I realize that I’m order to explain slavery to white people, you have to speak to them in their white language (true crime documentary). And I realize it’s not all white people so please use your comprehension skills when reading this.

Your ancestors were Jeffery Dahmers and Ed Geins of their generation, before there was a Jeffery Dahmer or Ed Gein 🙃. There, does that help you realize that this shit isn’t “a long time ago” for us? That this isn’t something that we can just “get over”? If your obsessive need to reintroduce serial killers to the masses by giving them sympathetic villain-esq movies then I don’t wanna hear shit about black people talking about slavery and systematic racism too much. Let me give you a list of what these people have done:

Used our teeth for dentures

Used our hair to stuff furniture because the cotton they had us pick was too valuable

Used our skin as leather

Whipped, burned, lynched, dismembered us

Sexually assaulted us and forced us to have their mulatto children that they wouldn’t claim unless it was as property

Wrote us down as cattle/livestock and didn’t consider us as human

Put us in zoos or kidnapped us for circuses

Use us as medical and scientific experiments (I.e, Henrietta Lacks, Sara Bothem, the way women are expected to give birth on their backs)

You don’t even wanna know where the term motherfucker came from so don’t ask

Manipulate the system to work in their favor even though they like to blame us and other minorities for its failures

Steal our work

This list can go a lot longer than this but just know, this isn’t a game. This isn’t old news, this isn’t some flyby night movie that’ll have Twitter all ablaze until the next scandalous topic pops up. This is a generational curse.

Okay this needs to be said and it needs to be said loudly.

STOP WRITING FAMILY/PARENT/DOMESTIC READER INSERT FICS AND ASSIGNING THE CHILDREN FEATURES ATTRIBUTED TO WHITE PEOPLE!!!!

Literally, nothing feels more exclusionary and hurtful than to get excited to read a fluffy domestic fic, only to read about children described as having “Chris’ blue eyes” or “Steve’s blonde hair”. You are making it very apparent that you aren’t writing with POC in mind and that you only write for the white readers in the fandom.

Same with writing for “y/n” and writing about messy buns, silky straight hair, and white features. (Yet you all have no problem writing that y/n has ‘plump’ lips) Stop cherry picking features that are palatable to you, when you claim to be writing for everyone.

Maybe try writing original characters instead of reader insert if you want to describe a character/family as having specific features, but don’t project your white beauty standards on a whole fandom because not all of us are white and again, you are making it pretty clear that you aren’t writing with the intent of the reader possibly being a POC.

(And pls don’t use the excuse ‘some POC have blue eyes/blonde hair’, while that is in fact true, it is still not accurately representative of ALL POC, so just don’t do it??)

I have no idea why some of you have issues writing reader characters with ambiguous features or simply not describing their features at all?? It’s truly not integral to the story to specifically describe hair colors/eye colors/skin colors if it is reader insert.

Anyways. This has been on my mind for YEARS and I’m putting it into the universe because this shit is getting tiring and there are really no excuses for it.

i hate you debt i hate you credit i hate you loans i hate you rent i hate you widely accepted & legalized extortion of necessities

Hell, I'd be hype for this even if it weren't a true story!

WHAT!!!!
