The Proud Family: dark skinned men, light skinned women. dijonay, the only dark skinned girl, is portrayed as "ghetto" and "rachet" alongside her entire family. and suga mama, who can be argued is dark skinned, is portrayed as mean, cruel, and abusive. additionally, trudy, the mother, comes from an entire family of dark skinned people. yet she herself is portrayed as very much light skinned.

The problem is there. You see it. This whole "we're all black at the end of the day" bullshit is the exact mindset hollywood uses to justify the erasure of dark skinned women. None of this will EVER be okay. And the fact that y'all consistently find the same goddamn excuses to justify shit like this is exactly why dark skinned people don't fucking trust y'all.

As someone around for 9-11 and the "NEVER FORGET NUMBER #1 GREATEST TRAGEDY EVER IN HISTURY" response to it I am in thrilled and invigorated by the fact that younger people just make amogus memes and TikTok nonsense about it. A huge chunk of America cared more about it than any entire genocide and thought you would cry learning about it. They hoped it'd make every generation patriotically angry forever and ever and want to join the military. Instead you Photoshop the towers into squidwards house and shit. Never stop lol

biphobes are like "It's disgustingly misogynistic to base a woman's entire identity around men/her relationship with a man and assume that all things she does is for men and that she has zero identity outside of the men around her. but it's perfectly fine to do that to bi women of course ❀️"

Completely agree, I don't like celebrating the 4th and Thanksgiving personally either because of it's history. I just found it quite strange that all of the sudden people started protesting the 4th when their rights were being taking away, and not because they don't make sense as holidays to celebrate.

We Cannot Celebrate Independence Day When We As Women Just Lost Our Own Independence.

We cannot celebrate Independence Day when we as women just lost our own independence.

Boycott the 4th of July and turn it into a day of action for reproductive rights. We WILL take back our rights.

Our lives and liberty depend on it.

I'm not gonna lie I'm not really a fan of when people who aren't bi make slutty bisexual jokes unless it's with friends who they're comfortable with like that is. a thing that we are stereotyped for and it is actually a thing that makes people hate us and puts us in danger. so.
