#the silence in black and white

[poprocklyrics]

Hey rise and shine And open up your eyes To give this world some color Shine on diamond eyes Separate the space Between love and lies

The Transition, Hawthorne Heights

[deanwinchestersoftcore]

the eighth track off of hawthorne heights 2004 debut album the silence in black and white.

songwriters: James Woodruff Ii / Matthew Ridenour / Micah Carli / Eron Bucciarelli-tieger / Casey H Calvert

lyrics:

Hey there

I know it's hard to feel

Like I don't care at all

Where you are and how you feel

With these lights off as these wheels

Keep rolling on and on (and on and on and on)

Slow things down or speed them up

Not enough or way too much (and on and on and on)

How are you when I'm gone?

And I can't make it on my own

(And I can't make it on my own)

Because my heart is in Ohio

So cut my wrists and black my eyes

(So cut my wrists and black my eyes)

So I can fall asleep tonight or die

Because you kill me

You know you do, you kill me well

You like it too and I can tell

You'll never stop until

My final breath is gone

Spare me just three last words

"I love you" is all she heard

I'll wait for you

But I can't wait forever

Spare me just three last words

"I love you" is all she heard

I'll wait for you

But I can't wait forever

And I can't make it on my own

And I can't make it on my own

Because my heart is in Ohio

So cut my wrists and black my eyes

(So cut my wrists and black my eyes)

So I can fall asleep tonight or die

Because you kill me

You know you do, you kill me well

You like it too and I can tell

You'll never stop until

My final breath is gone

You know you do, you kill me well

You like it too and I can tell

You'll never stop until

My final breath is gone

So cut my wrists and black my eyes

My final breath is gone

So I can fall asleep tonight

And I can't make it on my own

(And I can't make it on my own)

Because my heart is in Ohio

So cut my wrists and black my eyes

(So cut my wrists and black my eyes)

So I can fall asleep tonight or die

Because you kill me

You know you do, you kill me well

You like it too and I can tell

You'll never stop until

My final breath is gone

You know you do, you kill me well

You like it too and I can tell

You'll never stop until

My final breath is gone

i think a major thing in regards to kink and racial aspects and dynamics is the fact that white people particularly are used to their every desire and comfort and pleasure being prioritised whether they are consciously aware of it or not.... like unfortunately the situation is that most of them believe that kink exists in some sort of bubble.

for example many would not think twice about the implications of wanting to have "taking bbc" be a necessary part of their personal humiliation or transformation or degradation kink. they already live under conditions where they have to put in active effort to be anti-racist. so ofc it never occurs to them that perhaps maybe we are asking them to think critically about the origins of their kinks and why the dynamic might be dubious if not outright racist.

to them its a matter of kink shaming because white pleasure and white comfort comes before respecting black people as humans. this is the way society has functioned for centuries. so of course why would they ever think that there might be more behind the fact that they enjoy raceplay fantasies? because to them its just that, a fantasy. they have never had to question why or how that came be.

Seriously, i implore you to all really really think critically about the way you think about black people sexually, how you want to treat your black partners, and if that may have implications or backgrounds to it that you don't recognize. you need to understand that there are very real reasons behind the fact that we want you to question why it sexually pleasures you to have racial power over us. its not at all the same as for example someone thinking its immoral or repulsive to enjoy kinky sex. we are literally just wanting you to recognise that our people have a history of sexual abuse tied with our history of racial abuse.

like if you have a kinky dynamic with a black partner, are you taking care to consider the implications of why they might not be okay *at all* with being referred to as your slave sexually regardless of the way you intend it? or being whipped? For reasons outside of the fact it doesn't turn us on, but rather that its something that for us, for our people, are things that were used to abuse us?

are you taking care to educate yourself about the history of sexual abuse in racism and slavery? do you actually know that cuckolding has racist roots? have you researched that? do you know how our people were and have been exploited and abused sexually throughout history not just with slavery but minstrely and so on? Did you ever take pause to think about the history that may lie behind raceplay and how maybe, just maybe; that us finding an issue with that kink is not us shaming anyone or trying to suppress anyone's sexuality?

learn to understand *why* we have every right to not feel okay with the fact people get off to the racial abuse and exploitation and dehumanizing of us, regardless of if its just "fantasy" or "roleplay". think about why your first reaction is to claim that your sexual freedom is being stifled, why you think your right to pleasure comes before our right to NOT be treated like this and to NOT view you as a safe person to be around for openly and proudly getting off to it.
