Being a black girl is frustrating as fuck. Being a girl in general is infuriating at times. There's really nowhere to vent about it so I thought I'd make a thread for the black girls who wanna vent and the girls who wanna ask questions or are curious about the black community and all of the fantastic sexism within it! Lol.

One thing I hate about black mothers is the business of humiliating their teenage daughters for clout. Fucked up. Black mothers do this more than anyone. Instagram is there main platform to do this shit. Like black mothers, specifically hood ones,lick the ground their sons walk on but if their daughter so much as sneezes they're main mission is to emotionally break her. It's sick, honestly.

I kinda wish that there was more of a distinction between Black American/Black European/Black Caribbean/African/etc. People on the internet are extremely American-centric and it seems like Black is just short for Black American. I grew up in America but my family came from Ethiopia and I can’t really relate to any culture or experiences expect racism I suppose. Growing up was rough though, I don’t know about the rest of you but I have always struggled with styling my hair. I default to straightening it and I’m bad at taking care of it naturally.

This is an interesting thread, I hope anons don't get weird and race bait. Due to all the racism compounded by the sexism black women face, it seems like you're forced to either find internal confidence or self destruct. I think a lot of black women have risen to the challenge though; this has even been shown in studies where black women (in the U.S.) typically have higher levels of confidence compared to latinas and white women (https://www.glamour.com/story/black-women-more-confident-other-groups-females-survey). For those who feel they've mostly become immune to criticism and pettiness from racists/sexists, how would you say you got there? Was there anything in particular that really opened your eyes or lessons you held close? Did you get to that point on your own or with the help of others? I know being a "strong black women" is a shitty stereotype at times, but for sure the world pushes you to find self confidence and I was wondering how that has worked out for you (or not).

This thread is for sure gonna get locked (a lot of newfag-y threads have been popping up on /g/) but I'm gonna reply anyway This isn't all that related to your post, but your post just reminded me that I actually dislike the term "African-American". It just makes no sense to me. Most black American people don't have any recent African relatives, have never been to Africa, our experiences are different from African people, and to be honest, we don't know much about the continent as a whole. Anyway, I relate hard to the hair part. I cannot my own hair for shit, and I'm super tempted to just relax it but I shaved it all off 2-ish years ago, and I really want to commit to growing it out and not put too many harsh chemicals on it.

had my hair relaxed since i was 13. 23 now and i never really had a problem with it. I've heard everything from praise for my choice, to being questioned on why i 'rejected' my natural hair but I don't really care either way. While I didn't have much of a choice in getting it relaxed, I wasn't unhappy with it. It stayed healthy and kept pretty awesome length. but, im getting kind of tired on having to rely on a stylist just to do my own hair. i have to keep it from getting wet, I can't wash it as often as id like, its just… annoying of all the hoops and lack of control I have with it. So, after mulling it over for some time I decided I want to cut it all off. So I guess it'll be going natural. I kind of like the idea of starting over. trust me, it makes me nervous. But it gives me a chance to learn my own hair from the ground up and really take control. wish me luck anons.

My hair really fucks me up sometimes. It's relatively long, but that's because I keep it frankly shitty protective styles all the time. To clarify, they're shitty not because I think the style looks bad, but because I'm doing it myself and am not very good at styling my own hair. I wish I could regularly do interesting/pretty styles that didn't require so much time or that I had the $$$ to pay someone else to do it for me. I constantly think about shaving it and just keeping it short and it's mostly because I don't want to deal with the level maintenance I have to do with it at it's current length. I really really wish it was because I liked the short haired look (I think some women can look really pretty like that, but I don't think I'm one of them), but I'm just a lazy fuck lmao.

I HATE the way black women are portrayed in media so much. I can't stand it, honestly. Me and my boyfriend watched the Winx club remake out of curiosity and it was so annoying. First of all they white washed Musa for some reason? I guess they couldn't find an Asian actress?? They did Aisha so dirty. She follows Bloom around like a lost dog and plays mom of the group,she barely has a character of her own or a love interest. I know it's shallow but I wish they'd cast a cuter dark skin girl to play Aisha. Also why do they dress the girls like middle aged moms?

