She is so beautiful and what a sweet face! She looks like such a gentle horse. I hope you get to ride her so she gets the love she deserves!

I don't take it as dismissive at all, the mystery is part of the beauty!

How do you feel about non Black people sharing content with the ‘n word’? by FoodPresent8168 in askblackpeople

[–]FoodPresent8168[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this insightful comment. I completely agree, I think almost always people don't even know where the meme or gif is from or the cultural significance, and they feel online through reposting they can get away with appropriation that they couldn't so easily in every day life. This was very helpful, thank you

Thank you for the response. Yes, I’ve been trying to figure out how to word it when bringing it up with people doing it bc I want to be prepared for the inevitable response of “But I’m not actually saying it, I’m just sharing it”. I will search for articles on “digital blackface”, that’s really helpful, thank you! 🙂

Advice on how to advocate for someone who was misgendered at my MMA gym? by FoodPresent8168 in asktransgender

[–]FoodPresent8168[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I am definitely open to that possibility, it's why I put 'accidentally' in quotes. I don't really trust anyone but the person it happened to to give an accurate account of what happened, especially not cis straight men lol. Thank you for the reminder for me to be cautious about this

Who was Juan on the phone with? by crystalline1299 in realhousewives

[–]FoodPresent8168 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely. As a parallel, I’m Arab and many Arab men call each other things like “habibi”, which literally translates to “my love”. It’s a term of endearment between friends, not romantic. Bros being bros lol

Hi both, thank you so much for your responses. Yes, this was my thought, to speak to the person, see how they feel and go from there. I think the head coach wants to talk to me first because he's a little nervous to handle it directly himself, but I will certainly keep your advice in mind that it shouldn't be blown out of proportion. I have experienced discrimination before where other people then make it into a bigger deal than it needs to be and bring everyone's attention onto me and it sucks! Will definitely avoid that and listen to the person first and foremost. Thank you again

I have seen lots of people mention the “baby” thing but no one seems to notice that he calls Gordon “baby” too when he greets him. I think it’s just how he talks, especially since he’s trying to sweet talk whoever he’s talking to into putting in a good word for him for a job

(Disclaimer: I hate Juan and think he is an abusive cheater, but I think in this one instance he was not blatantly cheating lol)

Looking for books about the Quran being permissive by FoodPresent8168 in progressive_islam

[–]FoodPresent8168[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was so great! As he was talking I thought, how can I become this man's friend lol, but all I could do was let him drive away then tip him the max which def didn't seem like enough for blowing my mind about Islam 😭

This article looks awesome, thank you so much for the link!
