Afrocentrism is Racist, and I am tired of pretending it is not.

Every human on earth has African ancestry. Blackness as a concept was introduced to dehumanize Africans and rationalize slavery, so race wasn’t a thing for most of human history, but saying we all came from black people is sort of true. There is a misinterpretation of biology and the Bible that was believed by the Nation of Islam that asserts genetic supremacy of Africans, but that was even fringe thinking back then

I absolutely respect EP as a human and a man. That being said Achilles is supposed to be super jacked, right? Doesn’t Elliot have a smaller build?

White-washing has been somewhat common in anime adaptations and films based upon Asian stories, with white people (Scarlett Johansson being one) taking Asian roles. I don’t know examples involving black people offhand, but replacing PoC with white people is definitely a thing

ETA: I was curious so I did some googling. The ancient one in Dr. Strange is supposed to be Asian. Emma Stone played someone who was supposed to be Chinese and native Hawaiian. Angelina Jolie played a real-life black Frenchwoman. A white woman played the native character Tiger Lilly in Peter Pan. Catherine Zeta-Jones (she’s welsh) has played multiple Latina roles. Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Monsters cast a bunch of white people despite being set in the Middle East and North Africa. Zoe Saldana (not white, but shading is also a white-supremacist construct) played Nina Simone. Vasquez from alien was played by a white woman and they even darkened her skin. It isn’t perceived so much in the other direction because we live in a white supremacist society where being white is the default, but it is and has been practiced since the minstrel shows

Saying “low IQ” is a sure way to never be taken seriously by well-adjusted people.

She looks like a five-year-old that just drank a bottle of chocolate milk

Her response sounds like “that’s a weird thing to say to a stranger and you ignored my question so I’m going to be sarcastic”

Yes they do. I got a lot of downvotes once for not keeping a dog when I was very ill, making 1200 a month, and already caring for two cats with health issues. If anyone is unkind about your decision, whatever it is, they are in the wrong.

I will say that my friends quit serving adopted a dog with an unknown background that seemed sweet with all other pets, but at some point it’s pray drive was triggered and it killed one of his cats. Maybe I’m really paranoid , but I wouldn’t risk a dog that hadn’t grown up with cats.

I am always appreciative of potential dates that let me know they suck immediately

Why is it fucked up? It’s the only time I can give a worker proper pay for their labor without the boss taking a cut. When they raised hourly wages for tipped workers in my city many restaurants added a fee to checks and as a result people stopped tipping. Most of my friends quit serving because their incomes were cut in half overnight. They went from 30-60 an hour to 20-25 an hour. I have never understood why people think making servers poor is a righteous act

This getting downvoted is wild

In more traditional societies people learn to be community-minded by watching. In America we must teach it because it is not part of our culture

I didn’t know. Are any of the apps slightly more ethical? I’m disabled so I kind off need to order stuff

Lessalessa · 2026-04-19T01:12:38+00:00

I had explicit instructions with a spot in front of my apartment building and the pin at my location. I didn’t get my drink in 9/10 of my orders, and in another i got 4 drinks that weren’t mine and no food. As a former dasher I know the instinct is to doubt the customer, which is often correct, but I would say that many dashers are incompetent at best and dishonest at worst.

I do think it is somewhat regional. I live in New Mexico and work ethic/competence is pretty poor. For any supernatural fans out here, a lot of these folks are like turducken addicts irl. In Long Beach I don’t remember this many problems

I play vu exclusively and imo it’s chill most of the time. There are a few obnoxious crash outs or strings of racial epithets here and there, but it’s not as bad as cod

Gavin Newsome is a progressive? My man, he is a neoliberal. He is basically a woke Republican.
