Answers amended from the 2025 census based on feedback. If you’re mixed, choose what feels right to you I’m not here to do phrenology or paper bag test you but don’t make it my problem either. When in doubt, ask yourself: would the whites kill you too in the race war?

This census is US-centric because so is tumblr, unfortunately. This poll is also starting with a heavy Black/racialized bias due to my personal followers. The main point of this census is to see how white-dominant the site is currently compared to prior years, as well

For the purpose of this census, Imperial Core will be defined as the following: United States, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, basically all of Western Europe, Japan, and Israel. If you want to argue about any of these designations, too bad maybe they should stop colonizing.

Another black trans woman who I know personally was just arrested for self defense after a white cis man attacked her and yet I don’t see the “community” rallying for her.

She needs money badly now to get a new temp place to stay and food since she can’t work due to injuries sustained during the assault.

Please don’t just donate support her in your message when you do. she needs some kind words I love that woman.

are you interested in learning more about feminism from the perspective of Black women in Latin America? Do you know Spanish and/or Portuguese? Two book recommendations for you:

Lélia Gonzalez: Por um feminismo afro-latino-americano: https://mulherespaz.org.br/site/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/feminismo-afro-latino-americano.pdf

Rosa Campoalegre Septien: Voces afrofeministas: https://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/bitstream/CLACSO/169517/1/Voces-afrofeministas.pdf

There's an English translation on Scribd of Gonzalez's work, but I'm sure there are other English translations out there!

uncalamar

if you want a trans eminist perspective id highly recommend mikaelah drullard's work! she's an afrodominican trans woman who writes really good essays, here's a few in the feminist magazine volcanicas:

¿Quién es Mikaelah Drullard Márquez? Travesti afrodominicana radicada en México, escritora y una de las columnistas más leídas en Volcánicas

Las trenzas para las mujeres afro no son un accesorio, son memoria de recistencia.

El problema de los condenados de la tierra cuyas conciencias han sido tan colonizadas que creen que los amos desean su libertad. Un efecto p

En medio del debate sobre la gestación subrogada, Mikaelah, siempre crítica, ofrece una mirada profunda y decolonial a un asunto complejo.

Genuine curiosity, not intending any bad faith, but wondering, given the Yakubian Devilry tag, is that related to the NOI? Or is it unrelated and I lack other frame of reference?

It originates from NOI but variants of Yakubian Devils, Yakubian Apes, etc. as “slurs” for whites have been appropriated into wider usage by Black folks for like 1-2 decades by way of “making fun of Hoteps”.

To me, it’s simply one of the perjoratives they’re rarely prepared for and has the most impact. You can call them a cracker and it ministuns them but if you hold down the R1 button to use the full “PALE APE OF YAKUB” shout it staggers them for 5 seconds and pushes them back violently

My gf was scrolling through my profile while watching me play hades II and had a full-on laughing fit after reading this, saying they need to get on my level. Every day I’m glad to inspire the people I love to be meaner to the pale apes of Yakub 🙏🏽

Being autistic is all well and good until your echolalia latches on to saying “PALE APE OF YAKUB” like a dragon shout and now it’s on loop in your head 💀

Using my Crackerrend shout to instill the concept of basic humanity in Yakubian devils, temporarily preventing them from doing cracker shit.

Out here like Alduin at the beginning of Skyrim, hittin the full Yak-KUB-ian shout and causing white boy 9/11

Imagine a future where stories written in latin america dominate the cultural landscape. Everyone is watching their TV, their comics. The yanks beg and beg for English translations but they never come. Nothing personal, we just don't speak it. Plus, your language has some regressive elements that just don't quite capture the artistic vision we have. Sorry! </3

sisterreisaid

Spanish and English are both members of the Indo-European family of languages. Furthermore, Spanish is a Romance language and English is infused with a great deal of Romance vocabulary due to a period of Norman rule of England.

It is thus easy to translate between them.

Why would you want to burn this cultural bridge?

Words never used to describe Black women:

Dainty

Delicate

Elegant

Poised

Fragile

Genteel

Graceful

Lets add those to our vocabulary on a regular basis, shall we?

eyan-j

You REALLY want to be called dainty, delicate, and fragile? Genteel?

Not by me. No sir. Super hard space metal wrapped in a velvet glove lined with fur maybe. But delicate, dainty, and fragile?

Absolute not.

Genteel? Maybe…my grandmother is the most churchy person I know and even SHE’S not genteel.

danyphantomzone-deactivated2012

Yes, yes I do. Because I AM all of those words. But because of anti-Black racism and sexism, Black women are denied the very basis of femininity. We aren’t allowed to hurt. We’re supposed to be able to ‘do it all by ourselves” and never show weakness and parade around acting like we’re made of teflon coated adamantium.

No thank you.

I am genteel, fragile, delicate and dainty.

