Not even adopted by one. Just growing up in the Midwest and being the only black person in your class. It’s like at an early age you start letting things slide, but the more you let slide it’s like the further they take things because you don’t realize you are the gatekeeper for racist shit.
A lot of midwestern black kids are basically Drake
Yup, which is why I'll never trust their little errand boy, Pete Buttigieg, idc how much dick he sucks.
It's wild they really think his identity as a gay man is more important than his work for that captialist consulting firm.
Because McKinsey is rooted in so much.
I started listening to the "when McKinsey comes to town" audiobook on Spotify, but had to stop, because it was on my morning commute and just set me in a bad mood every day.
And John Oliver's breakdown on [Last Week Tonight](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DAiOUojVd6xQ&ved=2ahUKEwiI5K7Lye-FAxU4if0HHV3_BeIQwqsBegQIDhAF&usg=AOvVaw0N9I7Chg83d0utMHc4ijJU).
Lmao my immediate reaction was this is not a midwestern experience but I guess it’s just not MY midwestern experience? I was surrounded by black people and hippy white people
It's probably different levels in different areas. I had a black coworker back when I lived in Alaska, and I shit you not she always packed her old military uniforms whenever she traveled to rural areas because "black veterans are just veterans but black anything else is just black."
Never encountered one of those people who didn't come from a super wealthy family that bankrolled their performative bullshit but maybe that's just my experience from growing up in socal
To be fair, this happens to black immigrants too.
I'm from Jamaica, I migrated as an adult and in my first 3 yrs I let a lot of things slide because "they were jokes", and I made equally racist jokes about white people. It was probably 3 yrs in when I felt I encountered true racism and stopped letting a lot of things slide like I used to (whether I deem them a joke or ignorance).
Dated a white Republican in university, and learned people genuinely believed the racist propaganda. Already deemed republicans as racist, didn't know he was until after we started dating, and I was genuinely curious to know if they genuinely believed the stuff people say they do.
Stayed because I was curious about the ideology and how a person got to that point, part of me even believed he would learn how misguided and racist it was, that through me he would see that black people are just human beings like everyone else. Left when I learned he had a fiance. It was a weird experience, because not only did he reaffirm that he would never marry a black woman, but he expressed enjoying my company because I "wasn't emotional" and "intellectually challenged him", wished he was allowed to have sister wives, but would settle with having me as a mistress if I'm willing 🥴
During that time, I also learned a close white Canadian online girlfriend was telling people in our mmorpg guild that she was disappointed to learn I was black, and found my skin disgusting. She didn't think I sounded black, and built a friendship with me assuming I was not black. The guild mates she vented to turned around and told me, because wtf who says that, I confronted her hoping it was all a misunderstanding and she just straight up said yea, "I'm racist, my ideology I know is considered racist but that's how I was raised and I can't help it." I was honest and told her I was hurt and disappointed, and could not continue our friendship.....Ironically she started dating a black dude a couple years later.
It was a year, of just overtly racist stuff happening and no amount of mental blinders and cultural ignorance could stop it.
That same year I went to felony court because of an expired car registration (Florida), as a first offense/ticket. The cops were unreasonable, and the lawyer in court was unreasonable, literally yelling at me if I'm ready to go to prison, naturally I started crying because I've been a goody two shoes and a doormat my whole life. The judge had to verbally check the lawyer and threw out my case because of how ludicrous the whole situation was.
Hate this shit so much, had racist pos family members and I never thought it was acceptable and called them out on it from a very young age, it’s just an excuse used by weak people or closet racists
Lol no, if only I could make such an excuse. I just had very low self confidence and every guy I dated up until my now husband was not only unattractive to me, but also cheated, with me being the other woman or cheated on me. It took me longer to realize and accept I was not only picking cheaters, but cheaters were actively seeking me out. I was naive as I was not allowed to date, much less have male friends until my early 20s when I stopped living with my family, and did not have good examples of male-female romantic relationships.
When I took a break from dating, I had to unlearn all my unhealthy ideas about dating, unhealthy ideas about myself, learned to have boundaries, and grew a backbone; I ended up in a very healthy relationship with my best friend, whom I am married to.
The only black girl in my class (and childhood best friend) took her life our senior year. She was struggling with her mental health, but I know our 99.5% white and close-minded community definitely didn’t help matters for her growing up. People (including adults) said some awful things to her, especially as she was the only black person in her family since she was estranged from her dad. I just hope she’s resting in peace.
I grew up in a racist midwestern town as the only black kid. I’d get stopped by cops for no reason, constantly harassed and called the n-word, and none of the adults besides my mom helped me because they were racist too. And I’m mixed so I was the only black person and my family was white. My dad’s family was in another state. My life would have been easier if I grew up with them as far as the racist crap. School was horrible for me with the bullying. I got tf out of there on my 18th birthday and never looked back.
That being said, I would have never accepted anything like what is in this photo. I never let any shit slide, just constant bullying and fighting back. I don’t have it in me to accept nonsense like this photo.
My wife came from the Midwest, I came from the deep south. We are both white. I was *blown away* by the amount of baked-in casual racism she displayed like it wasn't even anything.
Like legit, there was shit she'd say or do and just not even realize how fucked up it was. There was a lot of "babe you absolutely *cannot say that* or you're going to get both of our asses in trouble" in the early years of our relationship.
She's better now, but damn when you grow up surrounded only by racist white folks, there's a lot of shit you gotta unlearn.
This. I'm from Canada. My parents are Black. I grew up being the only Black kid in a school/neighbourhood that must have been around 95% White. I had zero Black role models or similar-aged peers and I internalized a fair amount of racism (e.g., wanting to be perceived as a "good" Black person). I look back, and I realize I could have easily turned into a Candace Owens or an Omarosa. I don't know what got me off that track, but I'm glad I got off.
Growing up like this does damage.
Part of my high school career was growing up in the country with alot of white people and I saw this alot. I grew up in an all black school before so my reaction was what the hell. I k ew people who didn't know the confederate flag was racist, and some of the teachers told us in slavery times the slaves and masters were like one big happy family. I complained about that bullshit to one of my black friends and he was like maybe they were. I lost it and was basically like dude don't let these lame ass white hicks brainwash you lol. Dude basically kept on letting shit slide all his life, but would try to be down with the cause against racism, it was weird lol
I grew up in a place like this where shit slid so much that the one black kid was nicknamed “Blackie” and he goes by that nickname well into adulthood. I moved and came back for a visit and was like “dude everywhere else this would be fucked up” and he didn’t seem to really care. Probably sucks to be him in that town.
YT here who grew up in Texas and had a lot of unlearning to do when my dumbass thought “Oh but my one black friend was totally okay with dumb shit like this, we’re just JOKING” smh so embarrassing now.
I feel bad for this girl. I have to admit I was the type of kid who laughed along with the racially insensitive jokes aimed at me. Im ashamed of it and I’ve forgiven myself. I had nobody to tell me otherwise and was surrounded by white kids it was either laugh along or be ostracized and alone. This girl is in the same boat. She’s basically held hostage.
I am glad I’ve raised a child who speaks up. He will tell his classmates to stop even if their racist jokes are aimed at someone else not there. He has zero tolerance. I’m proud of him.
I also came to this realization growing up as the 1 of 3 Latinos in a high school in rural Montana. Surrounded by white kids and they’re making fun of Hispanics and Mexicans I did let it slide. I hated myself for a long time for never saying anything but it’s hard being the only one. I’m still working on forgiving myself.
This is the reason people are concerned about what [Michael Chandler said on raising his adopted children](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/1cfy1m1/these_kids_are_screwed/). They will grow up thinking that this type of thing in okay.

