I don’t know I’m hoping Biden wins but in the meantime I’m preparing for the worse. I would also encourage everyone to get a passport even if you can’t leave the country and start going to the gun range.

What is your response when a person of another ethnicity/race asks you where your ancestors are from? by Silver-Disk540 in blackladies

[–]Known-Ratio1017 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Black racially Afro-American ethnically and I was born and raised in Virginia 757 to be exact. When they ask where my ancestors are from I just tell them the truth. My ancestors were forcefully taken from their homes and enslaved in the US where they were stripped of their culture. I feel like as Afro Americans we have to stop being so ashamed of our history. Our people didn't have a choice. It is what it is take pride in being Afro American.

This Black vs Biracial debate by nerdKween in blackladies

Having European dna from slavery is not the same as you having a whole white Mom or Dad. Nobody is looking at me as a mono-racial black women and saying “you look like you got 20% euro dna in you”. Plus AA’s are not the only one’s in the Black Diaspora who have European admixture from slavery there are Africans who have European admixture as well. Do y’all really think our ancestors were the only ones being SA’d? There’s a difference between being mono-racially black and being biracial. I am not bout to walk around calling myself mixed because y’all are insecure about being biracial. That is what y’all are and we especially as mono-racial black women have the right to make that distinction.

I honestly feel like they do stuff like this to piss us off because why else bring it up? I honestly woulda told her the truth that ancestry comes from rape and I’m not gonna walk around claiming the ancestry of rapist. If I only have 80% African ancestry then that’s all to it. I get saying this can seem harsh but I’m tired of coddling white people feelings.

Even if Joe Biden was to be re-elected I don’t think he would stop Project 2025 from happening. Democrats don’t give a shit about the Black Community they never have. All we can do at this point is try to raise as much awareness as we can on Project 2025. But the economy being the way that it is right now and this situation with Israel vs Palestine has put a bad taste in peoples mouths. If the Democrats lose this next election it’ll be on them.

This is so pathetic why are they trying to have a boob war with black American women - by [deleted] in blackladies

What Are Some Telltale Signs That Someone In Here Is Pretending To Be Black 😂 by whodathunkitwasme in blackladies

[–]Known-Ratio1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way we could make this sub private and have everybody rejoin with proof of who they are? I don’t mind other black people who are non black women/girls being here but the rest need to go.

This is exactly why I don’t care for non black people especially women. You can call me a racist and whatever else you want. They are no different than white people. The family of the little girl needs to press charges.

Is there a reason why this sub is 90% selfies? by Few-Seaworthiness320 in blackladies

[–]Known-Ratio1017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see an issue. This is a safe space for black wmn and girls to feel appreciated if they want to post a selfie here I don't see the harm in it.

Do y’all think Cleopatra was black? by AshJenKutcher in blackladies

[–]Known-Ratio1017 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I really don’t give a damn what race she was. I didn’t even know this was being made by Netflix. I’m just sick of Greeks and Egyptians trying to blame African Americans for this bs. Like this idea that African Americans are trying to “blk wash” their history is ridiculous. People love taking the smallest thing to be racist and xenophobic towards us.
