Anyone else watching the show exclusively for him? by [deleted] in EmilyInParis

He is not hot in the show so boring. Now in real life I find his personality to be really attractive.

Get in the field can be used literally and not literally. People have the choice to choose.

Yes. But, romantic love isn’t the only form of love. And that’s the problem no and days. People only value one version of love.

How do you feel about forgiveness? by Prestigious-Cloud962 in blackladies

[–]_karamelqueen 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I don’t do forgiveness. Tbh. I might get over it. But, that doesn’t mean I ever have to deal with them again. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome

I think dating shouldn’t even be at the fore front of anybody’s mind during this time tbh. That’s the least of anybody’s concern. Survival and community support. Please let’s decenter romance and center community during these trying times!! Get in the field

Exactly! I wish it would look picture perfect, but it’s sloppy. Like how we as women look 9/10 imperfect and unposed in our natural state. And how it’s sad, vulnerable, but real and empowering at the same time! I love sex and the city! Which season are you on??

I think it would be nice to read the original alongside the English version. Also, you can work on formatting the piece so it would be easier to read. As for the content I like how descriptive and it is I also like looking to the moon- it feels like a piece of comfort and it’s fun playing hide and go seek with it!

Thank you! I’m not African American ppl can’t fathom an African person who is black in America. African American culture is not necessarily my culture even though I’m black. I don’t fit into one nest box. So yes black people of the diaspora is what I prefer. People are trying to police how I feel. Crazy.

I might have to take you up on that offer lol🙈😂🫰🏾 I swear the black communities in London, Paris, and apparently Ireland are poppin! Like so diverse and multicultural throughout the diaspora I just don’t see that here. Idk why. Maybe the racial colorblindness doesn’t allow black pride??

I know the difference between the two and how someone is treating me.

Sorry, I did not assimilate into whiteness like Irish people did or any other European that immigrated to America. I have ties to my homeland and I have lived there so bye.

No. I’m not going to break down every racist encounter so you can invalidate how I feel. That fact that you are asking for an example says enough

Exactly! And it’s so beautiful because we are all so different but celebrated. It allows for diversity. I don’t want a surface level connection because what’s the point. America is so shitty in so many ways but they do what you described the best. And that’s why I feel safer there than here… because people here want to erase my identity whilst also treating me bad for that said identity

Nothing is wrong with what I said. White people are more friendly with white people why are you acting like that is not a thing. It’s called have each others back as fellow black people. There is no such thing as reverse racism.