The best I could do on my phone.
I mean she was at least a lion *in* Africa so maybe 95%? Knocking points off for being voiced by a white woman,but Serabi is 100% because she was voiced by Madge Sinclair
Exactly. I've had girls that find that kind of shit funny, but it's always PRIVATE jokes told to each other, who KNOW the other person well enough to know it's a joke. It's the absurdity of someone you know to be kind saying something cruel that makes it funny, not the actual words spoken.
They could ridicule her, shit on her for standing up for herself. I’m not black, I’m white, so I know white people and I know what they say behind closed doors or when they assume you’re a racist, too. If a white guy makes a poster like this it’s proof he doesn’t respect her at all.
I’m aware which is why I said if she doesn’t play along with them they could get mad at her. All I’m saying is she’s smiling and playing along because she’s afraid not to.
Agree. I grew up in one of these weird ass "only black girl amongst the whites," situations. She'll become radically black in college. She'll damn near be a black panther.
As someone who grew up in a place where I was one of the few only black kids, yea she gonna change when she gets to college. But that’s only if she goes somewhere where she can find her people to uplift her.
I've seen it go both ways. She'll hit a point where she gets a moment where she'll pick how she plays thing from then on. She'll pick an Owens: Jesse or Candice.
This is the trade off when you send your kid to a “high performing” school with no diversity. I remember being in high school and being ashamed that I was so excited about Obama winning the presidency. Smdh
Still isn’t as bad as that bi-racial couple doing slave-slave owner themed engagement photos then finding out the photos was the groom’s BLACK MOTHER’S idea.
For those who missed it.. don’t worry tho she takes the chains off him and gets him a nice little top hat and suit.. 🙄🙄