All the things that made Winx great (fashion, diverse characters with own personalities, fun whimsical setting) is gone in the new one. Honestly I think they made it that way just to spite us.

I remember this being a talking point of black women online as we moved into the 2010s. I never cared then because I was an ugly teenager, race notwithstanding. Now it's harder to ignore how political people make their attraction/lack thereof when experiencing it firsthand. Always a mention of black people's political troubles, how long did it take to get your hair like that, you're well-spoken, rinse and repeat. There has to be a script when talking to us and it feels like life drifts on in a feedback loop. I think it's better when you speak to less men though. My sympathies for those attracted.

Growing up I always found black girls extremely beautiful. Then as an adult I realized a lot of people view them as ugly, especially white guys, which was insane to me. The weird thing is, you see guys fawning over girls, who a lot of the time basically just look like depigmented black women and have black features but on a white face with white skin. But as soon as those features are on a black woman; they get called vulgar or ugly. It’s crazy to me.

I love black e-girls and some of them are incredibly creative and gorgeous, but it really does feel like they have to spend 10x much time and effort on their appearance in order to get noticed, whereas white or Asian e-girls can just throw on some wonky winged eyeliner and a polyester aliexpress dress and still get millions of views or hits. Meanwhile the black girls I see put so much more effort into their hair, makeup, styling, outfits etc and come up with tons of new trends, yet only get a fraction of the credit or attention.

It's rare for a white girl to look like a depigmented black girl. Having fuller lips or a bigger ass than the average white girl won't make a white girl look black. Also, they almost never have features as large as the average black woman and when they do it's usually disliked. Look up any conversation online about Angelina Jolie and white men are complaining about her lips.

When I was like 15 I got groomed by a racist swedish man and remembering that pictures of my underaged body are in that man's hands makes me wanna die. I was so insecure back then. Any dude showing me any attention back then made me do stupid things. When I got older I kind of grew into my looks. I just remember being young and seeing men say horrible things about women that looked like me and it tore my confidence to shreds at a very young age. Honestly the internet is so toxic to little black girls or atleast it was back then. I really wish my parents were more attentive about that. Just a quick PSA.

to me, what helps the most is keeping a clear perspective. i will always be black, i'll always be a woman– of course, i didn't choose to be either of these things, but i'm making the best of it. so if people criticise me for things i didn't choose… how is that my fault? why should i even care? it's not like i can control the thoughts and behaviours of others, just like they can't control mine. it's not my job to cure anybody's bigotry, nor defy their preconceived notions of black women.

you know what my job is? focusing on the shit that actually matters, shit i have some influnece over. i wouldn't describe myself as a "strong black woman" by any means; i don't even know if i'd consider myself confident. what i can say for sure is that, while prioritising my own, i only really care about the opinions of one or two people. everyone else is irrelevant.

i hope that helps at least a little bit, and that maybe some other anons will chime in with their own experiences. at risk of sounding cheesy, i have a message for all the black women in this thread: no matter what other people say about you, you deserve to be happy.

I'm a bit slavic and know a lot of slavs, they definitely have huge noses and small lips compared to black people. I'm not saying this to put down black people either as we both know big noses and small lips are considered unattractive. Slavs are only attractive because they have light skin, hair and eyes. They're also very lithe compared to people of color who tend to be curvier or have broadest figures.

I also don't understand why people think black women are unattractive. They're not seen so in my country and most black men and women in my country look like models because they're very beautiful and tall, although it's a middle eastern country so it's given. I think this whole issue is caused by racism as black women are quite beautiful just as any woman and people who tend to disagree are almost always mysteriously racist incels.

