@Cherry0Reese @KenLiiu you’re proving my point 😭 to be a black woman is to have your likability determined by what’s currently trending. 4c hair has never been popular in the general public, so overcoming that insecurity is naturally going to be more difficult.

Why stop there? Why not conform to EVERYTHING. We're seen as too Black, might as well bleach, put some blue contacts too. Abolish AAVE, don't you dare be beyond a U.S. dress size 4, make your lips & nose smaller. Being Black is against the beauty standards we should just all die.
⭐️IT GIRL⭐️@aliyahInterlude

In a society where how conventionally attractive you are has a DIRECT correlation to your quality of life can you really judge black women for not wanting to wear their hair in a state that has been chastised for generations ????

@Cherry0Reese in this thread not once did i defend internalized texturism or argue tht it should just be accepted. i make my entire point clear in my very first comment where all i say is that ppl can be confident in some aspects and not others. anything else is stuff yall put in my mouth.

@markingofdesire Listen, I grew up in a culture where they shave your head at school if its afro textured and let mixed kids roam free. If nuance discussion only allows for "let me hate Blackness a little" and not "How far will you take this hate?" I don't dunno what to tell you.

@Cherry0Reese @CynicimS @KenLiiu yes, internalized texturism is anti black? i’m still not sure how that negates to the fact that someone can physically be confident in other things such as their weight, facial features, skin color, etc while simultaneously being more insecure in their hair.

@Cherry0Reese @CynicimS @KenLiiu i’m sorry i’m having a hard time understanding what you’re saying here. i would argue that insecurity in size and facial features can be universal, and i don’t think having internalized texturism alone is enough to call someone “white washed”

@Cherry0Reese i’m a black woman ... i’m literally speaking from personal experience as well as shared experience with other black women in my proximity. if you guys can’t even comprehend nuanced discussions then you don’t actually want progress yall claim

@CynicimS @KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese and i feel like this type of thinking is only ever put on black women. if a white woman was confident about her size but not confident about some of her facial features, yall wouldn’t suddenly be saying she’s not actually confident in her size 😭

@CynicimS @KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese i agree that these ppl have internalized texturism. my point is that yall think it’s impossible for someone to have internalized texturism while simultaneously being confident in OTHER aspects of themselves. you think bw can only be 100% insecure or 100% confident

@KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese why r u bringing up other ppls tweets when our entire conversation was only about this singular one? i clearly just talked u into a corner bc you can’t say that you want progress while simultaneously telling bw to bleach and wear contacts. have a good night bookie

@markingofdesire @Cherry0Reese Mind you, the initial discourse started by black women doing that exact thing. It has devolved into this because, like I said, people keep making excuses.

@KenLiiu @CynicimS @Cherry0Reese just bc those features are more accepted than 4c hair doesn’t mean they’re the standard? bw still have to build up the confidence to be proud of said features?yes, it can be easier than accepting 4c hair, but that doesn’t give u the right to downplay that progress…

@KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese pros by actually addressing the way in which society treats black women when you provide support instead of suggesting that said black women might as well start bleaching and wearing contacts if they’re struggling with accepting their hair texture? 😭

@KenLiiu @CynicimS @Cherry0Reese in what world is being fat, darkskin, having ethnic features, etc, deemed acceptable? unless you’re trying to argue that you’re 100% insecurity free and you’ve never struggled with building up confidence, your take sounds ridiculous.

@CynicimS @KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese this take lack nuance. you can very much be proud of your weight, facial features, skin color, etc, and not as confident in your hair texture. texturism, colorism, fatphobia, are very different things for different reasons and they need to be tackled differently.

@markingofdesire @KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese I believe that is fake confidence. If you are confident in your blackness, it’s confidence in all your features. It sounds ridiculous if you applied this to anything else. “I’m confident in my hair and I love my culture but I hate my skin color.” You’d rightfully call them out

@KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese making progress means understand the multifaceted way in which society treats black women which i feel like the main tweet doesn’t achieve. if you can’t understand why a bw can be both confident in her skin but not her hair then we won’t make progress.

@markingofdesire @Cherry0Reese The point is that we must learn to appreciate ourselves and our features regardless of what the world thinks. And while that is easier said than done, the work still must be done. Actually acknowledging and recognizing self hate is the first step.

@BEYSRODEO if my husband was ever accused of SA, the last thing i’m letting my young daughter do is give him public support bc it is an inappropriate and dangerous precedent to set. a woman that stands by a man as soon as they’re accused bc of their relation can be extremely harmful.

@markingofdesire you thinking you know better than her parents is hilarious. at the end of the day that isn’t your child. all of this debating is pointless. he said what he said.

teaching your child that it’s okay to automatically stick beside someone accused of SA just because they’re your family is prob one of the worst things you can teach to a young black girl. any well rounded parent wouldn’t accept public support from their own child??

@BEYSRODEO why r u trying to act like wearing a shirt with ur dad on it immediately after he was accused of SA is neutral… im not criticizing blue bc she herself is obv being misled and she’s a child. i’m criticizing her parents.

@markingofdesire her wearing a jersey is innocent. y’all act like she was making signs and handing out flyers. with or without that jersey she still had a target on her back because he’s her dad.

@BEYSRODEO setting a PRECEDENT that it’s okay for you daughter to automatically show support for someone when they get accused of SA is dangerous and needs correcting. i don’t think jayz was guilty, but that not something you should normalized in a girls behavior bc it will be replicated.

@markingofdesire where did he say all this? y’all make up ur own narratives and get mad at them every time. the allegations obviously had no merit so that’s why they were okay with letting her do it. i feel like y’all are thinking about this too hard.

@BEYSRODEO idk if you know this but a school is considered a public setting…

Jay-Z opens up about how his daughter Blue Ivy supported him amid his sexual assault lawsuit: “Blue has a shirt with 'Jay-Z' on the back. That day she put it on and went to school with the 'Jay-Z' [pointing to the back]. I was standing there in the corner, with tears streaming down. For real. Having that is priceless. People can say they'll always be by your side, but it's very rare that you actually need to put that to the test. And, in my darkest moment, I got to see that kind of support.”

@KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese i just feel like the concept of a black woman being confident in everything about herself besides her hair isn’t rlly that confusing if you take a single look at what parts of a black woman society has deemed acceptable. it’s not an all or nothing situation

@KenLiiu @Cherry0Reese sure but that still doesn’t negate what i said. society find certain aspects of black women more palatable than others. ppl will accept a thick black woman with big lips and brown eyes but that doesn’t automatically mean they’ll like 4c hair. their take lacks nuance.
