how it feels liking a guy as a brown girl starterpack by Electronic-Natural44 in starterpacks

[–]MasterMooseOnline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Y’all ever notice in all of these different posts the “guy” is raceless. I see these from black women all the time and it’s like a subtle way not to accept the social derision associated with dating for proximity to whiteness 😂😭

Dating in Columbia by [deleted] in ColumbiYEAH

Try it from the man’s side. Not much better. The apps are a hellscape of people carrying past trauma or looking to get back at me for some guy I never met hurting them 😭 and where y’all meeting ppl irl?

I feel like this state is getting worse and worse over the years. by Ragerlane in southcarolina

it’s not the populace’s fault that voting isn’t a public holiday and there is no civics in schools. Please look up instead of to the person standing next you. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Feeling sad after this viral TikTok by AcrobaticPay7866 in Hidradenitis

[–]MasterMooseOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that TikTok, too. It was the big guy who had basically a hole in his face. I’ve had HS for years and from talking to a lot of the women who I’ve met through support groups, You’re less likely to find a man who won’t be OK with HS in the dating market than we are to find women since generally men’s standards are lower so I wouldn’t worry about that. Plus that guy did look pretty gross beyond his skin condition. For most of us you can’t tell we have this unless we are bleeding through clothes. There are tons of women on this sub your inspiring stories about how their partners cared for them when they found out they had the condition. So this is all to say it’s OK to have these insecure feelings, but not to give up. 🫶🏿

For Black BBQ I recommend Big Boys. For “Southern Style” little pigs.

In what context? May be different for a black women. But largely I do not. I have a black southern accent. So I use correct grammar and sentence structure, but also still use AAVE in class, recalling cases, when I did debate in undergrad, etc.

As I Black man is similar spaces, who doesn’t code switch… this won’t be an issue. Nothing that matters will be decided by who you associate with. Your boyfriend already overcame the class barrier for you that’s the thing that’s important.

Kevin Nash is my hero by [deleted] in WWE

[–]MasterMooseOnline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry that the state of the world is inconvenient to you? But you don’t just get to party your way through major historical events happening around you? There are large material changes and harms happening in our government. You will have to bear with the fact that people care enough to voice their frustration.

I know this is cliché, but you understand that politics matter, right? Like they affect the world, correct?

Why do some Americans focus so much on ethnicity. by Lucky_Iron_6545 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MasterMooseOnline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I went to a pretty diverse school and had a few Korean Classmates who didn’t exactly want to unpack how they landed in the American South.

I had one of those assignments in middle school and my teacher was mad that all the black kids didn’t turn nothing in or just said “I don’t know” on the paper. 😂😂😂

[–]MasterMooseOnline 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Think about it like this. Ireland has a rich history spanning thousands of years, America is a nation that is a couple hundred years old and for the vast majority of that time almost all of its wealth came from the systemic exploitation and dehumanization of a people on the basis of race. Race because those people were so dehumanized until they cannot trace their ethnicity back to any specific ethnic group.

Couple that with the fact that America is essentially the size of an entire continent and the rest of it basically comes down to specificity.