Omg thank God I found this thread anyways I would like to give a very massive fuck you to the creators of invincible. The way they handled ambers character was God awful. As soon as that gay character said she was a fourth wave feminist I KNEW that she was going to be a sapphire and I was right. And I don't even need to go looking on the internet to know she was dragged from hell and back cause she's a black girl especially. I think I'm going to write the creators of that show a very angry email. I'm just so pissed. I'm not even finished. Layla from winx should honestly leave the group. She goes blind, her family is turned into fish lizards and her fiancee dies but oh noooo sky didn't reply to a text from bloom how could such evil exist???????

I was going to watch lupitas New movie the 355 but when I saw that the other girls got dresses but she got pants I couldn't do it. Ik this seems nitpicky but honestly it's a way for Hollywood to subtly drag black women. I was also going to watch the new batman movie but apparently someone I was talking to online told me not to bother because the black girl character is beyond stupid and is like she was created so that the watchers wouldn't root for her because the decisions she makes are just awful.

Don't get me started on black girl erasure in the media . Whenever there is a chance to get a normal black girl character she is always of mixed race it's so annoying we can never have anything. I hate how people (and it's even more disheartening when it comes from other black women) always say black people can look like anything to further help this erasure. You will have a woman who's great grand dog was black and somehow she's qualified to be a black girl but it's never the same for the boys. Unless you're near charcoal black you aren't a black man. OMGGG and apparently in the new wonder woman comic thing they finally gave nubia her time to shine but they completely ruined it by adding transgender amazonians into the story which to me was honestly a bad idea because it feels like whenever a black girl character is involved in a story it is always politicised and people are going to blame us as if we have anything to do with anything.
I have a love hate relationship with the princess and the frog because I would absolutely poke both of my eyes out for Tiana but her story and movie sucks ASS. it makes zero sense. So they made her struggle her butt off because it was more "realistic" but then her bff in the movie is the daughter of a sugar baron? On top of that her Prince is broker than broke and they didn't even bother to make him from anywhere he is just ambiguously brown. They make her work day and night just for her not to get her restaurant through her own merit. It was the magical crocodile man who intimidated those guys to give her the restaurant.

That kapernig guy basically said that black women and girls were basically going to fight the system or whatever and the comment section was not having it so I'm glad we're not as brainwashed as we were 10 years ago. Also why do they have so many damn movements in their name. All they do is make noise and no real progress why even bother.
I'm starting college this year and I'm so scared that I'll either get a bunch of micro aggressions or people thinking they're doing charity work by talking to me.
Sorry to be so flip floppy but when I first went natural my mom acted like I had just killed someone and she still does but now that I've gotten past awkward length and have a full fro she wants to parade me around her friends like "look how long my daughter's hair is!" "Shes natural, it's all the rage these days, you know?" Every time someone comes over she always brings up my hair for no reason. Rant over unless I think of something else

Honestly for me it was trial and error. I use olive oils when I do hot oil treatments and use acv with water when I wash it. At night I will either put it in a bun or do cordelettes/ African thread stretching, open them back up in the morning and use a water bottle to revert my hair but not shrink it to my scalp. To get a full rounded fro I use a blowdryer on the strands of my hair closer to my scalp and leave the outer circumference of my hair untouched by heat so that I don't change my coils. When detangling I just use a leave in conditioner and water and brush from tip to root. A lot of the time my hair is in braids especially during colder seasons which helps unload the work load lol. I hope this helped <3

I'm not in an interracial relationship (yet) but I have been in an interracial relationships before. Normally when I saw old pics of my (now ex) bf's ex girlfriends I normally think of how better I am i.e how nice my lips are, how curvy my body is, how fun I am with introducing my exes to new activities and my hobbies etc.

Don't down yourself anon, you're probably an amazing person and the fact that your bf is dating you is an improvement compare to the exes he had. Also dont spend too much time dwelling on his exes, just move on and don't think about it.

Does anyone have any advice about how to feel less insecure about my natural hair?

Back in school I used to be made fun of for my hair and hairstyle, I used to either have it in an afro or cornrows. I did ask my mom a few times about getting my hair relaxed and she refused and I'm glad I didn't get it done. Since high school I always been wearing wigs when out in public.

