i love being called pretty in general but i especially love it when other black girls call me pretty like yes, yes i am pretty and so are you. we’re both so pretty. look at us pretty black girls being aware of our prettiness. i love it
YES!
race
Honestly.. When PoC get to an age where they are able to deeply realize and internalize how intensely and directly racism affects them, as well as able to recognize the little racial microaggressions against them, it truly IS a traumatic experience. Its draining and depressing and painful and scarring. It can very easily make you lose the will to do anything or dream anything. And that is something that whites will never experience, thus never understand how deep this goes.

BUT DO PPL NOT REALIZE HOW REVOLUTIONARY IT WAS TO HAVE A QUIRKY, ALTERNATIVE BLACK GIRL ON A FAMILY SHOW IN THE 80S/90S?

Strong Black Woman is what I do, not who I am
StandardHow to explain to White subs that it’s not a compliment to me when they say Black women seem naturally dominant.
I’m so tired of them slinging that two bit compliment, and I’m not even tryna be a smartass right now. I’m tired like hurt-feelings-tired. Like, JUST STOP, because I’d rather you said nothing about me being Black than say that.
Let’s start with the fact that dominance in a BDSM context isn’t even close to pervasive enough to spread across Black women as a whole, so what they are really talking about when they say “naturally dominant" is the Strong Black Woman trope, which is A Thing many of us have developed to cope with life. Coping is not an attempt at domination; it’s an attempt at survival.
Great look at the true complications of being the Strong Black Woman. I think it’s 100% applicable both inside & out of the bedroom.
I’m more sub than dom, but I think much of the reason I submit is to have a separate space where I can be truly vulnerable, a space that doesn’t feel like real life. And some of the difficulty I experience in occasionally topping my partner rests in our racial differences…
