Liberals on tumblr in 2016 when one would have a nuanced life experience that they could not project their own onto & categorize into rigid boxes based on their own life experiences:

#bleats #tfw you’re a dark skinned black woman who benefits from featurism #and also texturism #sorry for like… not ticking all the boxes #but me not having 4C hair doesn’t invalidate me being black lmfao #I’m not lying for clout on the internet just because I grew up in the suburbs lmfao my bad #I’m not ‘trying to be white’ just because I talk the way I do oh my god lmaooo #it’s either you’re damned if u do damned if u don’t when you’re a dark skinned black ‘exotical’ or whatever y’all calling it now 🙄#just let me live lmfao #just let black women live holy shit oh my god #I would have gotten shit for having 4C hair too #it’s genuinely insane how quickly ppl switch up the second they learn I don’t have 4C hair #lol rawr x3 don’t project your internalized racism onto me lol rawr x3 #being a scene/alt girl doesn’t mean I’m ’trying to be white’ leave me alone holy shit #it’s so weird being a dark skinned black girl with a multiracial background #and then being called racist because u casually acknowledged your own existence #but if you hate yourself this means I’m bragging right? right??? lol #it’s either you’re lying for clout or someone’s projecting their own internalized racism onto u #like I’m not taking accountability because my existence triggered your own internalized racism dude #we’re the most phenotypically diverse group of ppl #and y’all are usually cool with this #until an ‘exotical’ (🙄) is confident in our existence #then SUDDENLY your canon event (me having the audacity to exist and be confident about it)#like why immediately cry out ‘internalized racism!’ the second I say I like my own hair texture #where tf did I ever put down any other hair texture bro #and god forbid when they find out my sister is a natural blonde holy SHIT the masks are OFF #god Also for-fucking-bid u see a photo of our grandparents #then here comes the projection #sorry u saw a random ass family photo and got triggered lol sorry #also if u lack reading comprehension lol u can’t scapegoat light skin privilege lol whatcha gonna do