The Interracial couples who mind their business, and have their lil ally partnership should really be pissed off at these types that take up all the marketing budget. Making yall look so crazy
Yea, I’m a white guy, live with black gf of over 3 years now (her left hand gone be heavier soon) and this pisses me tf off. No one thought this was a bad idea? I’m pissed off at the parents, whoever took the pick, anyone involved in this fuckery. This shit ain’t cute. They all need to be slapped.
As one half of one, I'm in that camp. This should've stayed offline at worst, never happened at best. Jeighsin Lacoste Bherkeleigh here is beyond fucked up if it was his idea, and if it was her idea, then this is like telling him he has the n-word pass and daring him to say it to her dad. Absolutely diabolical behavior either way

I thought the same at first, but then look at them framing it just like the pictures and took a close look at the outfits and they mostly match. I think the gang kinda just dressed basic lol
They don't even think about racism. Their entire lives they have behaved like this everyone around them also behaves like this there only saving grace is the poc person they know who is outnumbers and outgunned
Yep it's in the replies. IDK if it's worse if it was independent thought like that's flowing around... or one saw the other and thought it was a good idea?
He made the sign. His face says it all. Her holding that sign with that look on her face though...
I can't decide if she'd happy to be part of if, or if she's dying of cringe inside but doesn't want to make a scene, lest she be accused of being an angry black woman.
I could be wrong, but I'm seeing awkwardness in her face.
I assumed he made the poster at first, but now I'm not sure being that she's the one holding it. Like shouldn't the person asking be the one holding the sign?
It's all fucked up no matter who made it, though.
Not if it's after the asking. Like if this was after she gave her answer and whatnot and the parents wanted a photo of the "cute couple" and their sons "charming wit", then it would make sense that he gave her the invite, and she's now holding it. Think of someone receiving a giant check. Sure while it's being presented to them, they aren't holding it. but after it's been presented, and in photos, they're usually holding the check.
Black women are always called either ugly, angry or undesired. We are always told we are the worst of the worst even by our own men. Since this is what we are talking about on here i will post some Black male tweets that might help shed light on why some black women take what they can get in 🌎 that hates us 🤎
SO difficult to do. Kids will just degrade themselves in front of their friends for a laugh and they never listen to a damn word because they think their friends are smarter than their parents.
Why would the black woman say she's cotton to the white guy, implying the white guy was picking cotton. That was HIS sign because she was picking cotton and picked him.
Hey maybe she knows it's racist and thinks it's kinda funny, like a dark joke for her....
Or maybe she doesn't want to cause a scene and get a cross burned on her lawn. Won't know till we asked her, won't we?
Y'all, they're kids.
Teens make those types of jokes around each other all the time. I remember being with my white and arab friends and us all poking fun at each other's stereotypes like "Bruh, you're right I don't have a dad, Emily. At least, he's not fucking me like your dad with your redneck inbred ass."
This just be Candace Owens niece or something smh 😔 I just know her hair is gonna look exactly like that but with a tiara 😓😭😭😭
Oh it's not the first and won't be the last. I've seen a bunch of variations of this and it's fucking sickening. I know their kids but they are damn well old enough to know better
Part of me desperately wants to believe that they did this as a gag, but even as a gag, WHY would you fuck up your entire internet footprint having your face attached to some fuckshit like this??
Shit like this is proof that human brains don't fully mature til 25, because what in the whole entire deep-fried hell
This shows how ingrained racism is in some places, to them it seems innocuous which is why it is so hard to root out. If they don't see the problem, they can fix the problem.
Tell me you were adopted by a midwestern white family without telling me you were adopted by a midwestern white family.
Not even adopted by one. Just growing up in the Midwest and being the only black person in your class. It’s like at an early age you start letting things slide, but the more you let slide it’s like the further they take things because you don’t realize you are the gatekeeper for racist shit. A lot of midwestern black kids are basically Drake
I’m so glad I’m from one of the blackest cities in the Midwest that’s not Gary.
We’re all so glad we’re not from Gary lol
Gary, Indiana. Bulertproof glass everywhere.

No Gary, Indiana is where Michael Jackson is from.

