I feel like the reason why white people are always so afraid of being in all Black spaces is because they always have this fear we are going to kill them; that we will rise up, or strike back acting out in vengeance. I find this amusing because it seems to me that they know, in the back of their minds, that some day they will have to face consequences for their actions — and I won’t say “of the past” because it still happens today. But the fact they think it will be so violent to where they have made the Black race the Boogeyman of America, the stuff of nightmares, only shows their consciousness of their own atrocities. They have tried to kill us off since they could no longer treat us like chattel, not wanting us to disturb their dreams of a homogenous society on lands they stole from a people they’d committed genocide against. The idea that we are the ones borne of violence is not only laughable, but ironic in that it causes them to thus kill us off, first — you know, before we can “get to them”. To them it is not justice we seek, it is not true equality, respect, or humanity we demand, but an uprising and a revolt and a paradigm shift in power. To get our due back in blood. To do what they did to us — something they know was horrifying and dehumanizing to a group of people for hundreds of years. A single death does not equate to the millions of bodies of which this nation rests upon; in fact, we are running out of room for our dead.
Yes this is why white people are afraid of being the minority in a country when they are the minority in the world (and seem to forget of the white minority in south africa)
They are the ones insisting on a race war when POC ain’t got time for that. because they are scared and guilty

Avatar Remix - A.V.A.T.A.R.
(Anglos Valiantly Aiding Tragic Awe-inspiring Races)
Mashup of White Saviour Films
Uploaded by lewistonvideomaker
A.V.A.T.A.R. (Anglos Valiantly Aiding Tragic Awe-inspiring Races) is a fast‐paced media mashup that highlights the overplayed racial tropes of Hollywood cinema using James Cameron’s multimillion‐dollar epic Avatar as its visual anchor. The hilarious visual juxtapositions and accompanying soundtrack of baffling one‐liners spliced together from seventeen films are both a humorous jab at racism in our supposedly liberal popular culture, as well as a media literacy tool for deconstructing how whiteness and Other-ness is portrayed in mainstream films about humanitarian crises. This piece builds on our previous work, 300 Epithets, that analyzes the archetypes used in the nationalist right-wing film, 300.

Fantasy Genre and POC
I find it sooo damn funny when White people use the whole “it’s historical, you darkies weren’t there” and blah blah blah reason to justify the exclusion of POC from fantasy fiction. Yet when POC have just the one fantasy book, or game about them White people want to inject themselves and find bullshit reason as to why.
Avatar the Last Airbender film had white protags even though the main characters in the series are not white and the world they live in is high fantasy mythical Asia.
“These characters are Asian”
“Nooooo they are not it says Earthbender not Japanese!!!111”
Yet a POC in something like the Hobbit is just not allowed.
“They could at least have some diverse casting if not in the main cast maybe the supporting hell even in the background”
“Shut up!111!!oneone It takes place in European magic times you darkies werent there”
“Actually there is evidence of Africans and Asian in these places-
“BLAh shut up I like my fantasy whiter than bleach on snow white”
I think the only other times I saw Black people in fantasy medieval europe other than Merlin and Dr Who was in Black Knight with Martin Lawrence (everyone thought he was just a Moor that was visiting from Normandy, France) and Morgan Freeman as a Moor in Robin Hood
Dragonball Evolution based on Chinese folklore
“This sucks man Goku is Japanese, this is based on Chinese folklore.”
“Goku is not Asian he is Saiyan1!”
“Superman is from Krypton I guess that he can be portrayed by any race too huh?”
“NOOO!!111 Superman is an all American hero!”
And of course Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys was to be made into a film but the producers wanted to remove the mystical elements and have the characters be White instead of Black but Gaiman told them Fuck no.
Earthsea was another book that had a POC main cast and world but was whitewashed in the film adaptation even in the Anime.
The Arkh project features POC in a high fantasy game whenever have you seen that? And with a Black lead hero character that is genderqueer? I mean there are so few Black females in video games to begin with but can anyone name me one that is the lead? All I can think of is Catwoman and Shinobu from No More Heroes 2 and you only get to play as her for a short amount of time then its back to Travis
Yet there were white people upset that there wouldn’t any white characters (there are 2 but very minor.)
White people have soooooo many fantasy books, films, tv shows, video games based on Europe with White people and even hijack POC fantasy be content with what you have and let us have ours. Bitching like spoiled children, really.

The REALITY of the black community in 2011.
and people think we’re just “insecure” and no one really thinks like this. lol!
Light skinned doesn’t make you any better than dark skinned. So take your asses off that pedestal because you’re still black just like the rest of us.
-_-
wow @ this shit -______-
This shit is really getting old. Fucking disgusting man. I think I’m gonna make a twitter account to tell people like that about themselves.
Slave Masters in hell are looking up and smiling at these fools.
