It doesnât matter if your early memories are good, or, like in Loganâs case, horrific â and that one word pretty much sums up all heâs told me of them â theyâre still what youâre built on.

Imagine their sex
they really gave us a female lead in a star wars movie & made her kind and good and angry and powerful and complex & then spent the next 2 movies revolving almost her entire storyline around a white male war criminal who abused her, abused her friends, abused her family. all the while validating all the people who romanticized gaslighting and torture. for fan service lmaoÂ
they also gave us a strong black male lead who was kind and rebelled against his entire way of life when he saw the atrocities he was expected to take part in. He risked his life to save others and was shown to love and care deeply for his friends and willing to sacrifice himself to save him. Then the next two movies infantilize him to be this weak self preserving side character with literally no agency beyond yelling other characterâs names.
They also gave us a Latino sci-fi hero who was an ace fighter pilot with a heart of gold and a wealth of courage who showed an incredible amount of support and kindness and trust towards a man who he had just met. Then the next two movies relegated him to being a chronic fuck-up and then ret-conned his ace pilot backstory in service of a racist drug dealer backstory to make him more like Han Solo

Sucks that we need this advice, but great that itâs being shared.Â
Iâm reposting for my black love ones out here!
Do you have any tips on writing black characters?
The tips I have for writing black characters are the same (ish) tips I have for being a better ally to black people, especially black women.Â
So here we go (in no particular order):Â
Race will always be a point of contention in a story (and in life) because the world has been geared to think black people are lesser in every way. You (Iâm assuming are not black because of this ask) will mess up. You will get many things wrong but you cannot let that stop you. Get your black friends (if they are willing) to look over the writing. Donât take their criticism to heart and accept your fumblings. Listen to them and absorb what they tell you. Donât Black Friendâ˘ď¸ them.
Donât write black characters into stories simply for trauma porn.Â
If you want to focus on them then actually focus on THEM and not on how they can possibly service/help a nonblack character.Â
Let your dark-skinned black characters be soft, shy and vulnerable too.Â
Let the black women (especially dark-skinned) in your stories be protected and desired (not just for sex).Â
Be careful of how you describe skin tone. Stay away from food items.Â
Also, be careful on how you describe our hair.Â
Yes, a black character can be villainous but make sure that there are plenty of black protagonists to combat said villain.Â
Ask yourself if you are giving the black characters the same level of interest and dimension as your nonblack characters. Seriously be honest with yourself because if you arenât your black audience will be able to tell quickly and stop reading. Theyâll most likely write you off and not read from you again.
Challenge yourself in how you think a black character should be. We as a people arenât a monolith. But donât use this as an excuse to insert colorblind ideology to support your nonblack character. Â
Take the word âsassyâ out of your vocabulary.Â
Black women can be strong but we still can be hurt. Emotionally, physically and psychologically. Just like any other person.Â
There are some black women who canât make it on their own, for whatever reason. Make sure that your surrounding characters (if they are friends with them) BE actual be friends. Let them be the friends you yourself would want to have.Â
Donât make all black dudes into dominant sex addicts with humungous penises.Â
Yes, you are allowed to pair the black guy with a white girl but question why they are together. If itâs because he thinks black women are lesser than, gross. If itâs just because they fit well together because they share similar hobbies then, by all means, go ahead.
Have black people in multiple settings and education levels. From the rich of the rich to the poorest of the poor. Weâre all smart, just in different ways.Â
Donât use âstreet smartsâ as a way to insinuate that the character isnât well learned. And if you do, call the other character(s) out.Â
TLdr: Just treat us as people. Acknowledge that antiblackness is a thing. Actively combat the negative stereotypes youâve been taught about black people. Accept that youâre writing wonât be perfect but make the attempt anyway. If itâs a major fuck up accept that youâll probably be called out on some stuff. Handle it with grace. Read Toni Morrison. Read Black Feminist/Womanist writings.Â
If your only black character is THE homophobic/transphobic/etc oneâŚ..no. Black people arenât more -phobic than other races. This line of thought completely erases the fact that gay/bi/trans/lesbian/nb people exist which is a common mode of thought.Â
The reality of black girls bullying white girls in school settings almost none because we know what could possibly happen to us. THANK JANE BY DESIGN and SAVE THE LAST DANCE.Â
The idea of âanyone can bully anyoneâ is very messy. On paper sure I guess but in realityâŚno.Â
Want a peek at current race relations between black women and nonblack women? Watch Bring It On. Iâm not joking, nothing has changed.Â