I'm inspired to wear my natural hair out but i have no clue on making it look nice. I also have another problem of my sister pulling my hair every now and then, its too complicated to go into detail, so some parts of my hair is shorter than other parts.

Side note, I kinda relate to the character Missy from Big Mouth. I never really did anything nice and fancy with my hair. My cousin introduced me to wearing extensions but it takes way too long to do and take out.

Ew, please don’t compare black people to those snow barbarians.

I’ve seen other black girls and women get accused of “asian-fishing” because of this fact, it’s really annoying like the reality is that we don’t resemble or look like nasty ass Russians or Eastern Europeans and if there were why would you ever want that?

I used to get bullied in school for having really thick eyebrows (this was back when tweezing your brows down to tiny sperm shapes was popular) and I'm so glad I didn't give in.

Lipstick Alley rant & Lack of black female spaces online rant-

I'm so sick of fonts who become groupies towards other women for having a decent or rich man. I worry about the self esteem of some women on that site, because they genuinely think the biggest accomplishment in life is getting a "high value man" and judge women only on whatever scrote they have and how he treats her. Then I'm not even sure if it's fake "black women" or real black women making some of the most disgusting and discouraging posts anymore.
I'm sick of the constant threads focusing on children.From people justifying why it's okay to call/imply North West is fat, or pretending to be "concerned" about her weight. To freaking out over LeBron's son prom date (while claiming they don't care) and the fact there's a whole thread talking about celebrity children's looks like fucking creeps.
I feel like the site is slowly getting worse. There seems to be a lot of TRA who suddenly popped up. Then there's the gay men who say whatever they want to/about women but get mad, when people talk about troons, gay or bisexual men.
I feel like everything is so male focused. Some fonts don't even hate non-black women because of racism or ill-treatment, it's purely based on them thinking, BM "prefer" them. it's getting to the point where light skinned women with monoracial parents get hate when a bm dates them. Kendrick Lamar's wife is black, but light skinned, yet fonts were dissecting her race & she's not black enough for Kendrick to be "Woke"..
I'm sick of going into threads where the woman is attacked for being chosen by a black man. Almost every non-black woman who dates a BM despite her background or if she's ever said anything about black women, is always getting called, "Basic" and insulted.
I'm sick of seeing young black women being picked apart for the smallest of shit. Or only being praised when they are chosen by men (Lori Harvey) or disliked because they are treated badly by men.
It's becoming the female version of the Coli.
The difference here is I feel solidarity. Even when we don't agree, I know this place is "woman first". Even if we are all different colors and have different opinions. I never feel bad as a black woman or get told, "You'll never be this or that".
It's not scrote based hate if that makes sense.
It's sad because it's not even the scrotes ruining the site for me. It's other women. I wish there was a better place for me as a black woman to discuss shit, without focus on troons or expecting me to be okay with that. It's like the ONE place you can express yourself freely about certain things besides here. I hate the lack of black female spaces online where you can say what you want. Maybe I'm just getting too old.

I’m thankful that it grew thanks to my routine but I’ve gotten tired of maintaining it and I haven’t washed it in two weeks and I’ve been wearing up in a bun during that time, only spritzing it with water and putting some oil and moisturizer in it. I’ll be washing it for my braids and go back to blowouts or flat ironing it when I take them down.I’m not giving up on being natural, I think I just need a break from it for a while

In the U.S. 49% of adoptive parents are white yet black children are overrepresented in foster care (23%).

It makes combing and styling such a pain. I'm over styling it in braids and cornrows because removing those is also a pain.

