CH. 5 YOUR TURN FIELDWORK

Examples of How Is Race Constructed Around The World

●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～

Hypodescent

In the book it said that Hypodescent  is “Sometimes called the “one drop of blood rule”; the assignment of children of racially “mixed” unions to the subordinate group”. Coming from a black woman specifically African American, in our culture we always categorize the different shades of being black. And one of the shades that get talked about a lot is mixed people. Even though they are half black, they are still black but people still sometimes don't categorize them as black which is weird. For example Barack Obama is mixed, his mother is white and his father is African. And I honestly never knew he was mixed with white, I would always hear that he’s not American and something else. But he is American but is just mixed with black and white.  And this has to do with Hypodescent because even though he has some white to him he’s still black and he will be categorized as a black man.

●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

Microaggression

In the book it states that microaggression is “Common, everyday verbal or behavioral indignities and slights that communicate hostile, derogatory, and negative messages about someone’s race, gender, sexual orientation or religion”. As a POC Woman, we always have microaggressions thrown at us. Speaking for the black woman we always deal with different types of microaggressions and in the Tiktok you will see that people say that “you're pretty for a black girl” or “you sound too proper for a black girl”, which is very rude and weird. Those videos represent microaggression because we are being asked very negative questions about our culture and we are not being respected because we don’t act like stereotypical black people.

●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

Whiteness

Now in the book it says that whiteness is “ A culturally constructed concept originating in 1691 Virginia, designated to establish clear boundaries of who is white and who is not - a process central to the formation of U.S racial stratification”. Now recently this new show or documentary of Jeffrey Dahmer came out on Netflix, and me personally I haven’t watched it but from what I’m seeing on social media is what I’ll be basing my info on. Now the reason why I decided to write about Dahmer for the term whiteness is because I feel like him being white is the only reason why he got away with his crimes, and others feel the same. He would target gay, POC, minors, and men or even all of the above, he also lived in a low income area were mainly POC’s lived. And because of where he lived and the type of people (POC) who would call and complain about him to the police, they really didn’t care and ignored them until it was too late. This has to do with race because the police refused to listen to POC’s problems that they had with him because they simply didn’t care about us and this led to him thinking he’s getting away with it and continuing. And we can tell to this day people still don’t care about us because they made this show without notifying or consenting to the victims families as you can see from this tweet.

Jim Crow

Jim Crow is defined as “Laws implemented after the U.S Civil War to enforce segregation legally, particularly in the south, after the end of slavery”. Both of my media represent the Jim Crow laws because of how segregated these pictures are. During those times white people would treat African Americans terribly and didn’t want to see us as equals. So they would separate us from everything and treat us like dirt.

●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

Racism

Racism is “Individuals thoughts and actions, and institutional patterns and policies that create or reproduce unequal access to power, privilege, resources, and opportunities based on imagined differences among groups”. These pictures represent Racism by speaking up and voicing what we are feeling and how we are not trying to start problems but trying to end them and be treated as equals. 

●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

White Supremacy 

White Supremacy is “The belief that whites are biologically different from and superior to people of other races”. These pictures represent white supremacy because white racist white people only listen to idotic people and they tend to take things to the next level. And they did that by storming the capital because of Trump and displaying terrible actions and how they feel about this country and also showing who they really are.

I was tagged by the lovely @ceraunos on this WIP tag game (a month ago 🙈, I am so sorry!)

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and i’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it! (I'll just do that here 💕)

I'll skip over my current WIP (Chapter 3 of Pwimo), since it's almost done and y'all probably want to read what's coming up? Well here we go (in hopeful order) 😘

Miracoli - a Daan x Paolo fic for @yogurtfordinner

Paolo considered Italia to be the miracle of his life.  He wasn't about to contemplate the ludicrous idea that he could somehow earn more than one in his lifetime.  

Yet Daan was very persistent.

Coming ~July / Rated M / Multi Chapters

Untitled - Twilight AU/Omegaverse Joe x Nicky

This is total fan service for myself but I'll be giving shout outs to @scimitar-and-longsword @pigsinablanketfort @disregardandfelicity for allowing me to run plot ideas by them like two months ago without laughing me out of the server. No summary yet, but I got outlines, and moodboards already 🙃

Coming ~ July / Rated M (maybe Explicit) / Multi Chapters

Untitled - Lucio × Derek - the second favorite pair of Endless Ocean ❤

Y'all asked for it, you're getting it ~ a little insight to how those two became a couple and with a sweet little ending featuring Joe and Nicky's wedding 🤵🏽🤵

Coming ~ August / Rated Explicit / Oneshot (maybe two parts? But lol, defiantly not some 250k mammoth!)

I also have no less than three ficlets I'm working on for a server bingo event I'm participating on in Discord but ssshhhh you'll see those next month 🙃

But continuing down the calendar . . .

Untitled - Angelo x Paul (Trust FX)

It's basically a fix it fic and so niche I'm fairly certain there's only one other fic of this pairing on A03 but oh well 👀

Coming ~ August / Rated M / Oneshot

Codename Bee Tits

A crack fic for Joe x Nicky going undercover, and yup, it's as ridiculous as it sounds because Nicky is going to play the role of the Honeypot and his multilingual brain gets the word confused for Bee Tits. Has my bilingual brain done this? Yessss.

Coming ~ August / Rated M / Oneshot

Untitled - Joe x Nicky Modern Cult AU

This will probably be the darkest thing I have ever attempted to write. And my goal is to finish it before I even start uploading it. But it's based on this kink prompt, about a Cult AU and involves murder and Cult mentalities and even grooming and sexual abuse. None of those things will be explicitly described in my fic, but the idea is an exploration about how to move forward from something like that. How to share your story, when you were never taught the words in the first place? How do you have a healthy, positive, sexual relationship when you have only experienced negative ones?? There will be some deep exploration happening here, and a little nod to both the American psychology community, as well as charities and programs who assist Cult members who are trying to leave.

Coming ~ September / Rated Explicit / Multi Chapters

That's it (so far!)

I also have been diving into digital art, crack art, and icons so you might see more of that over the summer if I get a little braver haha. But I hope y'all stick around because I definitely am excited to see what you think of the fics above 💕

Also, I may or may not have considered an Andy x Quynh prequel for the Purpose of Art, and might do that for the next femslash event ❤

Okay, I've tagged a bunch of people today, so I'm actually gonna leave this one open for any followers who might like to share what they're hoping to dive into next 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
