Everybody likes a winner.
Which is the only way I can really explain the success of the Kardashians. They won the genetic lottery by being born relatively attractive while being the scion of a wealthy and prominent Los Angeles attorney. Bonus points for living in a country that has no royal family, so all sorts of kind of rich people have a shot at being “de facto” royalty of various classes. (Like the Kennedys, for you folks who don’t know who the Kennedys are, would be the Kardashian Family of Politics. Ugh. Sorry, I think I might have vomited a bit just after typing that.)
Of course, though, you can’t just become famous for nothing. You still have to sort of do something besides be pretty and rich. You need a gimmick. For heiress Paris Hilton, that was an accidental sex tape. For Kim Kardashian, that was an “accidental” sex tape, with a black guy and a big ass this time.
I once joked upon the first time seeing Kardashian that I could see why a certain subset of black men fell all over themselves for her because she really didn’t look that different from the prettiest light skinned, long haired, big booty black girl of their video girl dreams — only she wasn’t a black girl. Making her some sort of Racial Sex Unicorn. All the black girl parts they liked, but with none of that “black girlness.” Because, ew, black girls, right? A white woman with a black booty is like a pack of psychological Splenda – still as sweet as sugar, but without the burden of slavery, systematic racism, and centuries of internalized hate and taboos.
But, oh! I can’t help what I love! Whatever, dude. So much of what we love is conditioned by popular culture, history, fads, and social mores. When being “thick” was a sign of wealth and higher class status because most Europeans were serfs, dropping dead from the Black Plague, everyone wanted a big ole booty. Big ole booty meant you had enough food that you could actually eat for recreation, not just sustenance. If you never left Sub-Sahara Africa (and it was never colonized by Europeans), you’d probably still think being pale with long, thin, light-colored hair was a sign of being old and in poor health. Now our “beauty” ideals are malnourished 14-year-old, six-feet-tall former Soviet bloc country fashion models styled to look like “women,” and oversexed PhotoShop illusions with tiny waists and scientifically enhanced butts n’ boobs.
If society tells you, from birth, that you should dream of marrying Blake Lively, but dream of screwing Nicki Minaj, a woman with Blake’s face and Nicki’s ass is going to trade high on the “male gaze” market.
Which brings us back to Kim Kardashian. (And by proxy, her sisters, Ice-T’s wife Coco, Angelina Jolie’s lips who are gorgeous on her, but “ordinary” on every other black girl in America, etc.) This goes beyond just physical beauty.
Everyone likes black stuff when it’s not on a black person. Ask Elvis. Ask Led Zepplin. Ask the “Justins” – Timberlake and Bieber. Our music, asses, lips, hair, dance moves are all crass vulgarities until some non-white person “cleans them up” and “makes them accessible” by doing the exact same thing – but being white while doing it. And these days, you can be white and completely sincere about your love of R&B or Hip Hop or having a fat ass and society will still gladly put you on that “Oh, but a white person did it this time” pedestal – whether you asked for it or not. And they’ll go there “oooing” and “aaahing” as if your mentors and predecessors meant nothing. As if your pop n’ lock routine came to them mature and fully-formed like Venus from the sea foam.
Eminem can write all the love songs to his mentor Dr. Dre as he likes, but for some folks he’s EMINEM! Stop ruining their fantasy.
Case in point: When the 2012 Grammy nominations were released Adele’s ground-breaking album wasn’t listed among the “R&B” albums. But if Adele isn’t singing R&B, then what on Earth is she singing? “Rolling In the Deep” is pop music? Does Adele know she’s singing pop music?
Oh, yeah. She’s white, so the old codgers who handed out the Grammys probably thought she cleaned up and classed up that pesky “race music.”
(Bruno Mars is also listed under “Pop” in this year’s Grammy nominations. Apparently if more than “just” black people buy your music you’re “Pop.” Is Cee-Lo Green “Pop?” Nope. He was only nominated in the R&B categories.)
It’s not even worth getting mad about anymore. Heck, you’ll even find some black folks who love the Kardashians and will defend them vigorously. After all, they seem pretty committed to pulling random black athletes out of obscurity. I’m sure that wins bonus points for someone. Plus, again, it’s not like the Kardashians invented the “it’s better when a white person does it” game. They’re just the players. And you can’t hate the players who are, in essence, the winners of this game.
And everyone likes winners.
So I hope you have a happy Kardashian Khristmas.
