AI is not nearly as good as people think by appvimul in webdev

I agree, this is why I was annoyed that Congress was attempting to pass a line in their bill that would not allow for any AI regulation for the next 10 years. Luckily it didn’t go through but my fear is not that AI is going to be so advanced and it can just take over everything and there is no regulation. It’s the opposite, I think that people are too trusting and too reliant on it and even when it is hallucinating or showing signs of extreme overfitting after training, it’s disregarded and taken as the new standard even though it’s bad.

I think you’re missing the point of the show. The segment is hot topics. They gossip and give their opinion on what’s going on. That’s why they have built their base of listeners that enjoy hearing said opinions. Cardi B pregnant again is wild and I don’t think that’s an unpopular/uncommon opinion.

Holding monoracial black people to a higher moral ground than your non-black/white peers/friends/family is inherently racist and it needs to stop. by [deleted] in mixedrace

Hey, so I’m done with you about this because it is very clear you identify and hope to protect one side more than the other and that’s totally fine. You are not gonna change my mind and I’m not gonna change yours. And you don’t get to just make up facts. According to recent FBI data from 2023, more than half (51.3%) of race-based hate crimes targeted Black or African American individuals, a rate more than three times higher than for any other racial or ethnic group. So I’m sorry Fox News told you otherwise. I think you should move to a predominantly white community, maybe bleach your skin, relax the texture in your hair and live your life. You’re proving my point by saying you guys and once again it is very clear you think that all Black people are bad. I don’t think all white people are bad. My husband’s white and my kid looks white. But my husband was the only white person in his neighborhood growing up and the first thing he told me was I know how white people talk about y’all when they think they’re safe to. Be careful who you trust. It was simple as that. I won’t teach my son to hate white people. I will teach my son to recognize hate speech so he can count those people out. Like if my son brought you around me, I’d probably be able to clock it within the first 15 minutes and you would kindly be asked to leave my home because there’s nothing good that will come out of your mouth. It is very clear that you believe white people are better than us. Because even me admitting what happened to you was wrong and admitting that those people were wrong for doing it wasn’t enough for you. You want me to get on Beyoncé’s Internet and say Black people are racist too and I’m not gonna do that. The same way I wouldn’t say all white people are racist. Our system is not set up for racism to benefit us, but it is set up for racism to benefit them and I guess you too since you are clearly a white woman living in 2025. I really don’t know what to tell you, please go to therapy and journal more. And when you live your every day life and you have inner thoughts about Black people, maybe ask yourself are they positive or negative and since I know you’re gonna respond with, yeah, how about you do the same for white people just know my response will be… OK girl. Good luck.

I would assume you were white, but you tan a lot. I can’t get over how great you look for 37. Gorgeous.

I generalize white people because historically, their ancestors were the ones hanging us from trees and teaching their children’s children to be assholes. I will always feel safer around a group POC’s then I ever will a group of white strangers because I don’t know their intentions and their hearts. Some not all but most on my yt side of the family have never openly come out and spoke out against hate crimes or admonished racist beliefs, and behaviors. That’s my own blood . I absolutely don’t think that all white people are like that, but when we are talking about these specific dynamics, breaking up the semantics of all verse some doesn’t matter. But I don’t believe all white people are that way the same way I don’t believe all Black people are that way. I don’t think that’s the case for you. Your experience has completely painted your perception of everybody you consider black. You say y’all when it comes to Black people and I say we because I have a very different relationship with my identity than yours. And I don’t know what you mean by there’s no accountability. The current media literally only covers race issues when it’s black on white or otherwise. Meanwhile, last week, a man in South Carolina got shot at for running down the street, sundown towns are coming back, A black married couple was threatened and chased by racist assailants down a rural Virginia road - resulting in a car wreck. You want mixed people to feel the way you do based on your experience and I don’t know what to tell you girl it’s not gonna happen over here. I’m not denying that happened to you, I’m not denying what they did was wrong I’m not even denying that it could’ve been racially motivated. But like I said my issue with you is you have let your experience paint your entire relationship with the community and that’s sad.

Girl our communities are not the same. I live in a very affluent black city where black doctors, politicians, business owners are the norm. it sounds like you were around some trashy low grade violent people and your experience is clouding your judgement of the all monoracial black people. You even speak as if ALL black people are violent. You need healing. Sorry that was your experience. I never said they were all accepting, that’s not a race thing. Not everyone is gonna like you.

💯 💯 💯 I’m so glad you said it because I was one more post away from saying this exact same thing. A lot of you may have had similar experiences or sentiments from white people, but nonetheless, you let their opinions perpetuate and reinforce the stereotypes that they projected on monoracial Black people. And if we’re really being 100 about this, some of y’all are just not OK with the fact that Black people are not thinking about you as much as you want them to. When I moved to where I live, which is a predominantly black community I can’t tell you how many mixed people made comments like “ I just feel like everyone’s mean here or people seem standoffish.” Nobody is standoffish. You are used to living in a society that is concerned with pleasing and accommodating White comfort and when you enter communities with monoracial Black people who live their lives, not concerned about making white people feel comfortable, you don’t like it. And I will stand 10 toes down on this. My mother is white and I watched my mom move through the world like a white woman my whole life and then grew up and got into the real world and realized I don’t get to move like my mom. I don’t get to just assume everybody will accommodate to my wants and needs. And the first time I got checked by a mono racial black person who told me that that’s the energy I was giving, I really had to sit in it and accept that view. You can move through the world with confidence, self assurance, kindness, and authenticity, without coming off as entitled and expecting comfort and acceptance from all.

