It's also my business standard.
Also, this is what I mean when I say paint my face like an african woman. Jesus christ, I’m not going to do blackface. That’s racist.
Cultural appropriation which is RACIST.
Hi, I’m an actual African. A Nigerian to be specific, since American schools have taught you motherfuckers that Africa is a big ass country where everyone is the same and primal and not modernized and ignorant.
And I saw your picture, looking like you smeared mud on your face.
That’s what you think we be doing back home and shit?
Please take your untuned, rotten-goat-skin djembe and go back to San Francisco or Portland, or where ever you new-age hipster hippies be hanging out.
I bet you be taking belly dance classes too…and I bet them classes are taught by white women with made-up Arabic or Persian names.
Please, leave “African culture” (because AGAIN, African is a continent, not a fucking monolithic country, you ingnorant TWAT) and every other culture alone.
Your ancestors wanted nothing to do with us or our culture…and now you’re paying the price for it because the only thing you Americans—I’m sorry—WHITE PEOPLE (because the Indigenous and First Nations people apparently don’t exist) have to show for your “culture” is bland ass, nasty ass, poorly-prepared food, Starbucks, and Crocs.
Shit if I was white I’d be desperate and self-hating too. But guess what? Your privilege makes you think that cultural appropriation is okay because “It’s not racist if I’m taking it to erase my own bland identity, right?!”
YES. IT. IS.
So don’t do it.
I catch y’all white women in the streets trying to mock up a poor imitation of what you think my culture is I’ll disgrace you in public. You might even catch a hot slap if you really piss me off.
i’m sorry but i’m pretty sure trying not to be racist IS the new racist. That chick obviously went out of her way not to offend anyone, and if she did it anyways, I don’t doubt she’d just say sorry because she didn’t try to in the first place. there’s was literally no need for that huge essay chewing her out.
like just chill and get over it, lol. sorry.Didn’t nobody ask you shit, white girl.
You clearly don’t now jackshit about cultural appropriation.
I’m going to guess you think generalizing, commodifying, and fucking CHEAPENING MY CULTURE IS OKAY?
OKAY BITCH.
This is how we’re trained, now?
Who raised you fucking savages to think it’s okay to take someone else’s culture and dress up in it like some new-age costume?
It’s not my fault this bland mayo bitch is unhappy with her identity.
She ain’t gotta steal mine, or any Indian, or any Native, or anyone ELSE’S to prove how “cultured” and new-age-y she is.
Bitch said she was Choctaw and Cherokee (a likely story, because most white folks be QUICK to claim the tribes they learned about for Thanksgiving in elementary school and shit when they get called on their bullshit), so why can’t she get in touch with them roots? She says she’s got Euro-roots, and as we’ve ALL been forced to learn for the past few centuries, Europe has a rich history (one rife with violence and disdain against people who look like me) and she can crack open endless books and look up endless websites if she wants to get her anti-American culture fix without stealing anyone else’s shit.
So again, shut the entire fuck up.
wait wait wait wait wait wait
who in the fuck are these people
I go to tragicblessing’s page and she’s sitting there with mud face paint on her face like:
I am identified as white
and
I have no culture, for I am a child of the world.
THEN, elsewhere
I simply do not understand that as a child of the world I am not allowed to be part of the world and all her cultures. I am forced to continue on as a stupid american who is assumed to be disrespectful of other cultures because my culture is ugly. I just want to be loved as I love others. I just want to decorate myself to feel beautiful without it being considered disrespectful because I am not a woman of color.
and
I am blank, I am bland, I am white.
like…
uh M
BUT THE BEST ONE IS HERE:
When I see posts like this I get really frustrated. I have no cultural roots, because I am a fucking american. I don’t have a colorful native land, I have consumerism. If I am to paint myself up to look beautiful it is suggested that I cake on makeup like a pin-up girl. I am not allowed to borrow from other cultures because I’m not part of them. On the flip side, if I discourage other cultures who want to copy my stupidfuckingamericanshit, I’m being disrespectful about the choices they’re making.
I just want to run around in a sari, paint my face like an african woman’s, do my hair up like a geisha, and pretend that I’m a beautiful woman from another culture. I mean them no disrespect. I just love their beauty so much that I want to emulate it.
IS THIS A FUCKING PARODY ACCOUNT?
i am in utter disbelief
what even?
Why looking back over any lecture notes from my 8 am class is a futile effort.

it takes 237 muscles to fake an orgasm but 15 to say “it’s called a clitoris and it’s right here”
#don’t ever fake an orgasm let them know they disappointed you
YES EXACTLY LIKE THAT.
Idk, I am full of so much side-eye towards Frozen it’s not even funny.
It’s like an amalgamation of all the shit that has ever pissed me off about Disney. That SIDEKICK. That DESIGN. That fucking one-word-ambiguous-title oh my gawd.
Ay yo Zira’s suicide was, imo, preferable to her in-movie death.
One of those rare deleted scenes I think worked just as fine as what made it into the film vOv
The deleted scene I set off to find MEH. The part with Zira and Kovu? Way too on the nose although MAYBE that’s what WAS NEEDED because no one pays attn to the fact that Kovu is adopted when ~nuka says it~ The part with Nuka/Vitani was cute I guess. For like five seconds. Until it got really OBVI and awfully exposition-y. (Ahaha poor Nuka ur life sucks and then you died.)
ahaha
I still maintain that his deleted death scene was so dumb.
“WELP.”