Let’s rewind a little bit. The Kardashians are Armenian, which, to me and many others, still puts them in the category of “women of color.” The Kardashians are not white, they are women of color. Aren’t women of color, no matter if they are black, green, purple, blue, WHATEVER, supposed to stick together? Why are you directing your anger at one family, who isn’t even white? You are continuing to perpetuate this idea that black women are completely separate from other women of color. You are continuing to perpetuate disunity among all women.
And lastly, burden of slavery…please. Let it go. I am a black women and I do not wake up every day carrying “a burden of slavery” with me. I also do not carry “centuries of internalized hate” with me. I am really sorry for you if you do because that must be a horrible feeling. But it is about to be 2012, step up and stop comparing black women to others. We’re all WOMEN. Be proud of who you are without comparing how you are viewed to how someone else is viewed.
*sigh*
aaaand it’s funny that you’re still on here, still fighting for this article like it’s a great piece of journalism. all it does is make black women feel bad about themselves. give it a rest. really. take. a break.
Lmaooo
Armenians are caucasian. all white people aren’t pale anglo-saxons. read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_peoples
Features are features. Like skin color, we do not choose them. Why is a big ole booty only a black feature? Seems to me that if we let the false “racial ownership” of certain qualities go, we could have a lot more harmony and understanding. No race owns any feature or characteristic. We are all human, and it’s luck of the draw! How fortunate for Kim K that she is so beautiful. Now, move on.
Great article. It reminds me of a collection of essays edited by Greg Tate called “Everything But The Burden”.
Interesting article, and contrary to what is written here by other posters, the article does not make me as a black woman feel bad, nor do I feel that Armenians “people of color”. The oldest children’s father was Armenian, and yes there are such designations in that country as “ethnic Armenians” true enough, but Armenians are simply Eastern European caucasians formerly of the Soviet Union (I’ve been there, the cultural vibe is overwhelmingly Russian). Their mother, Kris Jenner, is the former Kristen Mary Houghton born to Mary Jo Campbell and Robert Houghton, which for me (unless you’re gospel superstar Isreal Houghton) is about as non-person-of-color-as-you-can-get, lol. So I do understand the point Danielle Belton was trying to make, and I agree with the poster that said this article brings to mind the Tate essays “Everything But the Burden”. I think she has a valid point of view.
Armenians are not caucasians, as are Turkish, Persians, Southeast Asians, Israelites, etc… They are not Anglos and they are “people of color”. They are not white in every sense of the word.
This article is problematic and bit racist too. So black people features are only pretty in white people? Uh? So every other person, no matter what race, who have defined buttocks, lips, thighs, etc., are “stealing” it from black people? *sigh*
If this is some attempt to play the whole “we were the first to do this and that…” game, Im not surprised. Expected and typical from people like you.
LOL, anglos are only one type of Caucasian. There are many different types. I think you are confounding anglo-saxon’s with caucasians. The name is derived from the Caucasus region. That’s where all the groups you named above are from. Armenians are the quintessential caucasians. Every white person is not pale just like every black person isn’t pitch black. Just google Caucasian and you will see.
@Ravi
Here’s a chart :D Welcome back by the way~
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Meyers_b11_s0476a.jpg
@Timcampi, thanks. been back since finals ended. That’s an old map. you can find a bit more contemporary. Anything that only uses the three race taxonomy is usually pretty dated — well more dated. All use of large races is pretty obsolete. There are tons of different models, but damn near every time you will see people in the Caucasus region being categorized as Caucasian. I mean come on, where do people think the name Caucasian came from.
we so heavily identify white with power structure in this country that it is difficult for many of us to understand that there are groups of white people that are discriminated against. It’s only recently that Jews have been considered white in the U.S. Before that Italians weren’t considered white. I recommend a book called how the Irish became white. It examines how many didn’t consider the irish white when they first got here.
@Ravi
Too true. Hell, the Scottish got it in for awhile. Middle Eastern people are considered white as well, and they’re this decade’s black sheep. How’d finals go for you by the way? Oh and what’s your major! And how do you deal with mid year apathy. Because right now, I love my major… but I just don’t want to do anything haha.
