"I prefer black girls" , but they weren't actually talking about her:

Whenever someone states they "prefer black women", it always makes me feel some type of way because I know what black women in their head think of. And if such a black woman is to deviate from that racist stereotypical preconception they are suddenly "white washed" or "I wasn't talking about that type of black women". If you don't like ALL black women, don't say you prefer them, it always implies that you think the race has some inherent qualities in physical appearance or aspects of personality you prefer when that's just simply pseudoscience. And this goes for ALL aesthetics black women fall into.

Black women can be anything, and do anything, and don't fit into the mold that society tries to put us into. We are not just sex objects to pleasure you, but we are people that want someone to know our souls, explore our being, and feel a genuine sense of sentiment and longing.

Black women are so much more then the box society consistently tries to put us into. You are beautiful and so much more than that!

EVERYTHING IS RACIST and it's pissing me off

As I began my journey of educating myself on my true history I've begun to learn that not only being black, but also being a woman largely impacts your experiences in every single community.

I get into cosmetics and figure out the entire beauty standard is impacted by the conventional beauty standard of white supremacy, so I'll never find a perfect shade without finding a super niche company.

I go on TikTok and my entire feed is white women after white women, and I would say A FEW black women with proximity to whiteness showing up OCCASIONALLY IF EVEN THAT?! I had to scroll past every TikTok of white women as just like the ones about black women and it took ages to change my feed into just showing back women being beautiful (and noticed how these videos also have significantly less views and likes). The algorithms are LITERALLY RACIST, I like one video of a white women and istg they show me a billion. I like a video of a black women and it takes 100+ liked videos for the algorithm to finally get the picture.

All over YouTube it's just white, I didn't even realize how much white people I was watch until I began to educate myself and show there are black people doing the same things and getting little to no views but are also just as entertaining. (Streaming is different, and is also a good impact on our communities, but I've got my brawl with Black male streamers for sure and their blatant disrespect of black women specifically, or allowing micro-aggressions like people saying the n word with no accountability.)

NOW, I'M A NERD, I'M APART OF THE NERD COMMUNITY?! EVERY FUCK THING IS CATERED TO THE AVERAGE WHITE HETEROSEXUAL CISGENDER MALE?!

I'm literally playing videogames and everyone is white and there is also because I'm guessing DEI a FEW black men IF black women are even showed AT ALL, always doing the bare minimum just because it's a prerequisite like I'm gonna clap my hands for you?! But in general everyone else is white, the MC is white, the FL is white, the whole cast is basically fuckin white?! I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH SUBCONSCIOUS PROGRAMMING THIS WAS DOING AT A YOUNG AGE. But it's also why I was so okay with the racist socialization in videogames and had so much internalized racism. But not only this, but misygony. Holy shit, is it just thing after things, because I've got a black man in my game telling me to go back to the kitchen with his white homeboy saying the n word every other fuckin sentence. And because games are catered to the average white cis hetero male, these black men align THEMSELVES with the male in this equation and subject women to misygony. Women end up becoming a rare community in these gaming spaces because men push them out entirely, and so do black men if they don't confrom themselves into the misygony and bare the racist rehtorics. So not only black nerds rare, but black women that like to play are even more rare since you get little to no representation, the communities are socialized to be racist, homophobic, miysogonstic, and ableist, but black women can't even connect on a gendered or racial level with the media.

*ANIME. ANIME. ANIME. ANIME.*

AGAIN, all white, barely any black people and if any at all because the community is socialized to be racist and the core media is catered to a White Cis Hetero Male audience, racism is abundant and by all God don't let them figure out your a BLACK women in a cosplaying field. They make you feel like they are encroaching on their space so they weaponize misygony and racism to kick you out and make you feel marginalized. Even the characters that are suppose to be Asian are okay for white cosplayers to play but not black people?! They consistently don't accept that their are black characters in anime when they rarely show up (Gaichkuta) they say they aren't black they are Asian, it got so bad the creators had to clarify they are black. Every anime character even if they are Asian are given no Asian features because beauty standards are rooted in white supremacy, so of course we have a blonde blue eyed women being portrayed consistently as the "most beautiful women in the village" and we are in fuckin Japan. THEY CONSTANTLY ERASE ethnic features to appeal to a westernized audience of white supremacy, and whenever they have proximity to actually looking Asian (Hi Score Girl), suddenly it's something that doesn't get popular, they are ugly or the drawing style is bad and that's why they can't watch it.