Aw… Black women want to be infantilized like white women are? But really, you’re ahead of the curb. That’s what REAL equality feels like. That’s how most/all men feel all the time. But at least your worth isn’t measured by both men and women by how confident and invulnerable you can be. (Or… ONLY vulnerable in a romantic context after you’re already in a relationship founded on how invulnerable you are…) How about extending that genteel, fragile, delicate/dainty stuff to US. (Specially black men, their hardness expected of them is off the charts.)

danyphantomzone-deactivated2012

At the bolded, that’s not my intention. Your last sentences are what I really want in terms of giving Black people humanity. We are always supposed to be “hard,” both Black men and women. We’re supposed to be able to take any and everything and shuck and jive it off like good little Mammies/Uncle Toms.

As I said in another post, we take care of things that are deemed “delicate.” The care is what I focus on, not the sexist infantilization of my womanhood.

Fair. How would you draw the line/distinction?

danyphantomzone-deactivated2012

There is a level of condescension that comes with infantilization. One can treat me as a delicate individual without acting as if I can’t do anything for myself.

Just as one can treat a man as a delicate individual without insinuating that his “manhood” is in jeopardy.

But I don’t imagine we should idealize/foster female delicacy, or delicacy as a female trait, right? And I don’t think initialization necessarily means condescending. I don’t think I normally use a condescending tone with small children or young adults. I think of them all as my equals. Even babies. Just people like you and me… who just happen to not know how to do anything beside cry and writhe.

bad-dominicana-deactivated20260

My issue is the fact that Black women are denied femininity PERIOD, and thus my post may come off as gender essentialist in some ways.

Because delicacy is denied to me as a black woman, it should be fostered in a healthy manner that does not hinder my functioning as a decent human being.

strugglingtobeheard

girl, these niggas. i aint even going there with eyan-j’s tom ass. *smh* they cant even interpret the base post because they just don’t fucking get it. cause i never saw you wanted to be infantilized and i certainly do not think the way Black women are treated makes us above or close to equal to anyone at all, shape or form. and then to turn it into a boohoo what about the brothers (extend that to us, fuck you) type shit? misss the fuck outta me.

that lil danyphantom negro and eyanj w their antiblack misogyny, all butthurt and writhing in anger at black women wanted to be considered as delicate as anyone else?

theyre repeat offenders.

that lil danyphantom shithead used to comment on my shit all the time, ALWAYS on some condescending PRO-WHITE, PRO-MALE bullshit, told him to stop bothering me or he’d get blocked, and he continued doing so several times after being told off til i did block his ass.

and eyanj stays on some antiblack misogynist “boohoo males are the true victims” bullshit, talmbout “why do these women have to talk at all” every damn day.

its just like real life where the only way you hear from negroes is when theyre gonna come shit on you.

you can scream and holler in pain coz everyones killing you

and they will sit there and file their nails til its time to join in on ravaging you.

fuck them to fucking hell

moniquill

Hey, assholes earlier in this thread?

Look at this list of words. Really LOOK at it:

Dainty

Delicate

Elegant

Poised

Fragile

Genteel

Graceful

Aside from arguably the word ‘fragile’ there’s not a goddamned word on that list that indicates a lack of strength or personal conviction. There’s nothing infantilizing there - unless you’ve already bought into the belief that femininity is inherently infantile.

And Fragile? Know what fragile in this sense indicates? WORTH OF CARE AND PROTECTION. If you think that something that’s fragile can’t also be strong, or that even if it isn’t also strong that it’s not worthy of respect, you are a horrible human being.

What the OP wants is access to the same variety of available identities and social attitudes that white women have access too.

To be motherfucking dainty

And delicate

And Elegant

And Poised

And yes, Fragile

And Genteel

And Graceful

Because blackness should not be a fucking special and marked category of femininity.

WHY IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

neshatriumphs

I haven’t seen this post in a while!

creatingblackcharacters

Hey everybody,

So, I wanna be clear: I use this page to platform fundraisers specifically for people and causes of Black African descent. We often don't even consider that Black people exist across the globe, and have to deal with the same suffering and political conflicts in tandem with pre-existing antiblackness. Sudan, Congo, Haiti, Cuba, Palestine, etc. I want to use my position to amplify their voices, to give them the spotlight and space to be seen in a world that often neglects their existence.

That being said!

My peers (of all backgrounds) and I have been sharing fundraisers for Gaza for at least three years. And I recognize that that's a while, but folks being tired of hearing about it doesn't prevent suffering from occurring. It doesn't stop people from experiencing horrors under genocide. So often I get asked on my personal page, why no one is listening or helping, and I don't have anything to tell them. I don't know what to say anymore.

Because I see what they're saying, I do see how it feels like my peers and I are basically circling fundraisers between ourselves at this point. I see how the world treats them, and I don't know what more I could possibly say to convince people to care, after everything we've witnessed. What could I possibly say, if that's not enough?