I won’t get my grades back for another couple weeks but I think I did ok. I’m a JD/MBA student. This year I’m doing law, last year it was business. I go back and forth each year. I got a case of pre-finals apathy. I didn’t do a lot of preparation for finals and likely did a lot worse than I should have. I spent more time watching tv and playing video games than I did preparing for the exams. The vacation is what helps me get my head back in the game. I don’t have class again until the 23rd. Trying to keep some sort of balance is key. Playing a sport, working a job, joining or creating some student organizations, or just take a road trip on a weekend. I have always done a lot of different things to make sure i’m having a lot of fun in school. How about you? How did finals go?
@Ravi.
Think in context when Americans use the words “white” and “caucasian.” True, Armenia is in the Caucus region, but that doesn’t make then white in America. They are not the Anglo-Saxon Americans everyone imagines when we say “white” or “caucasian.”
It is rather silly to try to ascribe certain races and “different types” of races (what does that even mean?) to everyone, as race is a social construct with no biological explanation to date. Race has not been proven in the realm of science, and thus when we speak of races we address the social constructs that society places on groups of people. White or caucasian in American means Anglo-Saxon Protestant people. Armenians are not Anglo-Saxon Protestants as are Persians, Jews, Hispanics and so on and so forth.
It would be fair to say Hispanics are white since some have actual proven European ancestry and not just from Spain too. However, if thats the case, then you are “white Hispanic” which is totally problematic.
Ravi, Good Luck on your studies!
I am American, so I think I’m just as qualified as you to say what American’s think when they say white. Being from the Caucasus region pretty much makes them white everywhere. You seem to be confounding nationality or ethnicity with race. Saying Armenians are not white is about as silly as saying Russians aren’t white or Italians aren’t white. American’s don’t just think of Anglo Saxons when they think of white people. Anglo Saxons make up only a small portion of the total white people. You might think that way, but that’s not what is meant by white within the context of this country. I am willing to bet that if you did an image search of Armenian people on google, then posted that picture on your fb asking what the race of that individual was, every last American would say white. You have no basis for suggesting that Armenians aren’t white. the very thought is laughable.
“It is rather silly to try to ascribe certain races and “different types” of races (what does that even mean?) to everyone, as race is a social construct with no biological explanation to date.”
I’m not sure what you meant by this, but it doesn’t seem to apply to anything I wrote. Try rephrasing this for clarity. Of course race is a social construct. Did I suggest differently? It has some biological, aspects, so to say it has no biological explanation is nonsensical. My point had nothing to do with the fact that race is a social construct, so I don’t know why you brought it up. Anthropology and sociology are sciences. Science does address race. To say it hasn’t been proven in the realm of science doesn’t make sense. It’s a dated system of classification. systems of classification aren’t things to be proven. every model of race classification is inconsistent, so contemporary scientist don’t really use traditionally defined large races. they are too large and not generalizable. Scientists opt for much smaller population groupings when classifying people nowadays.
Your assertion that only anglo saxons are white within this country just doesn’t jive with reality. Greeks, Spaniards, Albanians, Georgians, Estonians, and French are also not Anglo Saxons. Are you really so ill-informed to believe that they are also not white? Latinos are generally consist of one or more races, they are not a race. Latinos can be white, because Spanish and Portuguese people are white; just like Armenians, Persians, and Jews. You really should just look this stuff up. Google is our friend. you won’t find any legitimate source that defines white as only Anglo Saxons. There would be hardly any white people on earth if that were the case. Many of the white people in America aren’t Anglo Saxons.
@Ravi
Finals were okay… but I’m never doing group work ever again. In the end, I had to do ALL the work, ALL the research, and use my own damn free time to do the homework and final project. Also I got the second lowest grade in the group even though I did the most work. Yay. It’s my fault though… I don’t tend to speak up for myself haha.
We don’t really have a lot to do here as far as clubs and sports go, but I do play video games like mad cray. I’m honestly just over the whole minority at a PWI school. I did it in middle school (2 black students, two asian students, one latino student, everyone else white) I did it in boarding school (80 black students, majority white, smaller majority asian), and now I’m doing it again in college (40 black students, maybe 20-30 asian students, 1400 white). I’m over it. I wouldn’t mind if this branch of UPitt was progressive and phenomenal in education, but it’s not. I’m in a small white racist town where people can stab two students of color simply for existing and still make it look like the kids were asking for it. It’s depressing, do you have any advice? I get to transfer to the main campus in a year and a half. I’m only staying because my education is 100 percent free and I’m willing to bear the bullsh*t if I graduate loan-free.
