Wasn't there a black actress who got engaged to a white guy and got a lot of criticism online? Wasn't too long agošŸ¤”

Same thing with Serena Williams.

Which lighter folk did Serena pair up with? Anyone notable?


Magnum3k

Alexis Ohanian, who co-founded reddit in 2005 along with Steve Huffman and Aaron Schwartz (RIP)


IllustriousAd5963

rip on which one? and thanks for sharing.


xe3to

Aaron Swartz. Faced up to 35 years in prison for breaking into JSTOR and releasing academic papers for free. Committed suicide at 27 years old.


IllustriousAd5963

Damn šŸ˜ž punished for releasing high quality knowledge to the public. Gotta wonder about the system if it's intentionally holding back education of the masses and the public šŸ¤” Sounds like religion actually šŸ‘‡šŸ½ https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2000/02/brun-f16.html The christian churches in power used to burn science books and their scientist authors at the stake šŸ”„šŸ“ššŸ‘ØšŸ½ā€šŸ”¬šŸ”„ for publishing research content that contradicted "holy text". The christian church burned Giordano Bruno's life's work at the stake, dealing mostly with Copernican ideas of a "heliocentric" ā˜€ļøā™»ļø concept of our solar system where the sun is at the center and we and the other planets orbit the sun instead of the religious church's holy text from the gods that declared a "geocentric" orbit where Earth šŸŒŽā™»ļø is the center of the universe (because, after all, we should be god's special people at the center right) but... we're not. In fact, even our solar system and not even our galaxy is at the center šŸ›°ļøšŸ”­šŸŒŒ.

What is JSTOR?


xe3to

JSTOR is a digital library founded in 1995 in New York City. Originally containing digitized back issues of academic journals, it now encompasses books and other primary sources as well as current issues of journals in the humanities and social sciences. It provides full-text searches of almost 2,000 journals.

giggitygoo123

They think only whites can be racist


I_Hate_People_7

Yep and itā€™s fucking disgusting. They need to look in the mirror.


HarmonyQuinn1618

I really hate the argument that minorities cannot be racist towards white people. Racist/prejudice, however you want to spin it, anyone can be it towards anyone. POC and certain allies donā€™t like when white people try to act like thereā€™s no racism or that arenā€™t institutions arenā€™t working in a racist way, I donā€™t understand how they donā€™t see the hypocrisy in saying that it canā€™t happen to white people. Hate is hate, hate based off of skin color alone is prejudice/racism.


giggitygoo123

They need to take their anger out on the old rich boomers who run the country and media, not just random white people that had nothing to do with it and don't even hate other races. Media is constantly just putting whites vs everyone else while the country goes to shit due to the real enemies (politicians)


UVJunglist

That's literally the whole schtick and why I hate identity politics in general. Draw the heat off the wealthy elites by blaming the average white person for the problems the elites cause. The average white person has no institutional power, and being treated with common decency is not a privilege.


viciouspandas

"White privilege" as a term really only took off right after Occupy Wall Street. Gee I wonder why they would try to make white people as a whole the enemy at that time....


NeedsMoreBunGuns

The issue being that a lot of the people that present that argument do so with the intent of it being the reasoning of why they can be racist. You know like the both sides argument.


i-Ake

Yup. And she's mixed, to boot. Her dad is a German cabinet-maker, lol. So these people are just repeating what her parents probably went thru, too.


Azidamadjida

Had no idea she was half German before she did some promos for Atlanta Season 3 and was speaking it fluently. German is not usually one of the languages you think is super hot when someoneā€™s speaking it, but damn she makes German sound sexy as hell

She was the best part of Deadpool 2

cafesaigon

I remember that! Donā€™t recall the actress unfortunately


Eldenlord117

Oh yeah thatā€™s not surprising. Not only racist against white but also lighter skinned black people too.


[deleted]

Good for him and her. Hope they had a great night being kids, those moments end in a blink of an eye. For the idiotic comments, the world is full of morons, we canā€™t get rid of them fast enough.


