maybe she likes platinum blond hair. this is possible as a black person w/o self-hate.

but it makes me think of how black women are so heavily scrutinized for everything they do as if they created this mess?

like, i took some really great bettie page style photos and some of them, my ass is the main feature. theyre obvs really retro,

however, im black, so while a white woman styled and posing the way i am would be just “retro/vintage” inspired,

its a black ass in the photo so its “lowly booty model” material instead. so no one will ever see them.

instantly, the entire black race is suddenly riding on my shoulders and everyone who would stand by and watch me get beat would come out in droves to tell me im a fucking disgrace.

racism means everything you do/say/wear is interpreted entirely differently and always negatively.

always.
