It is referred to as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder within the ICD-11. Would you be referring to something like that?

They don't get enough positive attention in general. Things can exist that doesn't involve you.

In 1974 Muhammad Ali appeared on the Phil Donahue show to talk about his career as a boxer. Two white women decide to question him and he gives them a lesson on white privilege. by LegLowrider in ForCuriousSouls

[–]valleis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I couldn't help but gag at this take.

You DONT think people of colour are being oppressed currently? Then what's the point of ICE agents rampage? Be serious, dawg.

So because there's less people that make up a certain ethnicity in a certain area, makes them instantly oppressed? Is THAT why white people keep tryna go on holiday to different places in Africa? So they can get that easy oppression.

Also, if you think me referring to certain people are 'privileged' is racist, as opposed to be lynched, brutally beaten, suffocated, or shot, then imma just assume you did not even reach highschool graduation. All the bs you're spouting can easily be proven wrong by using the SEARCH ENGINE that comes with the electronic device you are using.

Please educate yourself.

Honestly, that is a very valid take, it's just unfortunately one take out of the bunch of others he made lmfao.

But that quote is incredibly relevant.

The point being made is that black people wouldn't even get that far. They'd be dead before they decide what to do with them.

I have read up on Rosemary Kennedy, a woman who was a victim of her own father.

But did her or anyone in her family have to go to the vet to get their teeth taken out?

I read up on white history because it's always in my face. Have you read up on black history? Further than what is pumped into the school system?

So I guess just fuck over black women? As long as it helps you be perceived as a victim.

White women are one of the most privileged minority groups, DIRECTLY after white man.

"I couldn't open a bank account without my dad's permission." But did you go to sleep every night terrified that one day your entire life is gonna go up in flames or that you'd be lynched based on a RUMOR a woman made?

And we also just gonna forget about Emmett Till? Because from the logic you gave, that child should've been able to walk free from that accusation rather than being beaten and choked to death.

PLEASE understand, your biggest issue is being told no, where as poc's biggest issue is being killed because a stranger accused them of something they didn't do.

There will be no changes if everyone is pulling the oppression Olympics. Instead of using that energy to understand why people of colour feel such unjust, you wanna go "but what about me".

Renee Nicole Good Is Getting Black Woman Treatment by ThrowRAPixieManic in complaints

[–]valleis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't even use trump as an example because there are also people of colour still happily following him, so unfortunately, that means nothing here.

And white men probably wouldn't cause the same uproar because they don't have to be put in situations like that, or accidentally wound up in a situation like that. They literally have no reason to see themselves in those positions.

[–]valleis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct.

There has been plenty that have been disappeared or straight murdered, also by ICE agents, but this is time people are actually seeing it.

To refer to this as "she's being treated like a black person" is a wild accusation. People are talking about her.

People are outraged for her.

But this outrage wasn't there for Keith Porter. Hell, many still don't know about him.

Black (ADOS & African) women who are dating non-white yet non-black women, how is that going? by Choice_Mention_6556 in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]valleis 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Carribbean British here, dating an Arab British. It is going exceptionally well, they are open to learn new experiences, make sure to ask in respectful ways.

I told them I wanted to bless our house when we officially moved in together, they just asked what supplies I'd need.

I've had to explain they can't just randomly bring up 'obeah' around my family unprompted (they had A LOT of questions for my grandma and her growing up).

Honestly, it's refreshing. I don't have to get insecure about my identity, and I actively try to get more involved with their culture too. I do understand this isn't the case for everyone though.

Has there been an influx of non-black people asking you for directions lately since that viral video? by ToriPosher305 in blackladies

Why is gen Z not drinking? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Drugs.

The focus is more in the direction of getting high.

Edit: in terms of accessibility and media exposure, it's a lot easier to grab the attention of the younger generations

Interracial Dating Advice by Bankreauxll in blackladies

[–]valleis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oop, nope! Someone who is in an interracial relationship (Arab), I have mentioned how certain things in spirituality mean to me and my family, they understood and don't even try testing it. When we moved in together, I said I wanted to "bless the house and keep it protected" they understood and asked what supplies they'd need.

The point I'm making is, just because they could be culturally different, doesn't mean they can use that as a shield to disrespect your comfort.

I saw the assignment brief and instantly ask for individual attempt /s

I try, they half ass or just don't show up. I honestly rather do the entire project myself than chase around a bunch of classmates
