soo long, this is still a WIP but wanted to post in time for the melanin beam challenge 🤎🖤 @creatingblackcharacters
Sorry if this sounds a little dumb, but I don’t understand the difference between writing Black characters with intention vs just.. doing research and the applying it. A past post of yours with this question said to look at the FAQ, but I didn’t find the answer there
-Peri
Well, the entirety of my syllabus is a full explanation of creating with intent, and intent is not "versus" doing research and applying it!
Also,
"I wanted to challenge myself, using my amateur art skills and my teaching skills, to convey to creators how that makes us as a community feel, and little things they can do to more intentionally create their Black characters (and therefore show more care for their Black audience). There's more to us than adding to a diversity quota. There's more to antiracism than a checklist!"
-My FAQ
There's a difference between writing a character and just happening to make them Black, and Choosing to Write a Black Character. That is, one that is purposely, "I intentionally thought about the importance of the Blackness of this character as I wrote them, as well as the Black audience that will see them, and it shows".
Most of you don't do that. You write a Guy and go "I'll just say he's Black, boom I'm Progressive and Woke and Inclusive!" Meanwhile, it's a shell of a character that you will be angry at me for thinking could be better if you'd put a little more active thought into it, because How Dare You Question My Good Intent?!?
Or, you think "well what is the list of stereotypes so I can Not Do Them", as if racism and stereotypes were as simple as a checklist and not a deeply entrenched, long historied, systemic problem that checklists cannot solve! Because you can do all the "research" you want, but if you don't actually understand what you're looking at, WHY the things you're writing are stereotypical, and are just Frankensteining a Black together, it's still going to show. You're going to end up doing it anyway.
i think the general idea is that if you want the character to be Black, you have to care about what it means that they're Black, because it always means something. whiteness isn't expected to mean anything in fiction because whiteness is an absence of racial markedness, not a real identity - that cannot apply to Black characters in fiction (or Black people in real life).
disclaimer that im white and just trying to paraphrase my understanding of CBC's work, i apologize if i butchered it or if my comment is overstepping!
Eh, almost- Whiteness is not an absence of race! It's a race just as much as the rest of em y'all made up, with an overwhelmingly strong presence! It DOES mean something! It's just a part of the culture of Whiteness to Not Bring It Up.
It's just treated like an "absence" because it's been force fed to us as the "default" experience- that is, it doesn't "have" to be Said or Thought About because we're supposed to treat it as the Expected Normal, something we're just supposed to assume the existence of, and everyone else's experiences are a deviation that must be elaborated on. It's not "White", it's "normal".
But I assure you, we can all read Whiteness in your works, even if you don't mean to incorporate it in there!

"For example, the interpretations of the study have focused upon the monitoring of the diseases course in the untreated Black men, but Benjamin Roy, M.D., an Atlanta psychoneuroimmunologist, has proposed another experimental agenda for the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. More than a decade ago, Roy discovered that PHS scientists may have used the men to develop a reliable syphilis test and vaccine. The unwitting subjects may have served American laboratories as a reservoir for T. pallidum bacterium: They were human incubators of the bacterium that causes syphilis.
...Roy points out that the Public Health Service's study of the men at Tuskegee was only one of a related group of research studies called the Cooperative Clinical Groups. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study began in 1932, twenty years before scientists learned to culture cells in which to grow pathogens such as the syphilis bacterium.
Thus, the development of a sensitive, specific test for syphilis required a constant supply of syphilis, which could not be cultured in the laboratory. This constant need for fresh supplies of blood products that contain the syphilis bacterium explains, among other things, why the study subjects were routinely administered spinal taps and had their blood drawn regularly.
PHS documents verified that the sera of the infected Tuskegee subjects was used to develop more reliable tests for syphilis, including the fluorescent triponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test and the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test. In 1970, Dr. James B Lucas, of the PHS's Venereal Disease branch, conceded, "Probably the greatest contribution that the Tuskegee Study has made and can continue to provide has been documented sera for study in our laboratory... in a great measure the development and our endorsement of the FTA-ABS test rested on Tuskegee sera.""

"Some claim that the Tuskegee Syphilis Study was not a racist study because it simply mirrored a "parallel" study of Norwegian whites by Dr E. Bruusgaard. In 1929, Bruusgaard reviewed the charts of two thousand Oslo-area syphilis patients who for various reasons had not received medications between 1891 and 1910.
However, equating the Tuskegee study with the Oslo study is inaccurate, because the latter was a retrospective analysis of Norwegian treatment data that had already been collected, not an experiment in malign neglect designed deliberately to withhold treatment from the unwitting. Even if the PHS had used a parallel design, it would be absurd to compare the racial dynamics driving Black-white health consumption in segregated Alabama to that of whites in a more racially homogeneous social-welfare state such as Norway.
Apologists for the study often make the error of assuming that because there were no national laws governing human medical experimentation in the 1930s, there were no ethical strictures upon what a physician could and could not do with his patients. But in the era of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, physicians were constrained by hospital regulations and AMA codes to share diagnosis and to request permission for experimentation and usually for treatment- the ethical norm of the time.
Among the examples given by historian Susan Lederer is the 1929 observation by lawyer George Weinman that "the unauthorized autopsy of a dead human body is a tort, giving rise to a cause of action for damages." This norm was often violated in the case of African Americans."

i hesitated for a bit on sending this before, as it'll directly doxx where i live, but this is so important that i think it needs coverage.
on jan 22, 2026, jaque ramon was shot 11 times in the back and murdered by (at least) three unidentified san bernadino sheriff's department officers who refused to identify themselves when filmed and confronted at the scene.
they just. left jaque there. for paramedics to pick up. we still don't know why in the world they thought this could have ever been a necessary response to an unarmed Black man, no matter his supposed crimes; the department refuses to properly comment on the situation.
i have not been able to support his family financially because i am going through extreme hardship right now. however, this is my community, and this is my home; i try to be there for the gatherings (every 22nd, on the monthly anniversary of his death, at place it happened, by the petco across from the tyler mall) i can make it to.
if any of you can please help boost & support his case and his mother's gofundme, please please please do so.
we think the media has been suppressing his case, so there's been very little coverage even locally. despite being very involved in my community, both i and many others did not even learn about this until very recently. please try to signal boost, share, support, etc if you can. it is so important word gets out there.
jaque's mother is struggling a lot, too. i haven't been able to talk to her much, but it's very plain to see for anyone who sees or talks to her directly. she deserves answers, justice, and peace.

spent all morning looking for the pic where someone is doing an absurdly bad job at the forced perspective "i'm holding the setting sun in my hand" shot. and the caption is smth like "a new day begins.... but why?"
To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.