Romance and movies, I LOVE ROMANCE, BUT OMFG?!

I AM SO FUCKIN SICK OF THIS SHIT, I can't get just black women being portrayed as beautiful in romance at all or some man yearning for her because of fuckin course he has to cheat on her of course she should accept that behavior because by all means that all black women deserve right?! Oh and don't let a black women be portrayed in that way or by all God it must be such a "woke" MOVIE?! NOT IT'S NOT WOKE, YOUR JUST RACIST AND DON'T LIKE SEEING BLACK WOMEN FEATURED IN ROLES LIKE THIS?! My God they when and whine and then once the community whines enough, they stop putting black people in films or narrow it down even more as not in main roles so that the audience doesn't keep bitching about black people being in movies. Then everyone that reviews movies are, who guessed it? White? Hetero? Cis? And oh A MAN?! Who would've thought they'll all think that "First Kill" the lesbian Netflix romance show WITH A BLACK FL MIND YOU was just so bad and had "no chemistry". I'M BOUT TO LOOSE MY MIND?!

And then I complain about wanting black representation and of course it's people listing things that have it when I can list 1 million + (without exaggeration) that doesn't. And how them listing all those things also goes to show that they don't really want to see any more then those things as black people represented in media because they are also FUCKIN RACIST. Out here listing the bare minimum while videogames have a majority white cast with a FEW black characters if any, whereas I've rarely ever seen that black people are the majority with white people being the minority?!

EVERYTHING IS RACIST, you are consistently being subconsciously programmed into a white beauty standard, into racist socialization, into misogonistic reasoning since our black community (yes our black men), HAVE A HUGE MISYGONY ISSUE because it's the only thing that grants them systemic power over us (hop on 2k istg some black men that play videogames are coons). It's why black women make up a significant portion of the domestic violence victims.

And don't get me started on how black women are 40% more likely to get SA'd and make up majority of the underreported SA victims. Not only are we sexualized by our OWN PARENTS and SOCIETY at young ages and often have to grow up faster, but the entire world gives you crazy racial self esteem issues because literally everything is built through racism and catered to white people, it not MAJORITY A WHITE MAN?!

I go to school, I learn history, the history tells me black people were enslaved and murdered (not even half of it) and then they fought for their oh SOOO great country. Then I learn that they let black people into schools in the first place to teach them white washed history, to instill nationalist rhetorics highly associated with white supremacy, and to get black people to minimize their own systemic oppression so that people like Malcolm X would stop appearing. As I do research and find black women in ideological books that still impact our socialization today, that we are just "hyper sexual" as a reason to place our bodies on breeding farms... And not just that, but also... HIGHLY inappropriate slave and master relationships that were abundant (George Washington...). I can't even learn my own history in a place of education because it was also made for the average, WHITE, heterosexual, cisgender, MALE.

Then even in our own history, black revolutionary's like Assata Shakur are erased, and how Martin Luther King was also a miysogonst, so don't forget as a black women now you've gotta be suspicious of WHO'S rights they are fighting for and by all means don't be fuckin black queer and a women.

I LITERALLY CAN'T STAND THIS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT, the more I learn the more I see the more I literally feel so suffocated and no one understands because I need more black friends, and all the nerd communities are racist asl, and black men are too miysogonstic. I can't do literally anything without ruining into miysogony, or racism, or homophia. And by all God, don't be a black queer women because at that point, every single bit of lesbian or bisexual media also is just white women... And on top of that our own community constantly shuns black queer people which also adds to our marginalization. I just can't anymore.