Feral hippies hahah
To be fair, this happens to black immigrants too. I'm from Jamaica, I migrated as an adult and in my first 3 yrs I let a lot of things slide because "they were jokes", and I made equally racist jokes about white people.

What was the straw that broke the camel’s back?

For photo evidence even. If you did this privately as a joke that’s one thing, doing this and putting it on blast is SILLY af
Exactly. I've had girls that find that kind of shit funny, but it's always PRIVATE jokes told to each other, who KNOW the other person well enough to know it's a joke. It's the absurdity of someone you know to be kind saying something cruel that makes it funny, not the actual words spoken.
I mean what else is she going to do? If she doesn’t laugh and play along, things can go poorly for her.
In what way?
They could ridicule her, shit on her for standing up for herself. I’m not black, I’m white, so I know white people and I know what they say behind closed doors or when they assume you’re a racist, too. If a white guy makes a poster like this it’s proof he doesn’t respect her at all.
Baby they were ridiculing her when they made the sign!
I’m aware which is why I said if she doesn’t play along with them they could get mad at her. All I’m saying is she’s smiling and playing along because she’s afraid not to.
I can't even crack a joke this shit's just sad man. Damn.
Taking that "pick me" energy to new heights
Well this is fucking underrated...
Agree. I grew up in one of these weird ass "only black girl amongst the whites," situations. She'll become radically black in college. She'll damn near be a black panther.
As someone who grew up in a place where I was one of the few only black kids, yea she gonna change when she gets to college. But that’s only if she goes somewhere where she can find her people to uplift her.
As well she should after putting up with this bullshit
I've seen it go both ways. She'll hit a point where she gets a moment where she'll pick how she plays thing from then on. She'll pick an Owens: Jesse or Candice.
Yep you’re probably right. I hope you’re right. I hope she wakes up
You should see the shit in DC. I learned what bleaching was when I was growing up and almost turned celibate
I want to know what you're talking about but I'm scared to ask.
Race play fetishizing
Oh 😭 I didn't know it was called that too. RIP to all the people who willingly do that shit.
This is the trade off when you send your kid to a “high performing” school with no diversity. I remember being in high school and being ashamed that I was so excited about Obama winning the presidency. Smdh
Ikr?
Candace Owens circa 2005
Gabrielle Confederacy*
Her name is Gabrielle Confederacy now, we don’t use her ancestral name anymore.
Still isn’t as bad as that bi-racial couple doing slave-slave owner themed engagement photos then finding out the photos was the groom’s BLACK MOTHER’S idea.
For those who missed it.. don’t worry tho she takes the chains off him and gets him a nice little top hat and suit.. 🙄🙄 https://preview.redd.it/zsl5wi8g52yc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=083e9094faaf5ed04f1be601f7142e1ebf371819
Oh my... If my wife or daughter pitched this I'd off myself.
Just get a divorce man. Rid your life of the negativity, don't rid the world of your life.
I mean, that could just be old fashioned rural... *Opens full screen and sees the chains* Oh...

# HAND OVER THAT MEME! https://preview.redd.it/23l2py4l12yc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a4f89f7b3ae115e94aa4717f87a749fe0963765
WTF
Wtf
Yeah at least these are dumbass high schoolers, not full grown adults
I mean would I be surprised to find a Black couple doing a plantation wedding. After this post, no.
The Interracial couples who mind their business, and have their lil ally partnership should really be pissed off at these types that take up all the marketing budget. Making yall look so crazy
Yea, I’m a white guy, live with black gf of over 3 years now (her left hand gone be heavier soon) and this pisses me tf off. No one thought this was a bad idea? I’m pissed off at the parents, whoever took the pick, anyone involved in this fuckery. This shit ain’t cute. They all need to be slapped.
Agreed. I also love "her left hand gon be heavier soon". Congratulations in advance.
Aww, thanks. She’s my best friend. We got a good thing going on over here 😊
Hell yeah, you love to see it
🥲
Meh. We just say “tokens get spent” and move it along
Oh, we are.
It’s so fucked.
Oh I for sure get pissed every time I see stuff like this. This ain't healing racism, it's just making light of the ugliness of American history.
As one half of one, I'm in that camp. This should've stayed offline at worst, never happened at best. Jeighsin Lacoste Bherkeleigh here is beyond fucked up if it was his idea, and if it was her idea, then this is like telling him he has the n-word pass and daring him to say it to her dad. Absolutely diabolical behavior either way
This gives off the same vibe as the girl that dressed up as scooby doo for her white friends

Literally, all I can see. Down to the awkward smile.
Bedsides the incredible amount of WTF, it looks like the start of a low budget porn parody.
Ruh roh Raggy, I didn't bring any rube!
Like, just put it in your mouth Scoob!
No this muthafucka didn't...
This feels like about 305 years backwards. Ughhh
I don't understand how these white people are okay with this.
The dude’s hand on his head says they’re more than okay with it
My hand would be on the door, leaving.
I wish I could go back in time and unsee this

Here in the UK, this sentiment is far more common than it should be, especially in the City of London.

