    Holy shit, what the fuck causes white boomer women to think I, a 30 something brown man, would be interested them?

    These are the vibes I’m getting at work and it’s extremely disturbing.

    I was talking to my dad today sharing some good and very important family news.

    Dad: I’m just a little sad right now, my friend was killed yesterday.

    Me: Oh my God! What happened? Which friend?

    D: My friend Charlie.

    M: Charlie? Who’s Charlie?

    D: Charlie Kirk.

    M: PFFFFFFT LOL

    Apparently we all lost a really intelligent man who just wanted to help other people. And he was not talking about the killer.

    Now I’m thinking about environmental racism, the capitalist class truly love shitting where they don’t eat. Fuck factory farming, fuck oil pipelines and fuck AI data centers. There are more things to list but I’m hungry rn. Guess it’s colonialism all the way down same like with the police.

        it’s the “our industrial revolution was cool and good but theirs is unnecessary” shit turning around like they actually care instead of an attempt to knee cap other countries to preserve their power.

      To add to this: if you think about where most oil refinement facilities are located as well as other environmentally harmful industries (think chemical processing, industrial farming, etc) in the US and Canada, the people who are almost always disproportionately affected are black and brown people.

      I was thinking about this because there was recently a story of how some white suburbanites are upset because a storage battery facility was going to be put in the neighborhood. And I started thinking about how much attention the story would have gotten if it had been a predominantly black/brown neighborhood.

      Shit fucking sucks.

        There was a documentary recent one about how musk data centers were affecting those communities in horrible ways and nothings being done. Was from more perfect union.

        Yup I first heard of this when it came to pipelines running to close to white cities but indigenous people’s land is alright why not. The power white people have to move shit can’t be understated.

    Bringing up racism in white people’s favorite escapism fantasy settings always leaves them reeling especially if they feel themselves as progressive in some manner. The headspace I get from them is “I’m not doing a racism myself just letting it slide from friends/family/strangers whenever it comes up, how am I the bad guy?” They more confrontational at being called racist than they feel like confronting the racist culture around them.

    I remember this episode of static shock where Virgil’s dad was dating a cop acab-3 and like Virgil runs away from the cops when they were gonna go through his backpack. The show goes out of its way of justifying from the cops perspective because they really really need to find something super duper important 🥺 nvm 4th amendment protections.

    I know it’s still cape shit but in the first season I quite liked it because of it’s themes of community and understanding. The show got bigger and eventually folded into the DC universe but that wasn’t why I was there to begin with.

      I remember watching a little bit of that show when I was a kid. I don’t remember if it stopped airing on local networks or something because I think I only ever got to see about 4 episodes.

    My non-white coworker, who takes public transit, is very shaken up about what happened in NC. I know it’s not technically racial but also I know it is.

    A whitey just shot up 20 children not even a month ago. Random violence is as amerikan as apple pie but whiteys wanna act like only Black people are violent.

    i dont think ill ever get into superhero media in a way a lot of people are. its like greek mythology/percy jackson-esque fandoms. theres just very little for me to identify with. the exceptionalism of it all. yes im sure its easy to be a “good person” when you literally cant lose because youre that much better than anyone else. pretty much no stakes either because of that. its just masturbatory.

    read something like journey to the west or watch the 1986 show instead.

        thats the thing, dragon ball shares a lot of elements with superheroes yes, but it was first heavily inspired by journey to the west first and foremost. goku is exceptional but not in the ways thats totally inherent to his birthright. among the saiyans he was a destined low class warrior. half of the time he’s sparring with forces matching him or even beyond him. most of the time the struggle against antagonists in each arc is a group effort that doesnt necessarily rely solely on his individual role.

        its these elements that i think is how goku managed to resonate with so much with people in the global south. it aint just a meme

      That’s one reason Spiderman was popular. He’s very relatable guy that is the underdog in a lot of fights and an underdog in his personal life. A working class guy doing the right thing. Jokes a ton because he’s legit nervous so he isn’t the stoic stone faced guy like a lot of traditional heroes are. One of the best scenes in a superhero movie is in spiderman 2 when the civilians took his mask off and found he was a kid. I just don’t get that feeling much with MCU spiderman tbh

        Spideyverse is legitimately groundbreaking for me. The first super hero movie where I actually felt seen for the first time.

        Unlimited spideyverse type movies on the capeshit world.

          You could make several movies just from each characters in the spideyverse. Like one for miguel as to how he became who he is. Or spider punk.

    I’m at a point where I functionally can no longer see myself in a relationship with a non-Black person again. I’ve been thinking a lot on this subject, and my mind has been kind of uncertain these past few months or so.

    What I ultimately came to realize is that, in the context of how I view love, there will be always be something critically lacking in any relationship I’d have with a non-Black person.

    At first, the thought of continuing to accept non-Black partners seemed possibly within my reach so long as they truly were based, were radical, and understood how to fight against anti-Blackness, and as great as some non-Black people are in these regards, I’m now at a point where the thought of dating any non-Black person feels as right as the thought of dating a conservative.

    Of course, that’s not me saying it’s as bad—hell no. My point is that it just indescribably feels “off” in a way that no amount of other things we have in common can reconcile. Very much needed solidarity will always be missing.

    Ideally, I want a partner who has a lot of things in common with me (the aforementioned 5 traits I’ve brought up several times). However, to keep my pool somewhat open, I’m going to base my search for a partner (when I’m ready—not a priority at the moment) off of these three things: Blackness, queerness, and veganism.

    I’ll go from there, but what I can certainly say now is that I will never entertain romantic and/or intimate encounters with non-Black people ever again.

      I landed in a different position, but I think this is something a lot of Black people have to reckon with internally at some point, and I’m glad you found your answer!

      Sad no one at work brought it up yesterday so I could laugh. Then again a lot of my coworkers are based enough to have laughed and joked when Queen Elizabeth died, so I might have been pleasantly surprised by the reactions.

    Police watch me sometimes when I’m at the park, they haven’t harassed me or anything and I’m usually too zoned out reading/writing/listening to music most of the time. I do think they are getting annoyed with me being so boring, idk having to preform and like this is eh. I’m used to by now always being put under a microscope, like it doesn’t help my anxiety most of the time but sometimes I just wanna be invisible.
