@ChrissiesWay @popinghottea @ParisMilanYT as a mixed black girl (my dad is biracial so I& #39;m like 75% black and like 25% Indian) I& #39;ll tell on us all (yes including the light skinned biracials) . Yeah it& #39;s true. We do think we& #39;re better than black women.
We are raised to believe we& #39;re better. And no. This isn& #39;t a tweet where I& #39;m trying to say that I am better than black women in anyway or still believe that I am. I& #39;m just here to out both myself and all the lightskinned biracials yeah it& #39;s true.
And I& #39;m saying all of this in present tense because it never stopped and parents of children with just a microscopic amount of non blackness in their kids are still doing this. Like my family stopped eventually but that don& #39;t mean every other fam stopped too
Like yeah I know NOW (at 19yrs/old smhhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😒" title="Unamused face" aria-label="Emoji: Unamused face">) that with only 25% non black DNA (and it wasn& #39;t even white) that I& #39;m still a whole 75% black. And I& #39;m dark skinned. And unambiguous. That I& #39;m not any better than any other black woman. Primary school me would have cussed u out if said it.
People told me I was a pretty kid even though I looked black. Thing is I had my biracial dad& #39;s face. (even tho he had black features too) so ppl would gush and be like "She looks like her Indian daddy! THAT& #39;S WHY SHE& #39;S PRETTY!"
People wuld tell me I was pretty but THEY& #39;D MAKE SURE I knew it was because my dad is biracial. They gassed my little ego up all throughout pre school & primary (gr1 to gr7) school "non-blackness" and I based my entire self worth on my 25% Indian blood.
If I was like that with only a BIRACIAL dad and I was unambiguously black and dark skinned you can only IMAGINE what the girls who LOOK VISIBALLY NON-BLACK are raised like. Shit.
