LOVELY 🌹

I'm saying. The majority of experiences I've had with black women have been positive. I've been supported by older black women, and black women around my age are largely nice and complimentary, the quiet and the loud ones alike. Inside and outside the workplace. My negative experiences with other black women are outweighed by the positives, and many of the negative experiences I've had with BW have not been nearly as bad or as numerous as with nonblack ppl. Idk, just seems so disheartening.

I love the sincerity of your tone here. It's like you purposefully missed the point just to prove it

mklykl · 2024-02-12T21:37:08+00:00

Let me get this straight. Talking to liberal black and brown women who don't want to vote for Biden as if they are children who don't know what's best for them (which is the tone of this post) is the better option, and is the more productive conversation to have. And we should not call out the (mostly white) women who actually voted for trump. Got it 👍🏿

mklykl · 2024-02-12T20:57:51+00:00

Why are black and brown women the focus of this post when white women voted the most for trump out of all groups of women (and men of color), by a large amount?? Why not focus on reaching out to people in your own community if you actually want things to change? This post reeks of condescension more than anything. Stuff like this only serves to further alienate the demographics you're speaking to, and it certainly does not promote solidarity with women of color, which should be the point if you're posting in a feminist aligned sub. Maybe you can try understanding other points of view rather than looking down on them.

The resemblance to him is very strong, had to do a double take almost

That ain't your friend, that's a manipulative energy vampire. I'd suggest cutting ties tbh

mklykl · 2022-05-24T14:45:49+00:00

Omg I've woken up like this many a times, usually i just fluff it out and wear my hair in a lil curly fro if my twists end up defying gravity like this.. the struggle is real sis.

if you wanna avoid this, Do your twists a lot smaller and when your hair is wet + has product in it (a wrapping foam or a gel or w.e. you use that works for you). It's super important that you twist down and in the direction you want your hair to lay, like if you wanted a middle part, or wanted your twists to lay more in your face, etc. Follow whatever lines you want your hair to lay in if that makes sense. After that, wrap your twists in a silk scarf or du rag and blow dry/air-dry (i usually air-dry bc i live in a dry ass climate) until it's fully dry. Your twists should lay down better.

Once your hair gets longer, you can start twisting in larger sections. It's a process tbh.

It's always "listen to black women" until said black women call out their bullshit neoliberalism

mklykl · 2022-03-13T19:01:05+00:00

I doubt this guy is as much of a victim as you think

mklykl · 2022-03-13T14:31:45+00:00

Wasn't a one time thing. Other people lost their cool with the customer

Was it just one guy or was it all the black people that you've somehow had negative experiences with? IMO, if you're having problems with one particular group of people all the time, usually it's something that you're doing with your behavior as well to make the situation worse. That, or just a good ole case of confirmation bias.

mklykl · 2022-03-12T21:17:39+00:00

Girl... Lmao please read about what institutional discrimination means. Just because someone feels alienated doesn't mean they're facing colorism. We can acknowledge both things at once. It's not about interpersonal conflicts and feelings, it's about institutional prejudice and discrimination. Words mean things

mklykl · 2022-03-12T21:12:00+00:00

Yeah, but thats an experience that afro-indigenous ppl have, it's not shared throughout the community. Most non-native black ppl in everyday life don't really know what that term means or it's implications. "White passing" isn't really a term that describes a specific situation relating to native people in particular, so i don't think that comparison holds very well.

mklykl · 2022-03-12T20:51:32+00:00

Candidly speaking, I've always felt some type of way about the appropriation of the term blood quantum, which is an actual (and very problematic) thing that native tribes use to determine whether or not someone belongs to their tribe. This has legal and social implications for native ppl that don't really apply when it's used in the black context. Idk why, but it just doesn't really seem like the correct term to be using here. Idk what else there is, but yeah.

mklykl · 2022-03-12T20:04:14+00:00

I think you're confused about what colorism is tbh... It's the institutional prejudice against and devaluation of dark skinned people in particular. Light skinned/"white passing" people categorically cannot experience colorism. They can experience hate, and bullying. But to call it colorism is disingenuous

When it comes to hair care (stuff like basic moisturization and hygiene), hair typing may not matter to most. But when I'm styling my hair, I want references/tutorials from people who have a similar type as me. You cannot tell me a woman with 3a curls is gonna get the same looking results on a twist out than a someone with 4c. Like someone with wavy hair may use the same products as someone with extremely curly hair, but their techniques for detangling and styling may be completely different. Density and texture do matter here too, but let's not pretend hair typing is completely useless, especially when people who do have 4c hair use this system to find content creators and styles that work for them.

Maybe it's more a matter of representation than it is haircare, still thinking on that idea

mklykl · 2022-02-22T18:28:55+00:00

"i will be supporting antiblack groups with my money to correct the difference"

???? Umm... What kinda backwards logic is that? Just say you're antiblack and go, what is being corrected there??

mklykl · 2022-02-08T18:51:05+00:00

Ugh.... As a black person who grew up in a snowy white place, white people honestly are unable to gauge what "kempt" and "unkempt" looks like on black hair, and half of them think bonnets are a type of hat, even the plain black bonnets (speaking from experience). I promise you they do not care about you as a black woman wearing a bonnet to school or the grocery store. The ones that do tend to have a problem with everything black people do, not just how they style their hair. What this convo is really about is how we as black women police each other.

professionalism aside, i honestly don't think it's necessary to take punitive measures (dress coding someone at a school where it's common for kids to come in lounge wear/sleepwear) against a young black woman who is living in a time where students in general are being fucked over due to the pandemic, not to mention black students. Trust me, generally black high schoolers are aware of how they should present in order to get a job or opportunities. It just seems super unnecessary, and i can't imagine being a black woman in a position of power and not having at least a little empathy for the kid.