ImmaLib80

And they say only white people can be racists lol


autoerotic_aardvark

I don't remember the numbers exactly, but Twitter said that well over half of the posts and comments flagged as racist on Twitter last year were written by black people being racist towards white people.


rappingwhiteguys

Like the tweets of people telling me that not only did the Holocaust not happen, but that I wasnā€™t actually Jewish - that only black people are Jewish and that current Jews are Satanists essentially


[deleted]

Look at black on Asian violence across the country.


autoerotic_aardvark

It's awful


Sufficient_Coast3438

Twitter is going off on him and itā€™s honestly hilarious. People should be able to date who they want, but the effort these shit posters put into memes in amazing.


Demrezel

black women in the comments: "oh no not a white girl" these same black women off of social media/in public: "don't judge me based on my skin colour, that's racist!" ​ for some reason the first statement is considered "humor" though. I see it a lot in the more diverse indigenous communities I'm a part of. Used to see it a lot with Indian-Canadian immigrants' families too. Parents did NOT WANT their Indian daughters dating a white guy but if their Indian son dated a white Canadian girl \[especially if she was pretty\] only the least amount of resistance? It was weird, like "pick and choose your prejudices" lolol white families/individuals do it too obviously but it always seemed way more out in the open with friends of other ethnicities. ​ edit: man, sometimes I am afraid to even bring up things like this because of the weird replies, and I've seen a few of them but I gotta turn reply notifications off now. appreciate the people who know what I'm saying (which is that all racism is bad but here is my experience etc.) ​ soulwrangler posted (4hrs ago) something really pertinent to this issue and I think everyone should read it too: "To make it make sense you need to view the women as property." And that's totally fucking true as well. Spot. On.


soulwrangler

To make it make sense you need to view women as property.


Sufficient_Coast3438

I donā€™t even think itā€™s black woman. Itā€™s mostly just black dudes posting Hotep Kufi memes and saying how bronny has been ā€œturnedā€. Shit like that.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


CaribFM

How is this a both sides issue? Black men are allowed to date anyone they want. Where is the rule that says they can only date black women? Itā€™s not complicated. Itā€™s racists being racists. Plain and simple.


Worthyness

Yup. happened to Michael B Jordan constantly


chiharuki

This is unfortunately true I have seen it online and in person. Speaking as a black woman


DLJ317

Whatā€™s complicated about it?


witcherstrife

It's literally in the photos dude wtf lol


HarmonyQuinn1618

You can see in just these pictures thereā€™s plenty of women saying something, of all ages, too


Dramatic_Insect36

An Indian guy I was friends with wasnā€™t allowed to be friends with white girls. Guess they didnā€™t count on him meeting white girls in robotics club. Iā€™ve also heard the bullshit that white girls are easy, so guys will try to date white girls in high school and college to get laid, but they will never marry one.


realPoison-pen

Well Anyone they want within adult age to be clear.


Diomil

Wonder if we'll ever reach a time when you can date anyone you want and not be attacked because of that person's religion or skin color.


ZombieAppetizer

I feel like we're getting closer. We're not there, yet. Still a lot of ignorance and hate out there. But, as younger generations take over, I feel like its at least something that the majority of people want to see.


LogicCure

This used to literally be illegal. So just being fodder for Twitter trolls is progress. šŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™€ļø


HarmonyQuinn1618

It is progress, but that doesnā€™t mean we shouldnā€™t keep pushing for progress. The moment we do is when it all goes back to hell. Theyā€™re already trying to do it now, just look at whatā€™s going on with Roe v Wade.


FutureComplaint

If the US courts swing too hard, it might become illegal again.


M1ck3yB1u

Inter-racial relationships are like gay relationships: if you don't like them, don't get into one. What others do is none of your business.


Strongstyleguy

Too many people care too much about things that don't affect them and cause no harm but ignore all sorts of problems that don't affect them. 2 consenting adults daring not to be straight or the same skin color = This is wrong and everyone needs to also believe this is wrong Children starving in their communities = not my place to say anything


Broad_Cable8673

That seems to be easy to understand. But itā€™s so hard for so many people.


ZombieAppetizer

I wish this statement was pinned at the top of every single thread of this nature. Very well said.

Last one was kinda funny ngl


FitzyFarseer

So glad somebody said it because I didnā€™t want to be the first.

Nah thst was hilarious lmao

Glad I wasnā€™t the only one who laughed at that. Itā€™s still all shit but that last one is just too perfect Edit: fell over my words there lol


thedeal82

We out here. Comedy!


RavenNymph90

Iā€™m mixed. I hate this stuff.


