"She (non black) but grew up in the hood, so thats why she talk 'like that'." 🤡

—the same black ppl who used to harass or ostracize the nerdy or articulate black kids in school for growing up in the same hood but who "talked white".

Hi, I saw your post about blonde hair and whiteness being associated with good and dark hair and poc features being associated with evil and I don’t know if it’s the same or derailing so I won’t reblog it with this addition but it kind of reminds me of a similar thing, where whiteness and lighter features are associated with femininity and darker ones and poc features with masculinity. And I know femininity isn’t inherently “good” nor masculinity “evil” but it’s something I’ve noticed that gets me upset. How female characters whether human or otherwise will often be lighter than their male counterparts, how most heterosexual interracial relationships will have the girl be lighter skinned or white, and the boy be darker skinned or a poc, and how most lesbian/sapphic couples will have the more feminine partner be lighter-skinned/white while the more masculine partner will be darker-skinned/poc, for example Lumity and Catradora and some other examples(and this is no shade to either of those ships because I like them both a lot but it is a trend that exists a lot). There are some exceptions such as Revolutionary Girl Utena and The Prom but they are rarer in comparison.

Stuff like this leads to woc and especially Black women, but ESPECIALLY those with darker skin being seen as less feminine than white women or nbwoc. In lots of Black media the Black women are all lighter skinned with looser curls and lighter eyes and are often played by biracial actresses(usually half-white), while the Black men are darker-skinned and played by fully-Black actors. Likewise, straight interracial relationships featuring a Black partner almost always have the male partner be Black. And if it’s a Black woman in a wlw ship the non-white partner will be more feminine than she is. A lot of Black femmes and other woc femmes with dark skin often don’t feel femme enough because the standards for femininity often bleed into the lesbian community where everyone’s prototypical idea of a femme lesbian is white and slim. I even saw some stories of young Black girls not being allowed to be the princess in a school play because “Black girls can’t be princesses” similar to how someone said that a Black girl couldn’t play an angel in a play but the white girls could. It’s as if the standard for femininity is whiteness which leads a lot of Black girls and women to feel like feminine enough because they are too dark and idk it is something to think about. I hope this isn’t missing the point of your og post or anything but I feel like it is worth mentioning. I’m sure they’re are lots of videos on it too. It’s so unfair.

No you're totally right! I think something that cis people like to do is ascribe morality to femininity and masculinity. and it's not always F = Good and M = Bad because obviously femininity in men and masculinity in women are punished extremely violently, but they do play into (feminine) innocence a lot while also playing into the colorist/racist idea that lightness equals morality. hence why often times when someone is described as angelic or the epitome of innocence, the character will be a blonde haire blue eyed girl, specifically. and other times when, even if she doesn't have that pheontype, she's still a girl.

you also see it in the conded (and sometimes not) "women and children = innocent" framing that people will use to draw sympathy for a terrible phenomena.

And like I said, there's lots of times where masculinity is the standard for morality and femininity isn't (like the masculine aloofness versus the feminine emotionality). but in America especially (where I am currently) how we view masculinity, femininity, gender neutrality, and everyhting in between is inextricably linked to race and white supremacy. what makes a manly man and a womanly woman and a deviant of these binary ideals has a lot to do with white christian views on sex, gender, and sexuality.

and i could talk about this for ages but we'd be here all day ksajhflsakj

Do you think this relationship between Lori H and MBJ is pr? I always saw him dating nbwoc.

To an extent? Absolutely. But they’re cute with it so we’ll only side-eye them a little bit. For future reference though if Grant ever decides to do another PR relationship he needs to take notes.

[I care more about bm/moc than bw/nbwoc who throw their own community under the bus to appease white women”, like just imagine calling black men ‘Tyrone’.] Didn't write that but calling bm Tyrone is the equivalent to calling white women Karen, it's not that deep. It's funny how Shaniqua was the first name non-bw came up with and everybody thought it was hilarious but since bw started doing it to y'all, the tears come out. Deep throat that Jordan sneaker some more, handmaiden. We already knew.

have you ever seen deadly class on syfy? its based off a comic, and aesthetically, the show is so good with visuals bc it incorporates comic pages and animation along with liveaction, and some of the fight choreography is amazing, but you can really tell the russo brothers executively produced it. the treatment of the nbwoc on the show is horrendous & the only moc who is treated moderately well is whitepassing. its so bad. 😭

I’ve never watched it, but you know, the way you describe it I’m not surprised. The Russos like to treat their COC like throwaway characters. It’s so transparent.