Thanks in advance :D
I know how that can be. My elementary had no more the 5 black students at any given time and that includes me and my brother. My business school has about 40 black students out of about 700. My law school is only a little better. And you want to talk about racist, Virginia has confederate history month. The following link shows a picture of an actual UVA law party last year:
http://gawker.com/5773472/uva-law-students-love-confederate-flag-beer-pong
There are statues of a certain slave raping bigot president every where you go. but that’s the kind of world we live in.
I don’t suggest you give up on group work though. You have to learn how to navigate groups. it is a critical work force skill for most any occupation. Besides, much of the best learning happens in group work settings.
video games are a must. I’m on my PS3 way more than I care to admit. Getting my butt handed to me on MVC3 by people all over the world.
my advice is if you aren’t having the time of your life in college, it’s time to get the hell up out of dodge. transfer to a more diverse, progressive environment. college is supposed to be fun, not something you have to bear for another year and a half. Student loans are usually pretty low interest and pretty good debt. don’t be afraid of the loans. in my programs, the average student borrows over 100k. of course the average starting salary is over 100k also, but it’s not like you have to pay it back all at once. You can pay the minimum until you are old. There are also a lot of grants and scholarships that you can find. many of these scholarships don’t have a lot of people applying. people are trying to give out money for school and people aren’t trying to collect it.
Have you tried a job at your university? they might have work study opportunities. A nice library job would be cool so you can get paid while you sit at a desk and get your studying done.
@Guest-
I think your beef should be with the EU, as they’re the ones who classified Armenia as a European Country, not Clutch. Here’s what I pulled from the Wikipedia page about Armenia:
“The Government of Armenia holds European integration as a key priority in its foreign policy as it is considered a European country by the European Union.”
Also the EU’s official page has Armenia listed as a European country:
http://europa.eu/about-eu/countries/index_en.htm
I should mention that I have not been able to find a job since relocating here. I’ve tried EVERYWHERE. But either they’re full or don’t want my dark tinge in the spotlight.
Ravi,
As an Armenian-American I think that we don’t need any more Americans trying to classify people into races. We all know how many obscenities doing so has caused.
Is it rather insulting when you label and entire group of people (as white) who see themselves Armenian or Middle Eastern.
I’m not white, but you consider me white, so do I exist?
@Guest

Hmmm?
I think your post kinda settles the argument.
is a celebrated black scientist, say Dr Neil Degrasse, stealing Chinese brains? Only Chinese people can be brainy?
On the other hand, some of the fascination with people who EFFORTLESSLY (without trying) defy racial expectations or stereotypes lies in the novelty bone they tickle in all of us.
Sad but true.
LOL!
A PAWG (phat ass white girl) is an exotic creature who teases a man’s, especially a black man’s sexual curiosity because she offers an extra dimension of female to male differentness.
Not only is she white and female, she also has the kind of curves and bumps that evolution has biologically wired black men to desire in women (hence the prevelence of such traits in black women)
She has the woman-ness of a black woman, the differentness of whiteness and femaleness of not being male.
Which is an irresistable recipe for some explosive JUNGLE FEVERNESS.
hold on, back in a minute . . .
Ok I’m back phew. lmao ha ha ha . . .
The human race wouldn’t have made it if all there was on the African Savannah was Lindsey no ass Lohan to mate with.
LMAO!
Dunno why Sistas are b itching about Kardasian, Oprah’s been doing the “white woman” thing for years, hating on black men, advocating feminism and chatting fluffy foolishness.
Why we can’t have a lil big booty relief from all that yakkin?
shut up shut shut up and back up dat ass
Strewth!
LMAO!
sorry, but you don’t get to tell us how to define races. you can identify yourself however you want, but society will do the same. If you aren’t white, what race are you? Are you Black, Micronesian, Oceanian? Armenian isn’t a race, smartness, it’s a nationality and an etnicity; and neither is middle eastern for that matter. Don’t blame me because you don’t know the difference between race and ethnicity. race isn’t about self-identification. There are socially defined classification systems that, while inconsistent, are rooted in what other people view about a persons phenotype and ancestry. In almost every western society, the vast majority of the population and the government will define you as white. I’m afraid you don’t get a say any more than I do. I can’t tell people “i’m not black, I’m from Detroit” and expect them to take me seriously. I’m black by definition. this is not about how I view myself. Armenians are caucasians by definition of the word caucasian. This is about as stupid as someone saying, “I’m not Asian, I’m Japanese. I’ve never even been to China.”
you don’t want to be called white anymore, go to Brazil. They have many different races that you might be able to pass for.