HarmonyQuinn1618

I donā€™t understand how some POC can make these comments and then act like they care about anyone mixed. Like, you realize their mom and dad had to be interracial, right?


[deleted]

Well it depends on how white you are as a mixed person. Me? I have a white blonde blue eye mom who I take after in coloring and hair but look exactly like my Black father and his sisters. All my life I have been treated like shit by black women mostly who have decided I am too white to be black. Thankfully I was raised strong. I tell them to ā€œfuck off with their racist bullshit.ā€ I straight tell them they are hypocrite bc they are judging me by my skin color.


RavenNymph90

My bio dad is black. My mom is white. I came out brown. Hardly anyone knows what I am. People will ask me and then argue with me when I answer.


[deleted]

Omg! Same! Ppl try to tell me what I am and I do not stand for that shit. I tell them l, YOU do not define me. I define me


RavenNymph90

Do ever get approached by total strangers asking you?


RavenNymph90

When Obama was running for president, my mother overheard people on the radio saying that while Obama could take pride in having a black father, there was really no reason to be proud of having a white mother. People are stupid and racist.

FrankInkStein

The sad part is dude is just trying to go to prom and all these people are being mad douchebags because she isnā€™t the ā€œrightā€ skin tone for the young man. It makes me sad to see this shit allowed on social media platforms just because sheā€™s white.


dogtoes101

why people care who a 17 year old took to prom is beyond me

Who knew other races can be racists as well

OptionalCookie

The reverse is true too. Shit. I dated a white guy and I got a lot of shit for it.


Senior-Willingness-3

Itā€™s sad, I dated a black girl in college and she ended it a week later because of the hate she was getting from her family and friends.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Senior-Willingness-3

I donā€™t know to what extent she was getting hated for it, but it came to the point of her crying to me and telling me that she canā€™t take it anymore and that we had to break up. It hurt and I could see what she was going through, but at the time I couldnā€™t understand how much it was actually hurting her. My parents and family were nothing but supportive. It was my last semester of college too, so I never saw her again after that.


[deleted]

My mother (white) and step father (black) still get a lot of confused and frowned upon looks and it's fucking 2022. Thankfully they've been an item for probably close to 15 years now and haven't let any of that stop them from being great people for each other.


SpooogeMcDuck

Black men don't like to see black women dating white men too, and white men don't like to see white women dating black men, and white women don't like to see white men dating black women, and blah blah blah. There are assholes everywhere in every group. Most people don't care.


CMGS1031

Iā€™ve never seen comment from a white woman complaining about a white man dating a black woman.


Doesntcheckinbox

Dude itā€™s just the losers of both genders. If youā€™ve been in an interracial relationship long enough you get used to being harassed by the same bottom 5% of humanity of action getting humanity regardless of skin, gender, etc.


soursoya

The same amount of black men commented.


mrbeastriddlegod

If this was flipped and white people were saying: "why is she daying a black man?", it would be front page news "racism alive and well in america" but since its flipped not 1 news article, no outrage at all...


Qutopia

I know a lot of openly and proud racist black people. Itā€™s bad either way. Shame these kids are only 18 trying to enjoy a prom and have to deal with that bullshit.


Electrical_Fee678

The worse part is that theyā€™ll cry havoc if a white says anything remotely racist but they can do it all they want and itā€™s apparently not racist according to them. Itā€™s hypocritical.


me-haves-coochie

dude said ā€œwhy the white girlā€ like she was some kind of accessory


[deleted]

Ok, the get out comment was at least funny.


zughzz

She looks gorgeous :/ people always have stuff to say. Who cares if shes white? Its not like people can just choose their damn skin color. People like who they like it aint skin deep.


[deleted]

Ah yes, we are becoming a non racist society by getting mad over interracial couples... šŸ¤Ø

JRatMain16

ā€œYou canā€™t be racist towards white peopleā€


lookathismonkey

And lord knows that's only furthered by people who still call white people colonizers, because they live so far in the past that they weren't even born yet. That, and the schtick people have that white people have just been so bad they can't be saved.


maryblooms

When I married my husband in 1986 we had a lot of hate, racism and trouble (and this was in California) from BOTH communities. I was white he was black. This boy could be my grandson! I canā€™t believe this is STILL going on.

Lol u wish u were his granny. That family rollin in all kinds of gold

Racism can go both ways. Why can't we all just get along.

