throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!

The whole issue with men of color making posts being like, “I didn’t set the patriarchal system up!” is that they’re so focused on white women that they are completely erasing women of color from these conversations. Because if they had to include women of color into these conversations, they’d have to acknowledge that yes, they are oppressors. If they don’t think any deeper and just keep defaulting to ‘white women’, they dodge accountability.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Is it not enough to intensely daydream a fanfic in painful, emotional and visual detail constantly for over a week? Must I also convert it to doc/word format as well?

The latest DTIYS by @creatingblackcharacters!! I WAS SO EXCITED ABT THIS ONE I'VE ALWAYS LOVED ELMO SO MUCH!!! Elmo and Big Bird are my favorites!!

To start, I planned out his outfit to fit the color theme of the logo!! I matched his little shoes and durag to the iconic Elmo red, which I think really ties the whole look together!

Next I gave him a dark and vibrant brown skin tone, and big brown eyes! As a child, when watching different kids cartoons, I always thought Elmo and Little Bill were similar in personality, they were both very joyful and funny, so I did take some inspiration from Little Bill as well!!

I hope y'all like my take on a human design for Elmo, I had a lot of fun creating this design and remembering how much I love Sesame Street and the cartoons I watched as a kid!

Another issue with big power imbalance ships like master x slave, colonizer x colonized, boss x employee, rich x poor etc is that they don’t treat the oppressive systems that cause these power imbalances as… oppression, they treat them as obstacles to the love birds’ romance, not something that degrades oppressed ppl, not something that those in power benefit from.
