Powerful New Video Tackles Racial Bias To Remind Kids Their ‘Black Is Beautiful’

A new video released Monday titled “The Talk” compellingly tackles the impact of racial bias through the lens of black parents in America.

This video accurately displays what it is like to be black in America. It shows the conversations all black parents have with their kids to keep them safe and to encourage them to fight the racist society. And it’s heartbreaking that parents need to remind their kids that their “Black is beautiful”.Society needs to change and time has come to talk about this.

My dad wholeheartedly believes that I brought demons into our house by watching american horror story. Like real actual demons ready to attack at any time.

When I was little my parents taught me that saying jehovah out loud would scare the demons away. And Jehovah’s Witnesses “aren’t superstitious”.

God I have a tonne of these stories. Like as a kid my entire congregation would tell this story of an evil demonised cabbage patch doll walking and talking and bullshit and apparently it could only be stopped by shouting “JEHOVAH!!!” 3 times and quoting a specific verse in the bible (the actual verse changed between teller). And when I was 14 I bought this little book by Doreen Virtue because it was about like otherkin and genderlessness and this really spoke to my queer little isolated self. But when my mum found it under my mattress she made me burn the book and accused me (not for the last time) of not only bringing demons into the house but actually being a demon myself. And an uncle who works in the building industry legit refused to work on the old cinema complex after a week because he got spooked and “all the bad movies had obviously brought demons into building”. The store that sells sports and camping gear is likewise demonised because the previous business owner was apparently in a poly relationship or something idk. Honestly when I left I was shocked to discover how much effort jw’s put into finding demons in everything compared to your average person.

My dad always tells this story of how his sister bought a bunch of dolls at a garage sale or something one time and it turns out they were all possessed by demons. So they took all my aunt’s dolls from her, put em in one big pile, and lit them on fire. Only they didn’t burn. For hours

Naturally the next step was to call the elders and collectively pray, begging and pleading with Jehovah to smite the evil dolls once and for all. It took hours and hours of intensive prayer before they even started to burn

My dad swears she secretly kept a few of the dolls and the house was haunted ever since. And just because I don’t see demonic possession in my day to day life doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen daily in *Other Countries*. And then he told me a bunch of graphic horror stories about it so I would have a healthy dose of fear of the invisible demons that could be anywhere, anytime, Even In This Room. I was seven

I have never heard of anything like this from my ‘congregation’ but to be honest no one really spoke to me and I never really spoke to them. But I do remember my parents saying that before they were in the ‘truth’ they used to read supernatural books or what not and that when they joined the religion they burnt the books because they couldn't ‘in good conscience’ sell or give them to a charity shop. But they never burnt. So satan was protecting them or something like that. Satan is in control of all the supernatural and bad things man.

Sigh.

ok this is “earring magic ken” who was introduced in 1992 (and discontinued shortly thereafter)

basically mattel had done a survey and discovered that girls didn’t think ken was “cool” enough

SO someone had the bright idea to research coolness by sending people to raves which, at the time, were mostly hosted & attended by gay men. so they went to these raves and took notes on what the fashions were and finally landed on this outfit, mesh shirt & all

this doll became the best selling ken doll in history, mostly because gay men bought it in droves. (many of them said his necklace was supposed to be a cockring) but mattel and a number of parents weren’t very amused and discontinued the doll

OH MY GOD YOU’RE LEAVING OUT THE BEST PART

SO

MAGIC EARRING KEN. This bitch gay as HELL. supposedly the aforementioned rings on him are for “magic earrings” and clip on charms. These charms are advertised as totally COMPLETELY heterosexual, not gay at ALL, see there’s a Barbie that also has Magic Earring Action with clip on charms! Ken wears them to match, because he’s STRAIGHT

Here’s the issue: THERE IS NO MATCHING BARBIE. Magic Earring Ken is out here straight up wearing cock rings on his jacket with a thinly devised advertising ploy to make it SEEM not-gay. But it’s DEFINITELY GAY. (And if you’re thinking, why cock rings? Well way back in 1992 gay culture was HUGE on wearing cock rings, it was the in-style. Everyone who was gay wore one, even women; you sewed them to your leather jacket, and the placement indicated some of your sexual preference. In case you were wondering, Ken is a Bottom.)

AND IT GETS BETTER. Magic Earring Ken was on the shelves for six weeks before they pulled him. In that short amount of time? Magic Earring Ken became the BEST SELLING Barbie Doll Mattel has EVER SOLD. LET THAT SINK IN. SIX WEEKS. And now every time these wheezy old hetero windbag execs go to look at their sales board, they’re forever haunted by Magic Earring Ken at the top of their charts.

Gay as hell, Cock Ring Bottom Ken, the Best Selling Mattel Doll. Pride.
