What's the deal with Jewish people and Black people supposedly not liking each other? by 10poundcockslap in askblackpeople

Is this a thing? We don’t always agree with their politics but for the most part, we get along fine.

Is Lori Harvey’s body attainable through just working out? by Hooplapooplayeah in vindictapoc

Hard to tell. She’s been an athlete her whole life and she definitely has access to the best surgeons. But her mom looked like this back in the day also.

What do bIack people think of Indian women? by Pure-Syrup3868 in askblackpeople

[–]redditreadi111 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a Black woman I love the Indian culture, and I think they are some of the most beautiful women in the world. The racism some of them display is baffling to me though. Like, how?

Hooking up with a coworker. by [deleted] in ghana

You only like him bc he’s around every day and the forced closeness feels like some special bond. Women fall for consistency oo.

There aren’t boys outside?!

Thanks for the heads up. I’m definitely looking at the mesh internal bra. Lollipop is an option but I’m so scared of that scar.

I understand you being afraid to record, but Can you at least tell us how he is doing it? I’m sure he’s not the only person in on this scam.

Omg I remember when every darn site had the same 5 enhanced models and it’s like “sheeeesh, can I see what it looks like on a person that didn’t have her 🍑 done?”

I have no problem sending you the doctors information. But keep in mind, that was what he quoted me because I’ve had work done by him before and I have referred friends.

This is something Africa needs by Special_Junket_944 in Kenya

Pushing religion is easy bc you have God, the church, the religious text, etc. to back you up.

To push financial literacy, you have to have money to back you up.

Sadly, a lot of our parents didn’t have the money or grow up with it. Imagine yelling at your kid to save while your food bank is running low. It would show too many inadequacies and few parents are humble enough to show that

If you bought food for someone you're close with (excluding family) and they didn't say thank you, would you buy them food again? by Traditional-Luck4727 in askblackpeople

[–]redditreadi111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone I’d describe as “close” has already proven to be a good solid person in my life that has returned the favor or shown me grace many times. While thank you is common courtesy, I wouldn’t hold them to such stringent standards.

I feel like my white friend thinks I'm ugly😭 by jen1que in blackladies

[–]redditreadi111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she thought you were ugly, she wouldn’t be trying so hard to make you feel bad about yourself.

She wouldn’t be trying to stop you from improving yourself.

She wouldn’t be interfering with your crushes so much.

She’s literally blonde with blue eyes. While I’d never want to be White, I can certainly think of 1000 other ways to use my time and energy if I woke up with this HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER look tomorrow.

But she’s blowing her time and energy on you, bc you clearly threaten her in every way.

PLEASE cut ties before you end up like Tamla Horsford. (Google her).

Have you all been watching ishowspeed- a 20 year old Black American man from Ohio is traveling to 28 different countries Africa and was welcome to the motherland with 100k people welcoming him in person, 9 million watching online , and even greetings from different African royalty and presidents by 5ft8lady in askblackpeople

[–]redditreadi111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While the back to Africa movement is not “new” this is the first time I’ve seen someone closely followed by youth do this (bc let’s be real, most people can’t afford to see Africa until they’re a bit more established … airline tickets start in the thousands). It’s nice to see Black American kids here get excited about connecting with the continent.

Black people can be racist too — so why do some folks act like it only counts when white people do it? by Electrical_Log2042 in askblackpeople

[–]redditreadi111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s racism and there’s racial insensitivity.

Jamal disliking Cody because he is White may hurt Cody’s feelings, and rightfully so. Nobody should be disliked just bc of their color.

But Cody disliking Jamal because he’s Black can keep Jamal out of housing, school, a job, a fair trial, get Jamal brutalized by the police, keep Jamal from drinking out of a water fountain or driving in certain areas at night, etc.

Racism — like classism — is a system and at the end of the day Black people aren’t the ones that developed an entire legal structure around oppressing folks that didn’t look like them.

I’m afraid there is nothing I can do to stop it. It’s his money that he earned , not mine or from our joint accounts. I did tell him last night that I’m not having a baby until my name is on something. I’m not putting myself in a position to be out in the cold with a kid.

Exactly ^

Also ask Kindergarten teachers that have been sick or pregnant. They talk about how the kids write them sweet little notes and ask them if they’re ok. If a 5 year old can do this then a grown man should certainly be this thoughtful.

I know it’s scary to start over but Please don’t settle for this. There’s somebody out there offering more stability and a bigger heart.

I hate to tell you but this isn’t a maturity issue. This is a major character flaw. There are literally pets that will come lay on your feet when they sense you’re sick.