I was talking to a friend i have online, she's mostly woke and she said to me The amount of black men I run into, that I find out are into trans with penises or like gay/trans porn on social media scares me".
It just made me realize that while We don't have to worry about black moids trooning out unless they are gay, a lot of black moids are either bisexual on the low. I don't know if it's a "pornsick" thing, or if it's just the community CAN be homophobic a lot, but I don't think it's all that. Men can kill, rape and cheat, but they can't come out about their sexuality? I'm so sick of coddling black Downlow moids. Homophobia isn't an excuse anymore, when some of them freely do whatever they want towards women anyway. If you are brave enough to cheat, beat and kill, then you should be brave enough to be honest about your sexuality or date/fuck your "preference" in public.
Dating for some black women in certain areas already is shitty, now I feel like every other dude is a trans chasers or DL in general. Or has multiple kids etc.. I wish I could talk about this more, because I DO believe different women have different unique situations when it comes to navigating the world/men of their race/ethinicty. It just turns into race bait so much and nonnies are rightfully put on alarm, because they think it's a racists moid/women venting.
I just feel like the way I am, and with how pornsick & disgusting men are, I just wish they'd be honest. Let me know whose into what so I can avoid. Where I live has the most bottom of the barrel MOC & I wish I could be attracted/open to other kinds of men, but I know what I truly like. I need to move.

The Megan thee stallion thing is disturbing me to my core. It is a black issue this isn't just simply, "oh a woman being treated like shit because she's a woman"
True. The people attacking her has been the black community. Simply because she's not the perfect victim but get this, Torey isn't the perfect person either.
I'm watching today some rapper who was apart of a a criminal organization get happy responses because he got out, despite the fact the gang he was on being linked to multiple deaths of black people, but meanwhile MtS is a hoe and she lied about sleeping with Torey. So that means we need to not believe her, but a man connected to deaths of black men even if he didn't do it, oh that's okay. Whatever, free young thug! Even if people said he tried to kill someone, free Gunna. Even a confirmed killer, who rapped about the death of a underaged black boy. Was mourned when he passed. Doctor Dre beat black women, who cares.
Da baby killed a black mam and slapped a woman? Who cares.
People can look past their flaws because they like their music but MTS flaws cannot be ignored. Even if she's a pick me, I do not care.
I just feel like crying. Nobody cares about us, even other black women don't care unless we are perfect.
But will throw on a cape for a dick haver. Nonnies got mad at the person in ot who said that black female pick me-ism is different. IT IS.
You know how people look at women who thirst after serial killers? We have confirmed killers who create music or are in violent gangs who are looked up to and idolized. Yet a black woman says she's shot by a man with a violent past and she has to PROVE to us she deserves sympathy and respect. R keys biggest supporters are black women. People don't understand how much support men get in our community and how much women suffer from our brains of pick meism.
I can't describe It but I know what I see and feel.
I know the community I grew up in. It's getting worse for black women. The only community is the black male community and the women who defend them.

my biggest struggle right now is not knowing how to cornrow. cornrowing unlocks so many different hairstyles/crocheting but I can't do it! Did anyone else struggle and learn how? any tips? I've watched so many YouTube videos and I just can't get it

I get so tired of discourse about how other women do their hair. Literally who cares if you're natural, or if you relax, or if you wear weaves, or if you wear wigs. WHO CARES! When when black people get tired of criticizing and scrutinizing other black people for how we do our hair? You can't win either way. Just do what you like. There was a time in my life where I was so deeply insecure about my hair because of stuff like that, that I shaved it completely off. I'm glad I learned to ignore the BS and do what I please. Live and let live.

Nice try, you’re very obviously picking the least attractive people from one race and then picking the most attractive from another race. And you put women with albinism also there, you’re a complete fool.

I'm neither black nor white so I'm not biased but girl, we both know this isn't true. Judging from the foreigners I've seen in my country, most white people are objectively more unattractive and look nothing like the photos you sent. They look MUCH worse than the average black foreigner in my country. I've only seen one or two obese black women in my country for example but %70 of whites I see are obese and literally a disgusting shade of red because they're sunburnt.
It's ok to be proud of your ethnicity or whatever but if you have to pick models for your race and random people with albinism(although fetishized by white supremacists, it's still a birth defect that leaves people vulnerable to skin cancer and such) for black people while arguing about attractiveness, you're probably not attractive.

Also I bet the black women with albinism you posted to mock look 100 times better than you. Even when placed next to literal models, they manage to look cute while your mug would probably look deformed when compared to models.

