This is what colorism in media looks like.
K.C. Undercover: dark skinned men, light skinned women. the one dark skinned girl is portrayed as mean, apathetic, sadistic, and cruel.
The Proud Family: dark skinned men, light skinned women. dijonay, the only dark skinned girl, is portrayed as "ghetto" and "rachet" alongside her entire family. and suga mama, who can be argued is dark skinned, is portrayed as mean, cruel, and abusive. additionally, trudy, the mother, comes from an entire family of dark skinned people. yet she herself is portrayed as very much light skinned.

The Hate U Give: the dark skinned main character starr on the cover of the book (left), vs. in the movie, where she is played by amandla stenberg (right); a light skinned biracial actor.
nina simone (singer, left) vs zoe saldana (actress, right), who played her in the 2016 biopic "nina".
stagecoach mary (right) vs zazi beetz (left), who played her in "the harder they fall".
ororo munroe (storm, center) vs the actresses that played her in the x-men movies (alexandra shipp - left, halle berry - right). and alexandra shipp, herself, is also colorist.
monster high: clawdeen wolf (right), vs. the actress that plays her in the upcoming monster high live action movie (miia harris, left). it also appears that they artificially darkened the actress' skin for the role.
strawberry shortcake franchise: orange blossom, who was lightened between her 2003 design (left) and 2009 design (right).
The problem is there. You see it. This whole "we're all black at the end of the day" bullshit is the exact mindset hollywood uses to justify the erasure of dark skinned women. None of this will EVER be okay. And the fact that y'all consistently find the same goddamn excuses to justify shit like this is exactly why dark skinned people don't fucking trust y'all.
This is basically a result of luciferians working in media, Disney was created by an luciferian, fun fact about luciferians they practice pedophilia
The hell going on here?

the uk government is trying to scrap the human rights act.
i’ve not seen a lot in the media about this so i’m going to do my best to put this into words and explain what will happen if the government is successful in replacing the human rights act with the rights removal bill.
this will mean that in the uk:
you won’t be allowed to say anything negative about the government
if you are disabled or chronically ill, you won’t be allowed to say no to being given a DNR in hospital
you won’t be allowed to bring ‘trivial’ human rights violations to court
public authorities (the police) won’t have to actively protect people’s human rights
the uk military will be allowed to basically do whatever they want overseas
if you ever commit a crime, they can disregard your human rights
the government will not be obligated to obey human rights
if you are from the uk PLEASE sign this petition, and also to everyone else, please please please share this.
I remember your name in the night, O Lord, and keep your law.

“x Henderson!reader”
“x Harrington!reader”
“x Hopper!reader”
“x Byers!reader”
“x Mayfield!reader”
“x Wheeler!reader”
and never “x Sinclair!reader”
do y’all intentionally white-code characters or is it just blissful non-BIPOC ignorance?
i’m just gonna keep scrolling right on past ‘em :)), because doing mental gymnastics to insert myself in an xreader ain’t gon’ happen
[edit: i’m not saying you have to be inclusive because i can’t make you do a damn thing. the point is that there’s a lack of diversity among the x reader community. it would be great if you could use different phrases and expressions that include all races/ethnicities. idk why some of y’all struggle to critically think, but i digress.]

The Black Saint Maurice: Knight of the Holy Lance.
" chose to die rather than persecute Christians,"
( excerpt from article piece below. Originally found on atlantastar.com)
Of all the many Black men in the history of Europe, few have excited the imagination more than Saint Maurice. He was a Black saint in an area then and now that has very few Black inhabitants. He was also a Black knight. Indeed, we could call him a knight in shining armor. He is no less than remarkable.
The name Maurice is derived from Latin and means “like a Moor.” The Black Saint Maurice (the Knight of the Holy Lance) is regarded as the great patron saint of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire. He is also known, especially in Germany, as Saint Mauritius. The earliest version of the Maurice story and the account upon which all later versions are based, is found in the writings of Bishop Euchenus of Lyons, who lived more than 1500 years ago. According to Eucherius, Saint Maurice was a high official in the Thebaid region of Southern Egypt — a very early center of Christianity.
Specifically, Maurice was the commander of a Roman legion of Christian soldiers stationed in Africa. By the decree of Roman emperor Maximian, his contingent of 6,600 men was dispatched to Gaul and ordered to suppress a Christian uprising there. Maurice disobeyed the order. Subsequently, he and almost all of his troops were martyred when they chose to die rather than persecute Christians, renounce their faith and sacrifice to the gods of the Romans. The execution of the Theban Legion occurred in Switzerland near
Aganaum (which later became Saint Maurice-en-Valais) on Sept. 22, either in the year 280 or 300.
I have a bone to pick…
Why in most books/ imagines/ head-canons with a black reader the reader/character are mostly portrayed as either— pregnant, broke, trying to fend for for their family alone, in horrible relationships, aggressive, doing drugs, pregnant AND broke at the same time, ghetto, live in a run down neighborhood, loud, makes bad decisions…the list goes on! I want to see/read black characters who are— sensitive, loving, bougie/confident, rich, successful, one with superpowers (definitely more supernatural ones), mafia leader (idk), in a loving strong relationship, just something that doesn’t feed into every horrible stereotype that was placed upon us. And of course it’s ok to write about struggling because we all struggle in life but through the whole book?…
Do better please. That includes black writer like myself or just any writer that have black characters in general.
