It is interesting theyre only commenting on her blackness when she's biracial and wears a blow out 24/7...
My apologies for the joke I made last session
I'll be quiet on that if I can't curb my behavior...
What's the line on food insults (banana, coconut, Oreo)? For example, calling someone a banana is mostly an insult on how that Asian person is whitewashed and isn't in touch with their roots. Is there a difference between saying a POC is whitewashed and saying a POC is not a POC due to X reasons because those are two very different things to me.
Or is your point that even though Harris has shitty politics, she isn't particularly whitewashed and is just a Black/Blasian woman with terrible politics?
That's cool. I think it's important to have a consistent and explicit line.
call kamala a coon if you want but saying shes less black because shes a ghoul is inherently antiblack...black people are human not a monolith hivemind, black people can be evil like any other human and it doesn't make them less black. it can make them a traitor to their community but its important to know that respectability politics WONT work. you can never bow and scrape your way out of blackness.
E X A C T L Y !
I have been on that tip for awhile. The whole "BLACK EXCELLENCE®©™" thing to me is exactly this. Becoming the first black CEO of a Nightmare Industry MEGACORP doesn't make one less black at all, it just means your black, and it means your evil. You're not evil because your black, and your blackness doesn't shield you from your evil.
I don't like how everything to meme but it's literally the " 👏 MORE 👏 WOMEN 👏 DRONE 👏 PILOTS 👏" thing.
Me wearing traditional clothes: who would've thought that wearing clothes made by people who are used to this climate is actually very cool in this climate.
My favorite thing to do is borrow traditional clothes from climates similar to mine. Most mexican ranch clothes is great for the heat but good for the cold. But then I found a Keffiyeh and it’s used in very wide temperature range desert. Is perfect for the mornings and late in the day since you can cover more of your head.
Stupid, huh...
Edited: In my view, I thought if ye're near a vineyard, getting the grapes there should be cheaper
I thought the same logic applied to those clothes
the stuff uses materials and properly paid workers doing manual labor and skill, unlike a tshirt made in a nike sweatshop
idk how to describe this feeling too well, but like, sometimes it just feels weird being a brown man in a white man's world. some wonder bread ass mfers can just go anywhere they want, actively change and warp places, culture, even memory for nothing more than their idle enjoyment
i'm just in a weird position in life where i feel my lack of social mobility and see people born to so much more than I was and feel paralyzed i guess? is god a white supremacist? why does it feel like every place that had the misfortune to be colonized is doomed to die like this. so many people hurt because they were born in a place that was too beautiful for them, for the bad luck of being born in a place near a beach. that's all it took for americans (tho many others) to continuously destroy so many
I know right, and if you manage to be one of the lucky ones who goes out and sees the world you'd get called a slur, you'd get checked by airports and you won't afford shit in that country if it's a global north one.
We should call them "American't"
You know, because they can't destroy us all.

Nice Makan, though its more of evenin' here...
The last two months have been torture for me overall.
But today I had... hope, perhaps even a positive turning-point.
But we shall see...
its fine to attack kamala for being a bad person and what not yall but please make sure you are checking yourself for brain worms yall you are not immune to misogynoir. think "if a leftist black women came here and read my comment, would she feel uncomfortable?"
That's literally been my whole deal with Kamala since day one. Attack her for all her bad political choices and how she upholds the status quo, do not attack her for being a woman or being black or being a black woman. It's that simple. Viciously critique her on the stuff she says and does, other stuff just seems unnecessary. All this "is she black enough" or is she "too black" or the alterative "woman enough/not woman enough" is all plainly wack to me. She's a cop, deeply uncharismatic, and generally everything wrong about the modern DNC, that's all more than enough to dunk on her for in my book. All the "IDENTITY™©®" stuff I think one can leave out without losing any meaningful argument.

I have been going to my local library and checking out a ton of books on nerd shit. Trying to get more well-read and reading a bunch of more this year. My plan is to write my own video game world full of cool nerd-ass lore with cool pro-black undertones and themes in a fantasy realm without the lame "this thing X is obviously just the author's stand-in for black thought". As such I'm just reading more em_poc fantasy authors, and there are a TON (which is both cool and good). It's crazy how easy it is finding the types of books, just going to my local library and asking the staff.
Go to your local library, it rules.
Reminder:
Local libraries are under attack nation-wide.
Please patronize them and hopefully work at them or get elected to your library board, idk
Libraries are attacked by evangelicals. Want to be anti-evangelical? Be pro-library. 😎
there are also divesters who insist that "divesting" from black men is the key to happiness and if they can only find a nonblack (ideally white) they would treat them well,
I swear every community has some equivalent of divestors. At the end of the day, they all spew a bunch of bullshit just to say they only want to date white dudes. I suppose it works out because the POC men are better off without them. Feel sorry for their kids though because you know their kids are going to be fucked up.
They are mad at the patriarchy isn’t working for them the way they want it to
What does this even mean for them? Like dudes fetishizing black women more and treating them as a trophy wife?
also reading a book on pre-colonial African history. it makes a good point on how (usually) Western historians rely on archaeological information (remaining structures, their age and design, etc.) that created a portrayal of distinct tribes as seemingly living as one large group because those structures were still intact (conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa were generally far smaller, over minor issues and were quickly resolved).
ironically makes a point on the heavy overlap between Western imperialism and cultural assimilation through the destruction and erection of their own cultural symbols over others.
I hate to admit it but that 2 week T break I took was so fulfilling. I learned a lot about my habits and made some adjustments now so I can have a healthier relationship with the devils lettuce. Even if it's 5 days or 1 day, a T break can teach you a lot. Also what helped my break was knowing it wasn't forever, so there was something to look forward to at the end of it : ).
I don't smoke so I couldn't be much help on such a question, best I'd suggest is that when you're trying to cut back you aught find a healthy, productive, or enjoyably distracting to do whenever you feel the urge to vape and slowly work on making it a habit that replaces vaping
I usually floss my teeth when I get an urge to stuff something in my mouth.Yeah I usually use these critters because I can bite the end and hold them in my teeth like a pipe and sorts larp around the house like I'm a crusty old revolutionary

3 weeks into my third wolf session (over 2 months) and my 360 waves are finally properly developing!
- the waves on my front-left and front-right are very deep (all the hairs form a wave pattern if i brush a little). sleeping on one side probably helped a lot too.
- the waves on my back are more "wavy" than waves so not very deep.
- find it difficult brushing the back bc you have to curve each stroke down your head (try it if you don't understand) rather than just pushing the brush in one direction otherwise you miss most of your hairs.
- the waves on my front are like a month behind the rest of my hair lol. not very visible but they're getting there. idk why bc brushing that side is so simple compared to the other angles but my guess is sleeping on my back and sides and not my front made a huge difference over time
my focus now is on my front and back waves to get them to catch up with my front sides. after that i think i should be good for another cut but i'll wait it out and maybe switch to a harder brush. i'm also experimenting with 2 rather than 1 weekly wash-n-style's so hopefully that helps too!
Every once in a while I see a post from a liberal and remember "oh shit they really think Arabs behead women for drinking soda"
Soda's a nice drink tho (without the sugar and unneeded chemicals, at its base, soda is carbonated water)
And it's not haram, what's the deal with those libs? Are they Frnsy*, in particular?
