Your personal Tumblr library awaits
Honestly if someone doesn’t want to date me because I’m black… Fine? Why should I give a shit, there are plenty of people who’d date me and not give a shit. If it came down to some gross secondary beliefs about black females, than the problem isn’t ’they don’t want to date me :(‘ it’s ’they believe black females are dirty’ or whatever and that’s the thing we’d have to talk about. The dating part would be irrelevant. And if someone ever felt forced to ‘At least give a black female a chance’ it’d be REALLY uncomfortable and objectifying. Like, this has nothing to do with me or how interesting I am, you’re here because you don’t want to feel racist. I could be replaced with any nonwhite person. I’m just a prop here. It seems kind of fucked up why do people act like they want that?
‘This is just like if there was pushback against not being attracted to <insert any other kind of person>’
Yeah I actually find those, ‘if you find yourself not attracted to <group> check yourself’ posts gross too actually. I’m a believer in radical consent: You’re allowed to say no at any time, to any person, for any reason and no one should ever be shamed for denying someone access to their body. Sorry if that upsets people but I’m not sorry for holding to that belief.