Much adoo and ballyoo over the Kardashians, they are the media flavor of the moment. American society goes through women like kleenex. While unknown right now someone is the wings being groomed to replace the Kardashians. If this person has siblings it will be a coup d’etat.
Are you serious? White women are “stealing” black women’s features? As a white woman with a butt- I find this insulting, and racist. And I don’t mean against me- I mean against the black women you are insulting! And there are black women out there who DON’T have curves. So how do you get off saying that they belong to one race and not another? It’s a feature that belongs to WOMEN! And we should all celebrate our bodies, as different as we all are. You are projecting your hatred on the wrong group!
And I’m sorry, but what are you talking about, a “burden of slavery?” I’m sorry that it happened- and just like I’m sorry that the Holocaust happened- but it was a long time ago, and it is not a part of American culture today.
Move on. Grow up.
Ok. The more I read the more shocked I get. I will make it simple then.
What the author says:
1 -That features that are really common in black women aren’t considered beautyful by the mass media unless they are on a white woman.
2 – That elements of black culture are aften overlooked by the mass media unless a white folk uses it.
What the author DOES NOT say:
1- That white women can’t have big lips, booty or any other characteristic.
1- That black features are only good when in white women.
Get it?
My personal opinion for the reason as to why “white” women get more attention when they are born with a booty, full lips, curvy hips…… is simply because its unexpected. Everyone loves the unexpected.
Ms. Belton: Now I am not sure if this is really who you are or if you are just playing a role to start this debate that has formed over this blog, but you are coming across as a very angry possibly racist person that is unable to move on in life and realize that we no longer live in a world of slavery. With that said maybe you should go out and explore the rest of the world and see that us “full- figured” white women are everywhere now and you just need to get use to it and move on……..
It is clear to me that the majority of you commenting on this article missed the entire purpose in this post, which clearly appears to attempt to expose the double standards that society has towards women who obviously would be classified as non African descent, thus White, Armenian, Latin, Asian just to name a few. And clearly I did not expect most of you to get it because you can’t relate to the mind blowing double standards of the celebrated booty of JLo dancing half necked accross the stage in hip hop videos and being celebrated and considered the Beauty Queen Butt Holder Trophy, but if a obviously African descent women did the same dance with a big butt it would be considered vulgar or the street word ghetto, Kardashians especially Kim are very strickingly beautiful young women as well, but I would not consider them no more attractive as Beyonce, Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union, Megan Good, Nia Long just to name a few, and secondly these women of African descent have proven they are talented beautiful and smart, I mean like real entertainers talent, not reality tv talent and so their beauty is just extra an added benefit. But none of them are put on the level by the media of beauty like the Kardashians and JLO, Angelina Jolie, etc. strange thing it is very obvious that the Kardashians have had a lot of enhancements done like botox, bootytox to maintain their beauty so Kim in particular looks enhanced however none of the naturally gorgeous African descent women who I am sure does hours of excercise, has personal trainers, chefs, beauty aestheticians to help them maintain their beauty look fake in fact none of them have had breast enhancements, lip enhancements, botox but enhancements it all natural, yes they wear hair extension, but so do most other race women in hollywood JLo, actually pulled hers off in one movie. The point the the writer is trying to make known is that women of African descent who look black, their hair is course, skin is darker have all of this naturally,but they are still not considered as beautiful as someone like Kim who admits she is in the tanning salon, has had her lips and breast enhanced and gets botox treatments. But no matter what she is still celebrated as the eptiome of beauty (the standard), strangely even by most black men and she does not even resemble their mother, however women of African descent are ridiculed if all they have as an enhancement are a couple of extension in their hair for length typically African descent women dont need extensions for fullness however other race women like JLo uses extension for fullness but because the texture of synthetic/human hair blends with their own it is accepted as natural or just as costume. The reality is this article is real and is not racist, basically what she is attempting do is expose the double standards in society about how they reward women of other races for being blessed or perhaps enhancing themselves with fullness, but women of an obvious African descent are not regarded as high in terms of physical attractiveness and they on much much larger scale have these features naturally, I guess one would say it all boils down to preference well perhaps but anyone living in my skin would say their is something sinister subconciously transferred to the world regarding the natural beauty of women of African descent that women of other races pay millions of dollars to attain and maintain..
