So Tom Brady is simply the product of the same system while Charles Haley has proven himself in multiple systems.

France got kicked out by the slaves.

It was also the 2nd country in the Americas to get independence, 30 years after the USA.

Why Is Haiti So Poor?

When they won recognition from France in the mid-19th century, HAITI WAS FORCED TO PAY REPARATIONS FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THEIR INDEPENDENCE (free slaves = property damage).

Officially this payment was made in return for diplomatic recognition, but was supported by multiple warships. The payment was around $20 billion in today’s money. Given that Haiti’s GDP today is only $13 billion, one might see this as a further reason why this country has such a diverging development compared to its more wealthy neighbour, the Dominican Republic.

Happy Black History Month!

Anti-Blackness is...

-Me getting up in the morning, spending 45 mins on styling my hair and folks still calling it “just nappy” or “nappy looking”.  -One of my fair skinned Latina friends telling another fair skinned Latina friend that she is “Getting too much sun”. We all know that is code for don’t get too dark.  -Telling your children, who presumably have no medical issues, to “stay out of the sun or they’ll burn and be less attractive”.  -Saying, “some black people are really beautiful”. We all know who the “some” consists of. -Telling folks to not touch my hair and them responding with, “It wont mess it up. It’ll just look the same anyways.” -Asking a dark skinned person, “Why would you even tan?” -Calling anything with a black lead a “Hood” or “Ghetto” production.  -Always referring to the darker person as aggressive. -Continuously commenting on how “other non-black people” are ‘always chill’. -Asking for the name of a dance that has been developed by black people, asking for it to be demonstrated, but not wanting to do it because it “Looks stupid”. -Saying something isn’t a big deal to a black person, when it centers around race, and it is CLEARLY a big deal to them. -Suggesting an afro-ethnic, afro-centric body of work is too “complex” or too “complicated” to be featured at a venue.   I am gonna add on to this as I go.

Me getting up in the morning, spending 45 mins on styling my hair and folks still calling it “just nappy” or “nappy looking”.

>Those people are just assholes (or maybe you should get better at doing hair)

One of my fair skinned Latina friends telling another fair skinned Latina friend that she is “Getting too much sun”. We all know that is code for don’t get too dark.

>I, personally, have never though of that as saying “don’t get too dark” besides tanning too much is unhealthy as fuck.

Telling your children, who presumably have no medical issues, to “stay out of the sun or they’ll burn and be less attractive”.

>or OR maybe it’s because SUNBURNS FUCKING HURT, YOU IDIOT.

Saying, “some black people are really beautiful”.

>because it’s true? Not all black people are attractive. Not all white people are attractive. Not all of any race is attractive, besides, this is said about every race, but GG making it about you.

Telling folks to not touch my hair and them responding with, “It wont mess it up. It’ll just look the same anyways.”

>once again, assholes with personal space issues

Asking a dark skinned person, “Why would you even tan?”

>a legitimate question

Calling anything with a black lead a “Hood” or “Ghetto” production

>if the shoe fits though

Always referring to the darker person as aggressive.

>no one does this

Continuously commenting on how “other non-black people” are ‘always chill’

>no one does this either, wtf

Asking for the name of a dance that has been developed by black people, asking for it to be demonstrated, but not wanting to do it because it “Looks stupid”.

>I mean, most of those dances DO look retarded.

Saying something isn’t a big deal to a black person, when it centers around race, and it is CLEARLY a big deal to them.

>THAT IS BECAUSE NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU? NOT EVERYTHING IS RACIST. I know, it’s hard to believe.

Suggesting an afro-ethnic, afro-centric body of work is too “complex” or too“complicated” to be featured at a venue.  

>Pretty sure no one has ever said this either

[immaterialmurdoc]

One of my fair skinned Latina friends telling another fair skinned Latina friend that she is “Getting too much sun”. We all know that is code for don’t get too dark.

It must be because she and me lives in a hot and sunny as fuck region of the world, at least on Brazil, cases of skin cancer have been growing more and more each year. There are constant advertisements talking to people to constantly be using sun screen, stay at home or covered areas more often. She’s probably worried because most people on places like USA and UK don’t understand how fucking bad excessive sun can be. 

Telling your children, who presumably have no medical issues, to “stay out of the sun or they’ll burn and be less attractive”.

SUN, RADIATION, IS, BAD, FOR ,YOU. When people people say that your kid is gonna be less attractive, they are just trying to sugar coat the fact that your child is gonna look like a fucking dried raisin in 5 years if you don’t protect them, and i don’t know about you, but a dead child looking like a fucking raisin in a coffin is not the must beautiful thing to me, but that’s subjective i suppose.

Asking a dark skinned person, “Why would you even tan?”

Why do you want to have skin cancer so bad when you already have smaller chances of getting it?

-Sorry. I don’t have those issues. @purple-loser

[thatssomedetroitshit]

people love to invalidate shit that doesn’t affect them. i totally receive every point in the O.P.

[jayjohn1006]

Why is it that every time people of color speak on an issue that concerns us or pertains to us…. People who it does NOT concern always have something to say?? Like DO YOU MIND?!?! I was NOT talking to you, about you, OR even with you! Please exit stage left, take several seats, and mind ya business. 👌🏾💯 I COMPLETELY agree with this post because IT APPLIES.

[wretchedzombie]

White people are so fucking entitled that they figure if they haven’t witnessed something in action, it doesn’t happen. Anti Blackness is real and if you spend your time attempting to invalidate that simply because it makes you uncomfortable, you’re a racist. I swear, y'all are cowards. Why not be proud of your hate? Why hide behind the decorative statement , “not everything is about race.”?

None of you even have the gall to be honest about what pieces of complete garbage you are, so instead you spew vitriolic hackneyed white phrases to black people so that we accept these injustices silently. We deserve a safe space to talk about this shit and yet you people have the audacity to say not everything is about us.

If we tried to take over your school, theatre, and grocery store shootings conversations, you’d be upset.

[theoriginalblackbarbie]

Imagine being this dumb and entitled . Imagine not having to deal with colorism and just being know as white. Imagine not having your hair being scene as an obstacle to some when completing education or working a job. Just imagine how terrible it feels to be privileged. So privileged that you think everyone has the same issues as you because we’re “all human.” You idiots aren’t black and op clearly wasn’t talking to you.

[shermitroyalty-deactivated20170]

This is why we can’t progress. They don’t even want to educate themselves and use empathy. 

[theoriginalblackbarbie]

“Empathy” “Want to educate themselves.” 😂😂😂😂😂 They don’t care because it’s not important to them. Plain and simple.

[bougiebussy]

i say leave em in the sun for 2 weeks straight and be done with em lmao

[theoriginalblackbarbie]

“Why would dark skin people tan?” The same reason pale skin people do. “Maybe you aren’t doing your hair right?” Afro textured hair is different. Just like east Asian hair. Just like south Asian hair. Just like native hair. Just like Hispanic hair.Every race’s hair is different it’s not all styled the same.

Not a hard topic but it is when you invite yourself into a community discussion when no one asked y'all.

[stylebias]

Just say you hate Black people and go.

[natashajewels]

OP is spot on.

[dollsofcolourheckyes]

[msmoniqueandthangs]
