    There are always 3 common assumptions that people here in the U.S. make about biracial Black people, but none of them apply to me. They are:

    1. That we are “racially ambiguous.”
    2. That we are light-skinned.
    3. That we are mixed with white specifically.

    True for many mixed-race people? Sure, but in my case, no, no, and no.

    It makes the “biracial isn’t Black” discourse even more frustrating.

  • Liberals who spent the entire last year cursing us out because of Trump the moment his adminstration does anything: o/o/o/o/o/

    geniunely is there anything he does that they don’t support? they see the most right wing trump supportes in Venezuela and Iran and want them in government

    I can never give anything 100% of my faith, but I seriously hope I found my way out of this job hunt via this agency. It’s been so daunting.

    I have still been applying to other jobs every day, and I even got a few interviews lined up for next week.

    I hope the degree of confidence I feel right now is not misplaced. We’re still in early January, so hopefully things ramp up next week.

    I’m nervous, but this could be very exciting for me.

    Been talking to an adopted Guatemalan diaspora and he’s terrified of ICE atm but his white ass parents aren’t doing anything to prep for them. He’ll tell them his concerns and they’ll assure him they only capture criminals and that he’s not an illegal so he’ll be fine. They aren’t taking it seriously at all.

    Hot take but interracial adoption should not happen for most people doing it. They’re completely unprepared for discussions on race and how it effects their adopted children that they treat like exotic pets.

      It’s not just adopted kids us mixed race kids are getting this shit from our blood relatives who are white, who also like to treat us like exotic pets. They seem to think ICE cares about where you were born or legal status. Now that they shot a white woman, they’re bending over backwards to try and give any explanation that isn’t racist country does racist things.

      “They aren’t trained properly!”

      “He really did fear for his life!”

      “Maybe they weren’t real ICE agents?”

      “They get too much adrenaline going and are under a lot of stress!”

      “Some of them are probably Trump supporters!”

      That line from Raging Grace lives rent-free in my head. “He doesn’t want to love us. He wants to own us.”

      Should not be a hot take, anybody adopting a child of another race/ethnicity should be well known in their culture and issues they may face but people just see it “oh so you want them to stay orphans” or some shit even tho that’s a whole nother sentence.

      Honestly, I agree with your hot take, and it also extends to why I personally no longer date out.

      There seems to be a tendency for people to overestimate just how well they can handle the additional labor inherent to an interracial relationship.

    Hate it when I make a criticism of white leftists and a white leftist goes, “You mean white liberals, right?”

    No. Both of you.

    Subway Takes can be a bit funny and quirky, but I watched an episode just now where a white woman went on and said Ellen DeGeneres should never have been canceled. And somehow that wasn’t the worst take. It was, to paraphrase, she was canceled for being mean. Yeah, sexual abuse and racism is “just being mean”.

    ICE just murdered that lady government just lying about it and people getting more and more disgusted. I had a feeling this was gonna ramp up before too long. I don’t quite know where it ends but part of me is relieved that people see the violence of the system so boldly. Also hopefully realizing how feckless democrats are, Walz could do something but nah Republicans were mean to him so he’s gonna step down as people from his state are being murdered. Even if Trump started rounding up Democrats and offing them these fucks are so used to rolling over I doubt they could muster up anything.

    Let people see amerikkka mask off the way poc always do the-deserter fucking take Greenland maybe the rest of the world will do something when it’s white people on the line

      You gotta hand it to the guy who killed a cop after they killed his son. He’s an american hero.

      You may say an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, I say then don’t take my eye then.

      I want to believe that thing that pushes people over the line, but it also just feels like too many of the people who do care about this are also too easily coopted by the Democrats no matter how many times they show themselves to be feckless fucks. Look at how BLM got coopted by the Democrats back in 2020 only for them to start saying shit like “defund the police” is too controversial. Shit, anyone with some semblance of object permanence should remember how hard Dem candidates were going into increasing funding for the police and securing our borders. Not that I want to be a doomer or even “realistic”. Maybe I can have just a little revolutionary optimism. Every event like this is an event were more people wake up to our realities.

        If not this one the next one where they get more and more brutal, news doesn’t really know how to spin it just yet. When the genocide happens overseas it’s easy for Americans to ignore it but daily in their towns then shit is gonna be too much.

    I found this fake indigenous doing the whole “I’m indigenous and I’m okay with racist depictions. Society is too soft.”

    Exposed his ass as a middle aged white man living in Rhode Island lmao

  • And fr his final magic trick,the puppet master cut his strings, there was no control over his dolls anymore, they were free to move on their own and repeat the same shoe, that’s because the crakkkers really believed in that shit and just needed a lie for it.

    The biggest cope from white people about why they don’t season their food is cause “we enjoy the natural taste of it and don’t need extra seasonings and condiments to hide it” omfg

    • Lmao… do they think the food they ate was godgiven? Not actively brought to their plate.

      Also, if they enjoy the natural taste of it, why do they make shit like surstromming, hakarl, sauerkraut, and coleslaw, why not eat the fish as is, eat the shark fin as is, eat the cabbage as etc?

    Whitey try not to have a whitey moment here on Polyursine challenge level: impossible. Just deliberately being obtuse while strawmanning what PoC have been saying.