We could use your help. But much more importantly, the people of Gaza could use your help! Even if you can't donate, reblog a campaign post shared by your peers every now and then. Pick one family's campaign and commit to sharing that one, if nothing else. Anything is better than nothing. Everybody on here claims to have some sort of marginalization and struggle that they wish to be witnessed and acknowledged, so I know you understand and empathize.

Anything is better than nothing, y'all. Please.

tumblrina, kytsuine-blog would like to point out that you're reading this as erotic, and that's because you know what hot writing looks like. kytsuine-blog thinks you might like to study andy warhol because he also made art that divorced form from function. that's beautiful.

just like #nothingplay establishes the erotic with text mechanics a priori, #popism creates a people's art with the mass reproduction of the glitterati.

the diptych of marilyn monroe only mattered because it could be mass-produced. eroticism is housed in the form. you can be sexy, it's just all in the framing.

tumblrina, kytsuine-blog failed to fully abstract away the superstructure and expose the base. A truly materialist #nothingpost remains in the realm of theory. You can work towards a praxis by doing nothing in particular, though :)

If you know a lot about something, I suspect that you introduce yourself to other people who know a lot about that thing by telling each other random factoids about that Thing. Biologists have noticed this in all primates, really: there's a good paper on a pair of chimpanzees who discussed the intricacies of N-gauge model train layouts. After it has been established that both of you Belong Here, oftentimes the conversation must move into the destruction phase.

Competition, too, is in our genes. After all, if you know more about Thing than your newfound best friend, it is your obligation to make sure they are educated. The brief, but very real, sense of superiority that you feel afterwards is just icing on the cake. Say, did you know that cake was invented only very recently, by the Hapsburgs, when they were trying to develop a new kind of croissant, which aren't even French, by the way? Some of those facts are true!

This contest can end up with you tragically breaking up the friendship before it even begins. After all, being a smug asshole who over-explains everything to someone they hardly know is their schtick. And any implied smugness while you deliver the fact they already know is just poor manners. Nobody wants to hang out with such a galaxy-class dickweed. Still, it remains true that the best way to honour your love for Thing is to dump everything you know about it, machine-gun-style, indiscriminately into the face of anyone who will stand still for more than thirty seconds. So what do you do?

We have a solution at long last. Here at Hyperfixation Central Office, you can simply mail us everything you know about your Special Thing, and we'll keep it on file for later. When you meet another person, just send us a record of the meeting, and we'll mail each of you whatever the other person knows that you don't. You'll open it in private, avoiding any shame, and enough time has passed since the social occasion that you should still remain friends. Now, there is a small service fee with each request, but I think you'll find it's incredibly affordable, compared to the expense of not having any friends anymore.

YOU. GET MORE ANTI-SLAVERY NOW.

No one in the world actually cares about trans women in sports. In the sense that literally no one besides from us wants us anywhere near it. The best anyone can offer is "trans people belong in sports" and "women and non-binary people" soccer clubs. No one in the world seems to give a shit that some girls want to have fun and play sports. And no one seems to understand that even in things we're not explicitly banned from there's that constant worry that we personally could be the thing someone kicks up a transmisogynistic stink over. No one cares whatsoever.

soup-mother

Maybe I'm a little bit tired of being an afterthought in conversations about stuff murderously targeting us in particular by explicit design. Somehow people talking about it is almost worst than no one doing so.

(progressively) "This hurts real biological AFAB XX women-and-non-binary people AND transwomen!"

hagiomoto

I’d probably be fine with Persepolis if it were treated as just one perspective among many. Just a regular personal narrative shaped by a specific background and experience during the Iranian Revolution. Because at the end of the day, it is just a memoir. It reflects one person’s life, one family, one social class, and one way of seeing things.

The issue is that people don’t treat it that way and that’s where it starts to feel unfair. No single story, no matter how powerful, should be taken as representing an entire country, especially one as large and complex as Iran.

Like, if someone from my country created something like Persepolis, and it became the only thing the outside world knew about our history, I’d be pretty upset too. I wouldn’t be able to just sit back and accept it. It’s not that her story shouldn’t exist, but that it shouldn’t be mistaken for the whole story.

Maybe I'm not paying enough attention, but I haven't seen anything online or in the news about this and it's bad. Consider that the Palestinian governments and several benevolent humanitarian organizations are considered terrorists by Israel which would mean Palestinians are designated terrorists by default.

Legislation initiated by far-right Otzma Yehudit party drew mounting criticism from opponents and rights groups as it moved through the Knes

snoopyisbisexual

An excerpt:

"The measure allows courts to impose the death penalty without a request from prosecutors, and without requiring unanimity, instead permitting a simple majority decision. Military courts in the occupied West Bank would also be empowered to hand down death sentences, with the defence minister able to submit an opinion. For Palestinians under occupation, the bill would close off avenues for appeal or clemency, while prisoners tried inside Israel could see their sentences commuted to life imprisonment."