However, it is not just that way with African descent women, our men also feel the double standards particularly in sports. Example, I think Tim Tebow is great, but if Chad Johnson decided he wanted to become a devout Christian and felt the Holy Spirit urging him to display his thankfulness to God after a win….I just believe NFL would have fined him or asked him to stop, or better yet devised a rule that would not allow NFL Players to display any religious suggestions to whom they believe is responsible for the fortune after a game or during a game. But let me parallel this more specifically with the subject matter, the NFL Commentators were very resistant to Michael Vicks athleticism as a quarterback and many of them second guess his him for years by really resisting to categorize him as a true Quarterback still to this day, but Tim Tebow who is obviously very driven and an amazing human being has obvious challenges ot categorizing him as a traditional Quarterback but it is very obvious that the NFL commentators are very willing to do so and are just waiting for him to prove himself and honestly the appear much much more excited and accepting of the idea that one day he will develop that well roundedness, but with Vick it took years for the analyst to come to terms with think after the dog fight (pun intended) he is recognized as a true but unique quaterback with his athleticism as a Quarterback. So people do not dismiss this article her points are valid. I like her title, but perhaps she should have gave it a more simple name for the more simple minded or the pretenders maybe this one “The Best of Both Worlds” Subtitled: The mysterious big butts, big lips, big breast, and big black tans of Americas nominated most beatiful women in the world.
Celebrating black beauty on white women? Is this a joke? It is internalized self-hatred and ignorance of black heritage and history that spits out such non-sense. First, whites were the first slaves in the Americas transported under the 1723 Waltham Act and the white female prostitutes were protected under the White Slave Trade Act. The word Slav and Serb are synonymous for slaves and servants–denoting the Slavic people of Europe. Blacks are indigenous to the Americas, really, the world for that matter. The Olmecs (Mandinka-Shi) of Mexico, West Africans, Nubians, Egyptians, Cambodians and first four Chinese dynasties were black. DO YOUR RESEARCH and stop promoting white propaganda. Black people cannot celebrate their beauty on other women until it is first appreciated on them selves. Black men are vulnerable targets and pones used to further separate, denationalize and deglobalize their own melanated people who get their superior qualities from Carbon–the building blocks of life. Consciousness is wisdom and wisdom is power! Interracial mating is the new genocide of the Black Race. Let them breed themselves out of existence–they say.
The reason for the double standards is simply because of programmed thinking that white is right. The black gene is the parent template and white recessive–known as albinism. Symptoms include pale skin, light eyes, light hair, early aging, hypersensitivity to UV rays, osteoporosis, infertility, low birth rate, poor coordination, poor moral and lack of emotion (due to calcified pineal gland/Third Eye), and other genetic defects and disorders. Blacks are contracting the mutation through interracial breeding. In the last decades, blacks (males and females) have been targeted for interracial “mating” with whites to pass on the melanin required to sustain life. Melanin gets its blackness from carbon, which is found in the Universe, Earth, plants, animals and all LIVING THINGS. The darker the skin the more melanin and superior qualities one has. Scientist are working on hybrid melanin to cure cancer and clean the air. Black culture is unacceptable until it is presented by whites. Go figure!
Have people even read the article?
“It is internalized self-hatred and ignorance of black heritage and history that spits out such non-sense.”
If they have they’ve missed the point. Read it again and try to understand that the author doesn NOT think black features are only beautyful in white women.
Also… I’ve always had a problem with what many americans consider Women of Color.
An example: I’ve seen Penelope Cruz being talked about as a woman of color. She isn’t, she is white. She is just spanish and people from the iberic peninsule tend to have skin a little darker than anglo-saxons. You can probably say it’s because of the arabian domination in middle age…But… Really?
Jesus Christ,
I wish people would stop “trivializing” the reality that black people face in this country. Bottom line, Armenians are not black or women of color. Those chicks are white. Moving right along.
The author’s quote: “All the black girl parts they liked, but with none of that “black girlness.” Because, ew, black girls, right? A white woman with a black booty is like a pack of psychological Splenda – still as sweet as sugar, but without the burden of slavery, systematic racism, and centuries of internalized hate and taboos.” – This sums it up.
Comedian Paul Mooney said it best, “Everyone wants to be black but no one wants to be black.”