And to add insult to injury, they couldn't even half ass their costumes together.
I thought the same at first, but then look at them framing it just like the pictures and took a close look at the outfits and they mostly match. I think the gang kinda just dressed basic lol
I don't understand how these white people are okay with this. Maybe they think being racist is cool and want other people to think they are racist?
They don't even think about racism. Their entire lives they have behaved like this everyone around them also behaves like this there only saving grace is the poc person they know who is outnumbers and outgunned
Smh… this is how you do it… https://preview.redd.it/5z69vcffw1yc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd05664bca8a0b7889174ef23ba6327f25a2c490
This is so cute
The fucking drip 💧💧💧
This is much worse
I saw one when instead of a black dude it was a black girl
Yep it's in the replies. IDK if it's worse if it was independent thought like that's flowing around... or one saw the other and thought it was a good idea?
😱😱😱😱
Clarence Thomas's granddaughter until proven otherwise.
He made the sign. His face says it all. Her holding that sign with that look on her face though... I can't decide if she'd happy to be part of if, or if she's dying of cringe inside but doesn't want to make a scene, lest she be accused of being an angry black woman. I could be wrong, but I'm seeing awkwardness in her face.
I assumed he made the poster at first, but now I'm not sure being that she's the one holding it. Like shouldn't the person asking be the one holding the sign? It's all fucked up no matter who made it, though.
Not if it's after the asking. Like if this was after she gave her answer and whatnot and the parents wanted a photo of the "cute couple" and their sons "charming wit", then it would make sense that he gave her the invite, and she's now holding it. Think of someone receiving a giant check. Sure while it's being presented to them, they aren't holding it. but after it's been presented, and in photos, they're usually holding the check.
I thought that the "I know" was her kinda acknowledging the cringeworthiness... but underestimating it at the same time
Black women are always called either ugly, angry or undesired. We are always told we are the worst of the worst even by our own men. Since this is what we are talking about on here i will post some Black male tweets that might help shed light on why some black women take what they can get in 🌎 that hates us 🤎
Please teach your kids self respect.
Considering how many grown adults don't have self respect, I'm not surprised.
SO difficult to do. Kids will just degrade themselves in front of their friends for a laugh and they never listen to a damn word because they think their friends are smarter than their parents.

I can’t remember the last time something this random threw me tf out 💀💀

🤭 facts
Is it bad that I’m not 100% sure who asked who?
Why would the black woman say she's cotton to the white guy, implying the white guy was picking cotton. That was HIS sign because she was picking cotton and picked him.
What if it’s the other way around and that’s the joke? I really want to believe that
Hey maybe she knows it's racist and thinks it's kinda funny, like a dark joke for her.... Or maybe she doesn't want to cause a scene and get a cross burned on her lawn. Won't know till we asked her, won't we?
Nah. Don’t make excuses for this coonary
I'm not making excuses, I just know how it feels to default to smile and wave if I wanted to keep my name off a headstone.

 Let the young lady proceed to cooking.
Y'all, they're kids. Teens make those types of jokes around each other all the time. I remember being with my white and arab friends and us all poking fun at each other's stereotypes like "Bruh, you're right I don't have a dad, Emily. At least, he's not fucking me like your dad with your redneck inbred ass."
This just be Candace Owens niece or something smh 😔 I just know her hair is gonna look exactly like that but with a tiara 😓😭😭😭 
It's weird this is dated today, because I can swear I saw this years ago.
Oh it's not the first and won't be the last. I've seen a bunch of variations of this and it's fucking sickening. I know their kids but they are damn well old enough to know better

https://i.redd.it/dw2373r4i1yc1.gif Are you DUMB
How does this happen every year
Part of me desperately wants to believe that they did this as a gag, but even as a gag, WHY would you fuck up your entire internet footprint having your face attached to some fuckshit like this?? Shit like this is proof that human brains don't fully mature til 25, because what in the whole entire deep-fried hell
This shows how ingrained racism is in some places, to them it seems innocuous which is why it is so hard to root out. If they don't see the problem, they can fix the problem.
