Oo. I’ve got stories, people.
SCARED BUT DOING IT ANYWAY.
ribzberry asked: Me first what? I am seriously asking. I didn't even bother asking on anon. I'm African-American and I'm genuinely curious what you're doing about what you're complaining about.
ribzberry asked: Okay I see everyone fucking complaining about "white people this and white people that and black injustice this and black injustice that" but I want to know what the hell is everyone complaining doing to make sure everyone has what they need and to fix the injustices. It's not enough to sit online and complain about every little thing, ya know.

sapphrikah: Why are there only white womyn (besides maybe, Carmen de la Pica Morales) on this site, for the most part? I sincerely want to know.
sapphoria: Dunno. I post what I find. When I find images of cute women of color together, I post them. Maybe there aren’t that many out there. Why do you have mostly blacks on yours?
sapphrikah: Lol, "blacks." Because there are a MYRIAD of messages in the media constantly promoting a eurocentric standard of beauty. Light skin, slim facial features, straight hair, light hair, light eyes, etc. It is little known to the white population but the amount of damage done to the self-esteem of blacks alone is astounding. We live in a white world, where you are guaranteed to be able to find yourself as a white person represented on television, in novels, you name it. It has done so much damage in fact that among us there is a stigma against darker people, who are often said to be more ugly by our very own peers. Our hair as it would grow naturally, kinky and nappy, has become taboo. “Nappy” is very much a bad word in our communities. Over 90% of black womyn in America get a perm or a weave to have more Eurocentric assimilating hair before they’re even old enough to say now. We are brought up hating what sets us apart from that standard of beauty, in a self-loathing, internalized-racist mentality. It is important, once this is noticed, for many of us, including myself, to reinforce the fact that we too are and can be beautiful. I don’t go out of the way to fill my blog with white people because we have enough white-worship going on, we have been told enough that white people are beautiful. I find beauty in black bodies and make it known, so that others can realize we have it just as much as any other race does. And quite frankly, we clearly have enough mediums chock full of white people, my blog doesn’t need to be another one. Nice try, though.

Guys, ACTA does not go into effect tomorrow, nor is a vote happening tomorrow. While the petition on AccessNow is, I’m sure, an extremely impressive benchmark (100,000, guys, we did it!) we don’t need 100,000 signatures or 150,000 or whatever number they’ll adjust it to when they hit 150,000 (as they should, because they’re trying to drum up support, and numbers breed urgency.)

Y’all know the fee fees of way too many white women are seriously harmed every time a man so much as thinks about black women as attractive. Yes, even when black men do it. You didn’t think that cultural meme about black women being ugly was really created & perpetuated by white men did you?

tangent to vulnerability post
Can I say I have had man upon man just weep about why their white girlfriends have hurt them and heart broken them
but never had them say I will never date another white woman
But had the same dudes who haven’t been with a sister seriously Bill Clinton talk bout why the can’t commit to Black women.

Same Time Equal Measure - On Vulnerability
In my more nihilist moments , my favorite saying is there has to be a diety with an AMAZING sense of humor to give me THIS body and this Sensitivity.
I think a lot of my vulnerability “issues” are centered around my body and my experience and perception of people reacting to this body.
