You’re 28 years old, so you’re too grown for all these immature ***, tone deaf ***, fake kumbaya *** statements. I swear you’re all of us in high school before we got to college and took an Afro Studies class. - AwesomelyLuvvie
I can remember a time when I thought colour-blindness was a good thing, and that wasn't too long ago. It took an Indigenous studies class (and some time) to realize what GAN was saying about erasure and denial of existent inequality.
So yes, these things take time. Coming to any understanding of the world that is at odds with the mainstream "fake kumbaya" will take time, as well as spaces/people in our lives that facilitate new ways of understanding.----------It is not the eyes that are blind, but the hearts - Quran 22:46 ----------

Re: Raven Simone is now "colorless" and a "human who loves humans"
☑ Black
☑ American
☐ African-American
☐ Black-American
On a side note, my cousins in Seattle once explained to me that "Black-American" is more appropriately used by those who have known African immigrant ancestry like them (Somalian-American for example) as opposed to African-American. Is that necessarily true?

Re: Raven Simone is now "colorless" and a "human who loves humans"
Am I the only one who finds the comments of non-blacks concerning this matter kind of irritating?

So.... Raven went from being colorless to wanting some color.

Re: Raven Simone is now "colorless" and a "human who loves humans"
OMG! I was wondering where her colour went! Not sure I believe the tan story though. She wasn't that pale when she was a kid. She looks a bit vampire-esque in that last picture. new makeup style no-one told me about? (or maybe it's just the same ol' "light is pretty" style and we're calling it something new now so we're going with vampire-esque?)
and since i love how many gifs are bein used on this thread, my reaction to the tan story in gif form:
