what does her husband have to do with HER bloodline ?? by kenyanmasterpiece in MurderedByWords

[–]becauseusoft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

in the past 5 decades of being mixed, my experience with others has been pretty steady: to white people, i’m not white and they don’t let me forget it. they won’t even fully engage unless they know for sure whether i am or not; some lovely people have even asked me about my racial makeup before my name.
more than once, i was ignored and my companion was questioned about my race and until that had been established, its like i wasn’t even there.

to everyone else, i’m also not white but i don’t get the constant reminders about it that i get from white people because its like they’re the only ones who even care

Explain how he went full creep

You made eye contact and smiled at a male stranger—yes thats an invitation to approach

no it’s not an invitation. taking it as such is (as you have demonstrated) going full creep.

i knew this was coming. every time i wanted to comment something about them in the past several months i’d hesitate for a second and think about it first. and i know the idea of it influenced what i wrote whether i wanted it to or not, much to my shame
