sometimes i overthink things between you and i
and i need to remind myself… there’s not really something there
right, there’s nothing between us…
so why do i feel like this friendship is drifting?
my quirks seem less quirky i guess, and i’m running out of things to ask…
i guess this is a plateau…
February 2012

measuring out everything that i eat
rationing out my food intake
etcetera, etcetera…

and to do 2hrs of exercise a day— either broken up into 30min sessions or 1hr long sessions
i need to do more upper body and core...

Prejudice: [PoC calls white person a cracker].
Racism: Two centuries of PoC being stolen from their homelands, driven out of their native lands, tricked, raped, infected with disease, and otherwise downtrodden so as to remove them from any chance of being the dominant race.
Prejudice: [PoC gives a white person a nickname playing on the fact that they're white].
Racism: PoC must, from the moment they realize a baby is on the way, worry about whether giving a child a name reflecting their heritage will affect their chances at a good life in the future. Hint: it will.
Not racism: Calling out that slavery lasted for two centuries, and civil rights did not happen for PoC until the 20th Century (you know, the century which only ended TWELVE YEARS AGO).
Racism: We should not talk about it, because it makes [non-PoC] feel bad.
Not racism: A non-PoC actor can get pretty much any role s/he wnats.
Racism: ... including roles that were originally written as PoC. PoC actors must settle for roles making them servants, sassy women, jive turkey men, criminals, drug addicts, or abused downtrodden prostitutes, the better to reinforce the negative mental image of PoC in the minds of the zeitgeist, and hold up the excuse that "they bring it on themselves".
Not Racism: Flattering pictures of people used to represent them on the web.
Racism: Flattering pictures of Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachman. But the most unflattering pic available of Michelle Obama is used for the same article.
Not Racism: Articles about women's features.
Racism: Article purporting to have scientific "proof" that Black women are uglier than women of any other race.
Not Racism: America is where everyone is supposed to have equal chance.
Racism: Equal chance? Freed slaves were lucky if they got 40 Acres and a Mule, after working for free for generations for people who are now wealthy and offered no other reparations.
Not Racism: Irish History Month, Italian History Month, French History Month, German History Month, etc. All of which would, technically, qualify, btw, as White History Months.
Racism: It's not Cameroon History Month, Nigerian History Month, Egyptian History Month, Zimbabwean History Month, Zaire History Month, Somalian History Month, etc. It's BLACK History Month. Doesn't matter what country in Africa you come from. If you're Black you just all get lumped in together.
Not Racism: PoC describe their experiences.
Racism: Non-PoC interrupt, derail, silence, mock, deride, or cite "oversensitivity" because it makes them feel uncomfortable to know that PoC have endured this, and to have to acknowledge their privilege -- and their responsibility to do something about it if they really are as anti-racist as they profess.

sometimes...
when i’m home and something stupid happens, whether it be via conversation with whomever is in the room with me, or someone said something dumb to me online, i look off to the side, as if there’s a camera there and i’m breaking the 4th wall…
i make a face and everything…
like, why aren’t there cameras in my house…??!
nehzoomey:
how do 90% of people on tumblr even go outside without being offended by a blade of grass or something
i like black people because of their skin tones… they come in so many beautiful shades and variations
little details, like freckles and moles and beauty marks… they seem “exotic” and image-enhancing, same with eyes that are non-typical (ie: the basic default brown)
we can have cream, caramel, mocha, dark chocolate, and midnight… our hair can be virginal european...

I wrote this at my other blog, and I’d thought I’d share it here as well. It’s not comics-related, mind you, so it’s a bit of a deviation.

I’ll probably get so much hell for what I’m about to say, but it needs to be said.
It’s kind of telling about this year’s Oscars that nobody’s really talking about the picture that one Best Picture (The Artist, a rare...
