A TikTok from user @papichoulojasontodd Video transcript: I'm gonna pose this question to you, and don't get mad, don't get upset, just listen, process it, and come back to me, okay? Really digest what I'm about to ask you. Were you really "Too white" for the Black kids? Were you actually, really, truly "Too white for the Black kids," OR were you pretentious, and people could tell? Did the Black kids bully you because you listened to Fall Out Boy, or did the Black kids bully you because you ran around telling everybody that you hated hip hop? That you HATED rap music? Were Black girls bullying you because you like anime? Or did you not like Black girls because they didn't act like the girls in anime? Did Black girls bully you because you were quiet and read books or did Black girls find you off-putting because they knew that you thought that you were better than them BECAUSE you read books? Like...I really, really, really, really hone in on this dialogue that a lot of Black nerds like to have because, sure, not all of us were harboring some like, negative feelings about other Black people because of like, the nerdy fun we liked. Like, I definitely, in middle school, high school and elementary school felt cool for liking, you know, uh, riot girl music and stuff like that, but I would never have gone so far to say as to say I was too white for the Black kids. "Too white for the Black kids-" Like, all of the people that I hung out were- with were either Black or people of color. I, through a majority of my life, mostly had other nerds of color to hang out with unless I was at a PWI and even then, I would try to go out of my way to find other Black people to hang around with. The crux of that is, I ran into y'all! I ran into y'all! You know, I ran into y'all, Black nerdy boys who, in turn of trying not to be the low man on the ladder, would actively push ME down further in order to be able to make your white peers laugh. And, you know, I definitely had my moments when I was a kid, I felt like I was smarter than a lot of my peers because I spent most of my time reading and I didn't care about boys or books real- like, I only cared about books, I didn't care about boys, you know but, that was more or less an internalized misogyny kind of moment and less than an internalized antiblack moment. Or maybe it was both, I'm- I can stand to be corrected. But like...I find that a lot of Black nerds love to kind of omit the rest of the story.
You know? Like, and maybe that wasn't you, maybe you were like me and had a lot of other Black nerdy friends or like other nerds of color to hang out with, or sought out other Black spaces when you could. But a lot of y'all are omitting the rest of the story. A lot of y'all are omitting the rest of the story and I feel like the only way we can actually have a genuine dialogue about, you know, the internalized antiblackness that is within all of us because let's not, let's not even play that game, right? That internalized antiblackness that we externalized as children because we did not know how to balance it- we didn't know how to um, unpack that because we were literal children, I feel like we're never going to really begin to heal until we stop omitting the harm we've caused to others at the same time. But I don't know, I'm high off my ass I- whatever// end transcript
Edit: Pls rb the edited version.

My first real introduction to DC and superhero media as a whole was Catwoman(2004) and honestly I think it's the best intro I could have had.
Before that movie I saw Superman, Batman Wonder Woman, etc and I didn't really care. I didn't get the hype of superhero stories and wasn't interested in hearing them. Then I saw Halle Berry in that leather catsuit crawling up walls and blinking aggressively at a tabby and my life was changed.
She was the first black protagonist I had ever seen in any of these shows/movies. And as a 9 year old black girl in 2013 with only Disney and cartoon network to entertain me, I couldn't have been more excited.
I felt both grown up, I was way too young to watch that movie, and seen. To this day I still love Halle Berry for it, and that movie is still one of my comfort movies.
