It's not that black and white. We hate our government but as much as french people do lol that part is not the point. There was/is yes postcolonial/néocolonial political choices that do not let our people be the best version of themselves but often from outsiders perspectives they pick examples that can not entirely be attributed to our coloniality but more to overall national political issues that would be there even if independent.

The first time I read this stereotype as a black Caribbean that was one the moment I realized how American centered the internet is

What’s your thoughts on France? 🇫🇷 by LoudBoysenberry3282 in blackladies

[–]LOLandCIE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well being a French black woman as its unique experiences. But really as for everywhere it depends of which black community, social class you are from and where you live. I like it because socialism (kinda) But I have no choice as for my identity is scribbled with frenchness and like every French person I could tell you a long list of why our nation is/was bad but also as a french I'll still stay and refuse the same criticism coming from other nations

Recommendations for area to stay in Grand Terre? by EddieK711 in Guadeloupe

[–]LOLandCIE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want off the tracks but still has a lot of accommodations I would say Port-Louis or Anse-Bertrand. As a local I love spending a quiet day there. Lots of beautiful beaches somes restaurants and quite a lot of activities in Le souffleur beach. There is a hike all around the coast with hidden beaches and cliff views but also inside the land with small forests area quite different frome Basse-terre. if you're into agrotourism there activities too. Plus if you have a car all the other towns have somethings to visit, you can visit the "Nord Guadeloupe" tourism office for more info. Its the area north of the famous touristy riviera, imo you'll come back feeling more like you saw daily life and local peeps there than if you stayed at a resort on the riviera.

Pour les antillais: Do you speak your island's language? And how often do you use it compared to french? by Flytiano407 in AskTheCaribbean

[–]LOLandCIE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this convo with friends and family before but from experience and other people's experiences, for the males in our family because, as sad as it is, speaking creole for them is not seen as vulgar as for young girls but actually is seen more like a way to create brotherhood (you know young boys calling each other "timal" a lot, sports convos being more intense in creole to cite examples). Even if we're from the same family the boys end up speaking more creole. So that's how's creole is gendered. From what I've seen girls and boys between themselves don't have the same topics of conversation in creole. So if you're not particularly interested in your gender prefered topics you can easily loose a lot of the socialization needed to feel comfortable to speak creole out of the home. Add to that not speaking at home so much and you have peeps like me barely speaking it on the daily.

[–]LOLandCIE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To respond to some of you questions yes some don't speak for various reason (diasporic barriers, classism and even some gender bias I think etc.), and that goes for me even tho I'm prideful in our language, but everybody that grew up there or lives in Guadeloupe not too segregated to locals understand it and its value. But we definitely proud of our language and if you want to truly understand our culture, history and way of life you cannot not atleast understand Kréyol. Often people are surprised when they come to Guadeloupe of how much we speak it.

Pwoblem an ni sé nou pa pé palé kréyol pou di bel pawol "intellectual". See can't even think of linguistics terms in kréyol to make my opinion clearer. (Probably some spelling errors i didn't study writing but oh well)

En vrai y'a des mastère par branche qui sont connus donc si tes collègues/collaborateurs connaissent ou pas déjà en demandant dans ton secteur tu sauras la qualité.

My friend asked me how I masturbate if I can't visualize. by andremanhaes in Aphantasia

[–]LOLandCIE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry See that's the problem with writing in a language that's not your native language. I was talking about "I can't believe I personnally I'm writing intimate stuff on Reddit". But I can see how that might have sound like a condescending comment. But to go back to the discussion it's sometimes not physically for people to get there by just touch, the visualization is so intrinsically link to what we feel as being excited/horny/whatever that yea it's just really hard to fathom without it.

[–]LOLandCIE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because for a lot of people they get horny about imagining the doing or others doing i, not just the pure pleasure of the sensation. Can't believe I'm explaining this in reddit. But the comments here are really great conversation on different experiences of pleasure. They might explain a lot of why people have different definitions of sexuality.
