I know it seems kind of futile sometimes to report pedos on this hellsite but it really REALLY makes a difference if you see child porn or even something you think might* be child porn (this includes!! Drawings/art) then report it to tumblr and https://report.cybertip.org/

How Hollywood casts black familys

Parents

Son

Daughter

[jazzisback-deactivated20190120]

Is there a sociological reason on why this is repeatedly done?

[warmhoneyy]

Colorism. A happy, successful black family? The women must be light skinned. Especially the young women

[jazzisback-deactivated20190120]

oh I know colorism is the base cause, I mean why specifically does the young woman in the family have to be light? is this some twisted fetish? the mom is always a medium brown, afro-american lady. The daughter is always mysteriously mixed, but not all women in the family look like her just her alone

[warmhoneyy]

I think that it has to do with what characteristics are most valued at different ages and the characteristics associated with dark and light skin tones. I think it’s no coincidence that the older a black woman is in the media the more likely she is to be dark skinned. Not always, but a lot of the time the grandmothers are darker skinned. That’s because the most valuable thing as an older woman is being a caregiver and that is one stereotype associated with dark skin tones. (I feel like this goes back to the “Mammy” archetype.) But as a young woman the most valuable characteristic is beauty. Our society sees racial ambiguity as the most beautiful thing so our young black women characters are never made to look like they are actually black. And if she’s the main character of course she has to be the most beautiful so they probably make all the other women darker than her to make her seem more beautiful. I feel like I’ve seen this a lot in tv shows where the “estranged sister” is dark skinned.

[alovesogentle]

They also don’t consider dark skin feminine. Being a woman and being dark skinned is a literal oxymoron for them.

[sauvamente]

Yes. And if she is cast as dark skin she is abused to high fucking heaven or casted as a sapphire(angry) jezebel( promiscuous) or mammy(eternal caregiver) rarely three dimensional

[acceber74]

One of THE worst examples is Coming to America, where the light skinned daughter was refined, classy, and sophisticated, and chaste compared to her over-sexed younger sister who was darkskinned, always trying to fuck, and generally all the negative stereotypes rolled into one.

[dontwantthenextcommanderiwantyou]

Another horrible example is the sitcom Martin, where the light skinned girlfriend was refined, classy, and sophisticated compared to her dark skinned friend who can’t keep a man, was loud and obnoxious, always humiliated for having beady beads, and generally all the negative stereotypes rolled into one.

[dontwantthenextcommanderiwantyou]

Colorism even exists in animated series like The Proud Family where the light skinned Penny was refined, classy, and sophisticated compared to dark skinned Dijonay the “fast ass lil girl”, bad influence, named after mustard with 8 siblings named after spices, and generally all the negative stereotypes rolled into one.

Trump put out a full page in the paper for these guys to be sentenced to death even after they were released.

Edit: For those that keep asking for sources.

Look up Central park 5 + Trump

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_jogger_case#Accusations_by_Donald_Trump

Years later he still maintains that they should have been put to death despite being aware that DNA evidence had exonerated them and that the guy who actually did it came forward.

This is the opposite of those “oddly satisfying images”

[bogleech]

it’s funny and all but it’s also an example of how corporations will cheat people in every single possible way they are legally able to get away with if there isn’t any system of regulation to protect consumers.

[bogleech]

You know the evilest thing about this though is that in many cases the packaging costs the company just as much to manufacture as the product inside, so it’s not even a cost-cutting measure at the production level. It really is just to trick you so you’ll pay more for a larger looking item and then have to buy a new one sooner.

[zooophagous]

Instead of a blanket ban on plastic straws can we start by banning overly large packaging? This isn’t just deceptive, it’s also incredibly wasteful. And unlike straws, nobody needs bulky and difficult packaging that’s twice as large as it needs to be.