I agree. I am so grateful for the natural hair movement and for all the education and brands that we have now. My hair is longer than it has ever been in my whole life. But looking at a lot of straight naturals on youtube, they still get a lot of hate for no reason, they all seem happy. I hate that changing something about ourselves so harmless as hair is suddenly self-hate or anti-black. smh. I still view relaxers as the devil though.

Week late, but my cousins always practised them on those doll heads. I really wish i knew how to cornrow myself, so many possibilities and doors close when you don't know how to do it as a black woman and hair dressers nowadays are getting very bougie. Ngl, i only want to know so i can fit a wig on my head lmao.

This post is old as hell so I'm saging but lurking white women wondering: please don't unless you have a lot of black friends or something.

This isn't a black issue but issue for anyone who's not white/from a western culture. There used to be a lot of Germans who adopted muslim kids for example and made them eat pork and drink alcohol against the children's wishes, making a child drink alcohol alone is child abuse. Some parents are just not fit for it but a good adopter family who's willing to learn about a children's culture and such can be a good parent imo.

Is right and nonwhite kids already have a hard time getting adopted(I'm nonwhite as well) so a white family adopting a child is probably better than a child never getting adopted.

No. 327838

Honestly I think adoption is all around predatory and gross. A black kid never getting adopted and ending up alone in the system vs a black kid growing up in an environment where literally no one looks like them or knows what it’s like to navigate life black and what that does to the psyche early on is like being asked to pick between regular shit and diarrhea. But I’m just anti adoption as a whole especially if you look into adoptions origins and how transracial adoptions actually impacts the kids into adulthood. Spoiler it impacts them extremely negatively.

I honestly can’t imagine being forced to be raised by a white family I don’t care how well off they are personally. You’ll never truly feel included even if they do everything right because society will remind you every step of the way you are different from the time you are a kid. Hearing testimonials from transracial adoptees I just can’t condone it. Also I just don’t trust white people who take it upon themselves to adopt black children because it’s rarely black American children they are adopting they would rather wait DECADES to adopt an “African child” than a black American living in equal amounts of squalor here in the USA. They literally adopt Africans or Asians from Asia because it makes them sound like super heroes at dinner parties. It’s gross. Especially when one look into adoption you can see that there are so many black American kids who end up alone in the system anyway because white adopters would rather black children from Africa. Not only are blaxk american kids competing with white children to be adopted they are also competing with black children from Africa and Asians from Asia etc etc. it’s disgusting duck adoption!

Another thing to your final point I don’t believe that. Especially after hearing thst case of the 2 white lesbians adopting a bunch of black kids, treating them like slaves and then killing all of them by driving off a cliff. I’m sure those kids would’ve rather stayed in the system then be subjected to that trauma and terrible death. Again FUCK adoption

>You’ll never truly feel included
I don't know, I feel very included. I'm not black, I'm Peruvian/Mestiza but my family is white. I live in a country full of blonde white people and my parents were very honest with me from the get go about what happened and why I look different. They didn't treat me like a circus freak or have any racist motives, they just wanted a child. If your parents aren't crazy, there's no reason why you as a child of a different ethnicity would suffer more than an orphan.

Do you have any idea how traumatizing it is to be all alone with nobody to care for you? And on top of that imagine living in a shitty orphanage where you may or may not be bullied by kids who were left there for god knows which reasons. And imagine you get really sick, and you're just a kid and can't take care of yourself. And you don't know if you will ever be happy. I have terrible abandonment issues and don't know how I will cope when my mom and dad and older siblings die, I'm so grateful to have this family because only someone lucky and privileged enough to not know otherwise would think orphans fare better on their own.

I'm the poster you're replying to, yeah I agree with you on the matter that adoption is predatory. I've literally seen white women say they'll adopt from eastern euro/asian countries so it'd be harder for the parent to try and reach out if they wanted to. White people who adopt nonwhite children sometimes have really bad intentions and government can take children away from their homes for very minor issues just for the child to get abused/traumatized/etc. much worse in the adopted family or the system.
>>327839
Wtf that's evil. I've also heard of cases like that but didn't know of any that led to murder, adoption is such a dangerous industry, especially for minorities.

I'm the original person who said white people should avoid adopting POC kids. I think I should have explained better. Don't adopt any POC kids unless you're willing to understand the culture and help that kid navigate growing up through it. And yeah, there's actually a heart breaking amount of cases where a white family adopts the black kid to be the "servant" child/treat them like a lesser and don't help them navigate life as a black child. Tbh adoption as a while is fucked and should be an absolute last resort.

>>327855
>I'm not black but
Respectfully, your experience in the system won't be the same as a black kids, because you weren't one. I don't think all white families adopting POC children are ill meaning, but even the most well meaning ones just usually aren't equipped to help a black kid navigate through life as a black person. Unless they have a black friend or spouse or something around. There's a social hierarchy to race, and blacks at the very bottom. Not to be a pessimist or race bait or anything, and this doesn't mean that I feel like a lesser being because I'm black, but I'm definitely aware of the sheer amount of people who believe it and want me to believe it. The whole concept of "code switching" for example.

How do you anons feel about divestors?

I personally think the overall message of only giving time to men who will treat you correctly and not being a servant for men is good, but I think a lot of divestors are actually pretty toxic and parrot trad shit. It's like a lot of them don't think "stop being a handmaiden for men" they just think "stop being a handmaiden for black men" and also blatantly ignore problems with men of other races. I also notice that a lot of them talk down on other black women, and while I think some black women do deserve criticism, I can't really get behind it. I exclusively date interracially so I don't have a problem with that, but I can't vibe with the divest community. But I'm here for more young black women realizing that they don't have to take a bunch of shit and also I hate the people who are anti-divest even more.

I’m sorry but I’ve been living that way my whole life, both my mum and dad have taught me to disengage from the “black community” yes, group with fellow Africans and protect our name, but never make it your one sole goal. We as black people are really on our own here, it’s literally fight to survive and as much as I feel betrayed by black men and their constant scapegoating they do to black women I can’t help but pity them and pray they heal. Beloved by Toni Morrisons really did shift my view on this whole matter

I can see the appeal but, some of them are so bent on completely disengaging from the Black community that they delude themselves into thinking that cheering for far rightoids is their ticket to salvation because they’re, “one of the good ones”. It makes divestors look like a bunch of naïve, hurt women who just want to prove they can bag a non Black guy.

I have a question for you all
>I am white, my husband is Brown (South Asian) but I have several close Black friends that I am embarrassed to bring my husband around because he identifies with Black culture

My husband loves all things Black American and for the most part it's harmless but when my Black friends are around he does not shut up about how brilliant Jordan Peele or childish Gambino is, and stuff like that. It's honestly kind of embarrassing and I'm worried my Black friends are going to hate him. It's especially annoying when he acts like being Brown in America is the same as being Black when it comes to discrimination. His brothers are the same way and I think it's because they grew up in a town with only white people.

My question is, do I need to talk to him about this or am I over thinking it? Is this a known issue that exists and has a name?

Image for attention, he is luckily no where this bad

A lot of nonwhite women believe a random white man is going to come and fix it all because white men aren't as bad(misogynistic) as men from their race, it's not true though. I don't think white men are anywhere as good as most make them out to be. Don't forget that white men have always committed the worst crimes against nonwhite women, don't you know that double eyelid surgery for asian women was literally invented and practiced without any proper painkillers by white American men because they wanted the Asian war slaves they kept to have bigger eyes? Don't you know that they still travel to third world countries to rape underage girls in disguise of sex work? That there used to be an epidemic of white single man coming to Thailand alone and leaving with a baby/kid?
Don't you know how many nonwhite women get hurt by white men and they never get their justice? Yeah black men might be bad but don't trust white men either. Men of all races are dangerous.
I agree with you, the far right weird white men are really insidious as well and I wouldn't trust one of those guys.
