I really hate internet (usually twt) race discourse like specifically about defining blackness as if the diaspora isn’t wide spread cause it starts out like “wow there are so many cultures tied to being black” and devolves into arguments over percentages :/ I know you would NOT be saying these things to someone’s face irl

#like someone will say ‘you’re black cause you’re born black’ and the comments start to be all about how mixed or biracial ppl aren’t black #or ‘have to choose’ like just shut up.. #also the weird comments that essentially blame certain mixed ppl for being ‘racially ambiguous’ as if there are feature that make one less #black .. which contradicts the idea that a black person is someone born black #and makes it seem like they can choose their features?? #when blackness is so much more complicated than what one looks like #like yeah discussions on what makes someone whitepassing in society are important but it doesn’t diminish their blackness
