And tbh on that point it’s also that white feminists turn into their alt right mothers QUICKLY when it comes into how black women embrace their sexuality and while WE can have convos on how much of it is nature vs nurture, socialization, etc. even the most well read white person lacks the insight on our community to comment on these things without their racism showing bc, even if they don’t realize it, the lens through which they even SEE these women is skewed.

I wanna make a post talking about how black female rappers like Monaleo or Sexxy Red have helped me with my self confidence and how white feminist are weird and racism towards them but I lack the words to properly communicate it, so I'm left saying white feminists are weird n black female rappers made me feel better and hope a mutual will reblog and add onto it

#lowkey how twerking became intertwined with sexualization and was then co opted and demonized #the ppl who weren’t copying us hated us and nobody has the ability to have a neutral or curious view towards us #that’s kinda what happens when it comes to the tokenization deification and demonization of black women #every single way you see us has SOME propoganda or messaging to it bc it’s rare that y’all are exposed to us naturally #so when it comes to things we say and do it’s difficult for y’all to have nuanced balanced convos without the socialization showing #and tbh even after you unpack all that the unpacking itself should let u know that whatever thought u have on the black community is #unoriginal. a black person has said it better and/or a white person has said it worse #also also a lot of ppl only see us and our culture through their own that copy us #as in see us as costumes to put on act out in and then discard #so that’s a whole layer of opinions formed about our cultures from ppl who’ve never seen us rocking it #that’s how u get a lot of stereotypes about blaccents and nails. that’s how u get hot cheeto girl memes #it’s a white face on it but they’re talking about US #bc they ppl they’re making fun of are copying us and it’s the same lack of respect from each of u that causes discourse amongst y’all #meanwhile NOBODY has a proper or respectful view on the cultural component that are making ur lives so interesting in the first place sad
