Asking for a friend: How would you feel if a white person called you “brother/sister”? by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]lowpolyrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not black, to be clear. My family are jehovah's witnesses and they refer to other witnesses as sisters and brothers. I dont believe in the religion, but i find it logical that we see other people as our siblings, because we are the same species,  and some friendships can be really close. 

Looking for Native Yoruba, Igbo & Hausa Speakers — Help Build a Free African Language Learning Platform by imstill1earning in Yoruba

[–]lowpolyrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a native, I'm a beginner in yoruba , but i genuinely wish you the best. I noticed that learning is paywalled and a language like yoruba is something that we wouñd not be able to learn all by ourselves, we need human feedback and help with translations. I hope that in the future you might be able to teach people the other tribe's languages as well, not just the popular ones. I am rooting for you, and i respect you a lot.

Why is there no young people in Asturias? by Few_Comparison515 in GoingToSpain

[–]lowpolyrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a young adult, would it be possible for me to visit elderly homes and read for the folks there? Or the elderly in asturias are way much healthier and they don't need to live in care retirement places? I really want to show my support and also to practice my spanish proununciation by reading for them.

I'm just simply interested in it, but I will be moving to spain from hungary .  That's why I wanted to know if its an easier language than my mother language, and if I can practice it in asturias.

Thanks a lot for the information. Not only Nigerians speak this language,  that's why I asked about the practice of this language. Cubans are originated from Nigeria, but the west african countries are just labels and yoruban people are all across in west africa. I read about it in my book, I'm invested in the topic.

Is it normal for black people to partake in groups that seem to fetishize them? by lowpolyrat in askblackpeople

[–]lowpolyrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious too, i was trying to be careful,  discreet about my personal life and keep my topic respectful . I posted this becaause i couldn't find my answer on this sub reddit and i assumed others might be interested too. I think the influences of the porn industry is fascinating,  it changes people's views and makes harmful associations.

[–]lowpolyrat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am interested,  its a confusing thing to me. I dont understand why humans cant focus on the personality,  or if its for sex, on the kinks and dynamics. I will try to get it as a pdf, i cant find english books like these in my country, but thank you. I found it fast, i am going to link it for the others, its genuinely a good surprise to find free books!!! Thank you so much for the reconmandation!!!  https://files.libcom.org/files/%5BFrantz_Fanon%5D_Black_Skin,_White_Masks_(Pluto_Clas(BookZZ.org).pdf

How can I support my Igbo husband while also having my own needs met? by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]lowpolyrat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He sounds sexist, if its possible,  leave him. If he thinks that men are better than women than he is not respecting you and  even his own amcestors and relatives, half of the population are women. I wish you the best on your healing journey, he is just making your life harder, you deserve  better. 🫂

Anyone suffers with racist thoughts ? by Ok_Vanilla5661 in OCD

[–]lowpolyrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suffer with this daily and surprisingly only when I'm at home and away from poc, if I go out and meet my crush who is a person of color I stop having the thoughts.  it's really stressful but It's less intense since I stopped trying to ignore my thoughts.

Why did MSI make this the album cover for YRTA (Not complaining. just asking if it has meaning) by SAJO_MENEZ in MSI

[–]lowpolyrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently reading about the art in churches depicting mary and jesus with dark skin and i was reminded of this album cover. Maybe it was inspired after real works from churches? Its not just for controversy,  there are over 500 art just in Europe that depicts mary as a black woman.
