#Black men have not given u any more ‘ femininity ‘ than nonblacks.

[blueiight]

honestly have black women even got black male attention on tv? its been mostly ls/nbw, while black women in media were often one dimensionally regarded in the same 4 old controlling images within ‘black’ targeted media & outside ‘black marketed media’ i rmbr growing up all the black sitcoms thatd dog out the black girls that were darker, bigger, anything other than light & slimthick. like both the characters & the rl actresses who played them! girl dramas w/ ls mcs w/ ds charas in the periphery with no interiority or any sort of character arc who could be replaced interchangably. maybe im fixating on semantics like i always do but w/ blade 1998 if dr jenson was a lsw or a nbw she wouldve been unambiguously blade’s love interest but bc dr jenson is a bw its treated like subtext…. and thats why it was my gay awakening.
