The 1964 Civil Rights Act didn't go far enough, bro. It completely forgot about band aids matching skin colors and laws against telling a black woman you like her hair.
These people don't want change they just want to have something to be upset about.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Look at it this way, we already know a lot of this is driven by liberal females (most of them white). It isn't much of a logic jump to say they probably all lothe themeslves. These pet causes give themselves something to fight for, which in turn quiets the voices of self-doubt in their heads and their hearts just a little bit. They all get to be their own personal Harry Potters and Hermione Grangers.
Ignore that if they put their YA fiction down for a minute and picked up a Bible they would find they have all the self-worth they need in Christ. They can find it in their church small groups. They can find it in being genuinely decent people in their home, families, and neighborhoods.
Man I was with you until you brought the Bible in as a book that gives women a sense of self-worth...
1 Timothy 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence".
Deuteronomy 22:28-29
If a man encounters a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, takes hold of her and rapes her, and they are discovered, the man who raped her must give the young woman’s father 50 silver shekels, and she must become his wife because he violated her. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives.
Your promoting a book that very clearly tells women their place is to be silent, subservient to men, and to marry their rapist.
The manufacturers have tried to market black dolls. They don't sell well so they end up being discontinued. The reason? Black children preferred the white dolls.
Which is obviously due to systemic racism or something. There was a study on it done by Drs. Mamie and Kenneth Clark. I remembered watching a 20/20 or 60 minutes segment on it forever ago. After looking into it a bit more just now, there's no way I'd voice any sort of opinion on it publicly.
They don't like hair complements. They are seen as underhanded because even black women don't like their own hair. All those wigs and weaves and straighteners.
There was some bitch on TV selling her kid's books for "brown bodies" as she called it. One was called Big Hair Don't Care telling little black girls that they look beautiful the way they were born. Thing is this "author" had long straight rich girl hair that had blond streaks in it. Clearly full of shit.
Not to mention what does that message imply? If someone has to convince you that your natural hair and body are good, then it must mean that the default is to hate them.
So this is one of the dumbest complaints - re:hair. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but what in God's name is wrong with paying someone a compliment? Why is it wrong to take notice of hair that is different than yours and to compliment it?
During a recent doctor's visit in the waiting room, my daughter shared her kindle with some other kids who were waiting, three black kids around her age and a bit younger. They were super curious about her hair, and that's okay. It's natural to be curious about things that are different from what you're used to. People are such weirdos about the silliest stuff.
and laws against telling a black woman you like her hair.
I've seen so many comments/op-eds/videos from black folks saying that whites always want to touch the author's hair. After seeing so many of these complaints, I'm kinda curious. Never cared one way or the other before, but now I feel like my life won't be complete until a black person lets me touch their hair.
Will it cure what ails me? Give me superpowers? I must know!

And dolls. Without representation of perfectly matched skin tone dolls, society basically broke down.
SJW liberals: Black dolls don't exist. Therefore oppression, force the manufacturers to make Black dolls.
Anyone with a brain: There is an underserved market I can tap and make money in.

No thanks.

Yeah, they put a test put for kids: one white doll, one black doll and most of the kids, black and white, chose the white doll.
Naw, they don't need black dolls - they already have their own babbies to neglect.
black dolls don't sell as well. that's beginning, middle, and end of why they're less available

Could be a problem on my end but I just see a blank page saying it was a Youtube screenshot.

How dare someone want to touch my hair?? Ahh so much offense.
