Accusing a black woman of doing blackface is fucking weird.

Apytele , (edited )

I’ve seen people make blackface accusations over tanning spray and charcoal blackhead masks.

Just today I got accused of transphobia again (on a different site) because somebody didn’t like my own lived experiences with the intersection between my transness and my exploration of non-judeo-christian spirituality.

Like, I’ve had surgery to remove gendered parts. Twice. And I get called transphobic all. the. time. I literally just can’t with that entire community they’re so fucking detached from the rest of society in their little insular bubble where they take every single little thing waaay too seriously such that half the shit they say makes 0 sense. They’re so hung up on people they barely know following every single linguistic rule they made up in their little bubble and conceptualizing their gender in all its aspects exactly the same way they do that they’re impossible to deal with.

My nibling who just came out themselves had a nasty breakup because the other person insisted that the way they were cuddling them was misgendering them. Just completely unhinged.

I just want people to not give a a shit about my gender and I’m happy. You mind your business I’ll mind mine. But god forbid I say that I can’t personally empathize with the concept of gender at all. Apparently being surgically confirmed nonbinary isn’t enough to have my own experiences and feelings about my gender or lack thereof.

Being trans isn’t in itself a mental illness but I’ve definitely noticed a trend of trauma from the wider societal nonacceptance leading to a much higher incidence of mental illnesses in that community. That plus the missing elders that died during the AIDs crisis has left a huge number of LGBT kids just absolutely fucking feral ffs.

Sorry this got off topic but yeah anyway I’m turning into an old person at an alarming rate. I wish I had a trans community of people to spend time with who weren’t fucking insane, but we can’t always get what we want (which is a lesson a LOT of those people need to learn).

It’s practically a mental health bingo board at this point…

weird -> racist

It really is weird.

Black dude promoting black apartheid is indeed weird.

henfredemars ,

Who?

Will Pierce. Who is this nobody? I mainly find Fox News and conservative think tanks on a quick search underlining how he’s some kind of GOP turncoat, and he doesn’t have a Wikipedia page. So some dude doesn’t like Harris.

Wait, so Obama is black because his father is black and now Harris isn’t black even though her father is black? Do these idiots even hear themselves?

n2burns ,

It feels like their rules are if your part minority, you’re a minority (which is how society treats people). However, you can only be a maximum of one minority in each category. Harris can be a women, but she can’t be both Indian and Black.

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

Their rules are you are whatever is beneficial to the propaganda web we’re currently spinning. Next week she’ll be black again.

vanontom ,
@vanontom@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. It’s not worth any time trying to figure out their “rules”, because there are none, and they don’t need any. These deranged morons are unburdened by logic (or principles, morals, honesty, consistency). And there are entire industries now grinding out profit from the idiocy and hate. It’s just business.

Etterra ,

I think it’s more like they can’t comprehend being half black if the other half is not white. Which really gives you some insight into what they think about everybody that isn’t white. The Republican worldview on race is the same as their worldview on everything else: literally black and white.

@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That seems to be the general thrust, but I have seen a few not-so-bright sparks suggest that Jamaicans aren’t really black.

I even saw one person suggest that the fact that she is descended from an Irish plantation owner means she can’t be black. Which, gee, I wonder why a black person would be descended from a plantation owner?

someguy3 ,

[Whistling sound intensifies.]

TheOctonaut ,

Are you sure it was an Irish plantation owner? Most of the time Irish people in the Caribbean were working on plantations, not owning them. From what I’ve read, the person in question was a British person from Antrim - which is on the island of Ireland, but is part of the UK and was itself “plantationed” by Britain.

It would be weird for example to refer to George Orwell as Indian, Louis Theroux as Singaporean or Duke Wellington as Irish - after all, “being born in a stable does not make one a horse” as the Duke put it when ‘accused’ of being Irish.

ImADifferentBird ,
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Honestly, I’m just repeating what the moron said there. I have no idea if she is actually is descended from an Irish plantation owner. But even if she was, that still doesn’t make her not black. There’s a lot of black people descended from white plantation owners, and it’s not for good reasons that are beneficial to them.

Michelle Obama had white ancestors.

npr.org/…/the-complex-tapestry-of-michelle-obamas…

So we can say she’s white now, yes?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I doubt whoever is claiming that you’re not black if you’re descended from a white plantation owner and black people really cares whether or not it’s genealogically accurate.

someguy3 ,

No you see he wasn’t black, he was just born in Kenya, and many people are born in Kenya, you don’t have to be black to be born in Kenya, i have many friends born in Kenya, Ok I’m done /s.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I think we need to talk about how Obama is white. It both uses their own stupid so-called logic against them and would seriously piss them off.

Ghyste ,

Newsmax will say anything to stay relevant, and their audience eats it up.

barsquid ,

Anything except that Dominion altered the votes. There’s one way to make them tell the truth. Well, at least make them stop telling one specific lie.

superminerJG ,

Republicans try not to talk about Harris’s race challenge (impossible)

Quill7513 ,

Newsmax actively ignores what its like to live in a race coded society as a minority because They’re only talking to people who haven’t lived as being in an oppressed minority. The ignorance is the point. They’ll say whatever shit will play with their white audience that will make them respect a candidate less.

Cosmos7349 ,

tbf she does have a black face. That’s probably what they were trying to say.

Iapar ,

That is a childish accusation.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, children are smarter than that. They’ll look at her and tell this Newsmax idiot that she’s black.

foggy ,

I cannot think of a more desperate attempt at being apart of a fascist crew lmoa fuck this turd

That’s… just her face

She went to a historic black college and joined a black sorority… But sure, question her history on representing her black heritage

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Oh my god, she knew she was going to run for president before she went to college! 12D chess!

Very weird.

I know we don’t do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.

I don’t agree with either of those points, but it’s silly to pretend they are the same.

eestileib ,

Yeah we all know being black is the fast track to being elected president.

ByteOnBikes ,

These conservative news are really struggling.

Waiting for one to drop the N word.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

They have. It’s now “DEI hire”