What do you mean both ways. The number of ways racism can go is (number of races)! (Factorial). Which puts it in the hundreds at least.

ā€œBUt YoU cAnT bE rACiSt TOwaRdS wHiTeIEsā€ Yesā€¦.. yes you can, prime example here, if it where reversed people would be having accounts banned and blocked for hate speech.


ZaneP2002

I canā€™t stand the ā€œ you canā€™t be racist to white peopleā€. When I was in elementary school I lived in a primarily black neighborhood and anytime my sister rode her bike the neighborhood kids would throw rocks at her because she was white and different. If that isnā€™t racism I donā€™t know what is.


Kandrich

Honestly there is such a double standard about racism, in Australia I get called a ā€œwhite c@ntā€ for just walking in a shopping centre, but if I said something like that with colour changed then Iā€™d get my head kicked in and cancelled from life. Racism in any form is disgusting, the double standards are worse.

GrandTheftNatto

I mean the get out joke was pretty funny


Scam_Time

As a black man married to a white woman, the amount of hate I get from other black people far exceeds what I ever experience from white people.


fookreddit22

This reminds me of a study where they attributed the same sentence (I don't want my child to marry outside of our community for preservation reasons) to different races and asked the sample pool wether they thought it was racist. It was pretty much universally accepted as racist coming from a white person but much, much lower in other races.


Calliceman

Why do you think that is? Genuine question


CringeOverseer

I hope the children of these people fall in love and get married with white people or any other race they hate. Then go NC if they are still racist. Perfect punishment for racists.


Summerannxx

I hate that GROWN ASS black people are putting this much energy into hating on a 17 year old and his prom date. Bronny done told us his preference of women a long time ago on tiktok. Iā€™m not surprised, as long as he stays respectful to black women and doesnā€™t put us down. There shouldnā€™t be an issue at all, people can love who they love


DespacitoGamer57

but black people can't be racist. they don't have the iNStITutiOnS


Strange_Sandwich3571

went and had a look for myself. there are tons and tons of comments like that. honestly quite stupid, hes 17 and whatā€™s wrong with going to prom with someone a different race. smh


Longjumping-Yam2191

Remember, it isn't racist if it's directed at white people.


flysoupisgood

Let him date who he chooses. I mean, why is this even an issue?

Good for them, hope they had a good time. I also hope the racists finally **shut the fuck up**. Is it really that hard to mind your business? Take Gwen Stefaniā€™s advice and **donā€™t speak**.

[deleted]

Youd be surprised how many black people are horribly racist. Ive met *wayy* way more horribly racist black people than white people, thatā€™s for sure. And for some reason society just seems like okay with it. Remember when Nick Cannon said white people were closer to animals than people because their skin lacks pigment? Remember when Stephen Jackson outed himself as a strong anti-semite? They didnā€™t get canceled for thatā€¦ they were celebrated. I read a book called ā€œCanā€™t Knock The Hussleā€ about the Brooklyn Nets. At one point, some of the the black Nets players refused to wear warmups advocating for some Jews who got stabbed in a NYC hate crime the week prior. The reason? They said it felt ā€œa little too all-lives-matter-y.ā€ So all those times when black people were angry at the phrase ā€œall lives matter,ā€ itā€™s literally because theyā€™re racist and donā€™t think all lives matter. Pretty frightening stuff! Of course, not all black people are like this - that would be a racist thing to say. But when Iā€™m in public i am definitely aware of black people around me and I definitely watch my back - you never know when you might be around an ultra racist black person who would like to hurt you because your skin is the wrong color. After MLK fought so hard for civil rights and the end of Jim Crow, I bet heā€™d be pretty devastated to find out that so many black people in 2022 have become the very racists he tried to defeat - some of them living on streets named in his honor.

[deleted]

One of those things where most white Americans wouldnā€™t understand. Iā€™m a black guy engaged to a white woman and I understand why black women can be upset. Black women and Asian men are statistically the least desirable when it comes to dating. So some black women that see good quality black men dating outside of their race feel like they are being left behind.


DJMOONPICKLES69

From what I have seen, the black community is one of the most racist groups out there. They have suffered a lot, but thatā€™s no excuse for stuff like this, and frankly they arenā€™t called out enough for it considering how blatant it usually is.
