“Tell me what happens the first time you see a woman naked.” “The first time you see a woman naked will not be like you imagined. There will be no love, no trust, no intimacy. You won’t even be in the same room as her. You won’t get to smile as she undresses you and you undress her. You won’t get to calm her nerves with nerves of your own. You won’t get to kiss her, feeling her lips and the edge of her tongue. You won’t get to brush your fingers over the lace of her bra or count her ribs or feel her heartbeat. The first time you see a woman naked you will be sitting in front of a computer screen watching someone play at intimacy and perform at sex. She will contort her body to please everyone in the room but her. You will watch this woman who is not a woman, pixelated and filtered and customized. She will come ready-made, like an order at a restaurant. The man on the screen will be bigger than you, rougher than you. He will teach you how to talk to her. He will teach you where to put your hands and he will teach you what you’re supposed to like. He will teach you to take what is yours. You must unlearn this. You must unlearn this twisted sense of love. You must unlearn the definition of pleasure and intimacy you are being taught. Kill this idea of love, this idea of entitlement, this way of scarring one another.”

Preferring to date a race isn’t racist! It’s like preferring a certain hair color or height

racists Let me break this down: - Race is a social construct invented by Western Europeans to justify chattel slavery. Preferences aren’t biological or something you are born with, because race didn’t even exist until about 500 years ago.

- Among PoC, there is no race/ethnic group/country where all the people have anything in common besides being from a certain part of the world. Among PoC, there is no race where every member has the same skin color, hair color, hair type, eye color, language, clothing, culture, etc. - The only race whose members all have something in common is white- all white people have to have light skin in order to be white. This rule was created by white people themselves, and is intentionally exclusive. - Don’t even pretend that you don’t know there is a racial hierarchy in beauty. Everyone knows that in Western culture white women are seen as the most desirable, black women are seen as the least desirable, and everyone else is in the middle. Funny how these “innate” and “random” preferences seem to line up perfectly with white beauty standards/white supremacist ideals.

- No more false equivalencies. PoC not wanting to date white people is not the same as the reverse. PoC almost never believe that white people are unattractive/ugly, they just find it too difficult to meet a white person who is actively unlearning and working to dismantle white supremacy.

- Stop trying to defend yourself. If you have racial or ethnic preferences, whether they are positive or negative, you are the problem, stop blaming it on everyone else. You have to acknowledge and unlearn whatever stereotype you’ve absorbed. Like a previous post I made, this post is also not a place to try to debate whether racial preferences are bad or not. I’ve made my statement based on pretty obvious facts about Western culture and white supremacy. If you don’t agree, move on. However, feel free to share your experiences with this (either involving you or someone else).

The Department of Unexpected Interspecies Friendship has featured all sorts of animals over the years, but this may be the first time we’ve found a relationship involving a hippopotamus. Meet Douglas the baby hippo and his two terrier friends, Molly and Coco.

Douglas was abandoned by his mother and discovered by workers from Conservation Lower Zambezi when he was only two weeks old. They flew him to Chipembele Wildlife Rescue in South Luangwa, Zambia where the two little dogs immediately took to him as though he were just a great big terrier. While the Chipembele staff feed Douglas bottles of milk and teach him to swim, Molly and Coco are his constant companions. The staff hope that Douglas will eventually be able to join the wild hippo population in the Luangwa River. In the meantime we can be sure that he won’t be lonely.

If you’re interested in helping Douglas, you can adopt him to help fund his care via the Born Free Foundation.

ozziescribbler replied to your post: “Maybe this is a crazy question, but how did Europeans know what Africans looked like? I know that some of the paintings here are of North Africans/Middle Easterners, but others clearly depict people born south of the Sahara. I’ve heard of Prester…

You know, I just came to the rather sad realization that this is the reason many white people are so fond of fantasy novels/movies set in a vaguely medieval time. They’re not leaving POC out through ignorance. They’re leaving POC out because THAT’S THE FANTASY. They’re attracted to this time period because of their erroneous belief that it was this wondrous land of Lily Whiteness. To be honest this makes me very sad, but not surprised.

runtlofthelitter-deactivated201

It’s a sad realization but not a true one given it has no evidence to back it up. Escapism is a big part of speculative literature but I’ve never heard of readers and writer who wanted to escape from the complexity of a multiracial society…

Well, maybe Lovecraft.

There are a lot of reasons I can think of but I’d say the biggest one is probably exactly what MedievalPOC is trying to correct: The idea medieval Europe was purely white and thus non-white characters would form some kind of inaccuracy and/or unacceptable break with willing suspension of disbelief. If MedievalPOC has actual history professors messaging her saying they didn’t know this stuff how would a fiction writer know? There’s a related problem about the role of women which is sometimes better, sometimes worse, but I think often stems from the same source of the popular historiography envisioning a very limited role for women.

The racism comes in not from readers and writers wanting an escape from a multiracial society (Which I doubt ever happens) but from freaking out at the suggestion/inclusion of POC or women in non-traditional roles even when confronted with evidence of their factual existence.

This is to say nothing of the fact that there’s more basis in real life for sophisticated black medieval societies and women soldiers than dragons, magic and faeries.

Part of it is denial or ignorance of the existence of contrary narratives of pre-modern life, part of it is fear of a similar reaction in the audience or the editors, a lot of it is unoriginality or not wanting to change too much to effect willing suspension of disbelief.

But I’d still say the factor that most effects it is the one that most effects everything: This is the way it’s always been done.

Actually, there is a massive amount of evidence to back it up.

ART, in all its forms, is created on purpose by human beings.

When do the excuses stop? When does someone, anyone, finally become culpable in what has been created? How far can the buck be passed before it stops? Because it must stop, somewhere.

Why does everyone presume that humans will turn violent and scary in a depopulated post-apoc scenario? Like literally every post-apoc novel seems to be about how quickly shit will get horrifically brutal and people will kill...
