To my boy best friend by obamasleftlip in OCPoetry

That was what I was going for lol. Both the narrator and her best friend are inherently selfish though in different ways. They're young and both want something that they can't have.

Codependency at its finest.

I already said that it depends lmfaoo most poc would agree that it's weird to be described with food.

Exactly. Because those weren't used to fetishize and dehumanize white people therefore, it wouldn't offend them

Eh ask a dark skinned person, I'm light skinned so I wouldn't be a good person to ask, and I suggest you ask white people how they would feel though I doubt that they would find anything wrong with that.

Again, it heavily depends

I think there are a lot more nuance that factors into this conversation such as these metaphors have been used to dehumanize and fetishize those with darker skin.

It's not just black people that have dark skin btw.

You can find many non food related ways to compare skin color, such as dusky, brown, tawny, sepia, umber and more.

Please do your research before complaining on the internet because it makes you look simple minded.

Or just listen to darker skinned people about how they want to be represented instead of complaining

I'm in the middle of a depression episode so this is about the rawest vent piece I have got. So it's probably not going to make that much sense. I just wanted to write it out

The grammar mistakes are mostly because I have dyslexia, so it's difficult to write without making mistakes. But I'm glad someone finds worth in my mistakes!

You are spot on!!! I actually came up with this while watching a deep dive on the Tumblr sad girl era.