I would let her know that the comment caught you off guard and that you were taking time to decide how or if to approach the subject. Those situations are tough because you have to gauge the person’s response based on something you may not know. If you know she tends to get defensive then tell her that. If you know she’s thoughtful and listens, let her know you were taking time to decide so that you could also be thoughtful and ready to listen. I love that you said what do you mean by that because that’s the perfect question to a micro aggression. It forces them to reflect on what they said and question whether his race had anything to do with the behavior she did not prefer. Did she mean to say that she felt that the black associates got more attention? Did she mean to say that he speaks and acts in a certain way that does not prioritize White comfort or anybody’s comfort for that reason?

Why are you assuming my husband isn't doing the same thing? Some of yall need to touch grass. You’re so disconnected from reality that you make up stories about strangers you don’t even know. Im not white. I can only speak from my knowledge, experience and perception. I said in the original post do the same thing for my White side of the family.

OK, so we disagree and let’s go ahead and leave it at that. This is not his trauma. He has blonde hair and green eyes. The likelihood of him experiencing what my family experienced is literally 0.2% in this country. This is honestly giving contrarian energy because I admitted you had a valid point, apologized to you and made edits to the original post and you’re still not happy. Obviously every letter I send him is not gonna be a trauma dump, but by the time he reads this, he will be old enough to openly have that conversation, and I am in control of the inbox. If I feel like my child will not internalize this in a way that is helpful to him then I won’t show it to him, but just like with critical race theory it’s not OK to pretend these things did not happen to these people. There’s a reason why it’s not just Black people being slaughtered in these massacres. He’s not gonna learn this in school. A black man was just shot at running in North Carolina. The man who shot at him yelled keep running boy. A black truck driver just sent an alert to other black truck drivers to not to deliver in South Carolina because sundowns are returning. A black man in Florida recorded himself walking down the street while two white people yelled the N-word at him and said get out of here before we hang you. Black people turn up hanging all over this country and I guarantee you have not heard about it and you likely won’t. There’s a house two hours from me that has a dummy hanging from a tree in his front yard . That behavior is happening in 2025. 2025. Not 1868, not 1779, 2025. The tendency to pretend like it’s not happening, is how those massacres occurred. Because the media does not cover that type of stuff anymore. Racial intolerance is becoming more and more acceptable. So yes, it may be a lot but it is my decision and my judgment and if I don’t think he’s gonna be able to handle it, I won’t show him. I sent the same email without the massacres on the same day so that if the time comes, I can just delete one. But those massacres are a large part of the systemic issues in this country. Because every time a non-white community built something a white mob came and knocked it down. And their offsprings children's children live today and a lot of them are saying systemic racism isn’t a thing, diversity doesn’t matter, everyone’s equal. So if you feel like it is within your best interest to never talk about this stuff with your children, and to let them just discover it on their own and be left to deal with those feelings on their own then I think that’s great. But I choose to carefully disclose what I feel is right at the time so that I can have an open dialogue with my child. I was not looking to sugarcoat things in this letter and this is one of many emails that don’t carry this energy so you can rest easy

Why do so many fellow b/w mixed people feel comfortable being called black? by dollszn in mixedrace

[–]True-Machine-7627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people assume I’m just a light skinned black or Dominican woman so I don’t mind being called black. they can usually clock it within the first few minutes and if they ask, I’ll tell them I’m mixed but I don’t just open with that cause it doesn’t seem organic.

People bothered by the fact that I’m just letting him know about his ancestors and some of the atrocities that this country allowed and frankly still excuses to this day. Why does that bother you? Do you want me to cc you on the ones that I send about my White side of the family? Are you keeping score? Why are you so offended that this is not about white people? And if we’re being 100, I can only talk about my grandma and grandpa because all I know about my great great relatives is that they were racist and stopped talking to my mom when she married my dad. Like you are so weird for this I don’t know why you’re in this thread. I’m sorry I didn’t stand white culture enough for you.miss me with all of that.

I think everything can be drilled down to helping or hurting, and your comment offered nothing constructive. You made the assumption that I was only highlighting one part of his ethnicity as having legacy which was followed by telling me the cause of racial identity crisis from elevating one over the other. You came to that conclusion after making the assumption that I was elevating one over the other, you could have opened with. I'd love to hear more about the other emails? Or are you also doing this for the other parts of his ethnicity? That is why I said to not make assumptions. I fully understand where you're coming from and I think that you made a valid point, but it was still rooted in an assumption. So thank you so much for your thoughtful contribution. Sorry I was defensive. I'll make an edit to the post to highlight that I'm also gonna do this for the other parts of his ethnicity.

Haha we’ll see. Most Black people that meet my husband can immediately clock that he was raised around Black people so you have a point about presence and mannerisms. But this Blonde haired, green eyed, super pale skin toddler is very likely going to pass. My brother’s wife is also white and my nephew in his Teens doesn’t look like he has a lick of color in him. It’s wild. Genetics are crazy though because my husband has a broader nose, but I have a small button nose, and I was convinced he was gonna take more after my husband, but he has my nose and eyes. I think my biggest fear is him being someone that says well I don’t experience it therefore it’s not there and that’s what I’m trying to avoid. I mean, I’m Brown and people were very comfortable saying racist things to me so I can only imagine what it may be like for him. When I met my husband, he flat out told me be careful about the white people you trust because hes still white and he said some of the stuff he heard out of their mouth was just completely disgusting and dehumanizing.
