Same, I got degrees and tech skills, but still got my cosmetology and esthetician licenses and man they get mad when they find out I have education. I’m learning to just enjoy triggering people with my existence. I was trapped, but I enjoy telling people I was and that makes them not want to say they are the man because they can’t take the attention in a negative light. Keep shining ❤❤❤

Anytime I change my hair, people who are not fond me will say, "You look different." & I just say, "Thanks!" They always look so confused afterwards lol.

I’m a 5’9” brow skin woman. The staring is endless. There was one time I was at McDonald’s some bald headed darkskin black man saw me and started laughing out loud. He was trying to rile me up but I just ignored him because I could have said a lot about him. The most hate I get is from short, fat, darkskin men or women or the occasional blond white woman.

What’s the deal with that? They don’t even know the celebrity personally yet, give you weird as treatment while calling their celeb crush their “wife” or “sis” but barely compliment you. They know we look amazing if not even more than the celebrity. That shit is weird and I’ve always been annoyed by that.

Depends on the bum. If the body is slim thick with a phatty, and the face is at least average the woman is considered attractive. This is why so many mixed baddies were pretty but still went and got their bodies done. (Bernice Burgos, Draya) Bad built women are usually haters and want only the face to matter. Some pretty+ curve-less or weird built women hate that body is a huge advantage. Body is a big part of privilege but one can only know that if you have body or have gone out with friends who have it.

If a woman is slim thick the privilege and attention is strong. A lot of mls women got their bodies done to increase their privilege. (Draya, Bernice Burgos) A women with a bum and proportionate body only has to be average to get the attention a pretty weird built woman gets.

I did not expect you to go so in depth. A lot of these tactics (esp from men) I recognized as ways used to manipulate and use women but I hadn't thought of them as humbling -- that makes sense though. Once I was considered decently pretty, I got a lot of sudden positive affirmations on my looks. But I also noticed I was more likely to get random comments on my appearance that were strange if not outright negative. I didn't understand why anyone would say something insulting about how I looked when I never said anything bad about them at all. When I was younger I got very thin and while my face was nicer, my body was ridiculed -- by people who said I was pretty. It was weird. At some point people "forgot" all about the slim women they loved in the 90s and early 2000s and started comparing attractive thin women to boys lol. And yes, I used to get all types of Caribbean people saying I looked like their cousin.

Just a different perspective…I don’t always tell women that I think they’re pretty because not everyone wants to hear unsolicited opinions about their looks. I’ve encountered women who have gotten irritated or uncomfortable when I told them they’re pretty.

this is soo trueeeeeeeeee

Good video as usual, also i notice one particular thing when MLS/LSK famous women date black men suddenly their reputation go down (around other ethnicities ) and her image always becoming the light skin saviour ( malcom x , Rosa Park )... I hate it , they drain them , literally, bc i had similiar experiences they approched you with the tactic of " black checking " so you will feel the need to feel enough black , check beyonce music process...check Rihanna process , when Jay z or Asap Rocky has openly condem racism like Beyonce or Rihanna do ? They use them , they drain them and when is over ... They change them. Watch out , i learnt the lesson just on time! They see us as an instrument , MLS /LSK women particully ,taking this as history context pls, were " the daugthers of the white men" (was a black men who explained me that btwy) , white men used to kill their mixed sons and kept the daugthers close , in some occasions take care of them , also in many ocasions at least in latin american culture find them a white men to marry, keeping in mind white men have indeed sort of preference for MLS /LSK women is obsvious why black men marry them or want them.

One time I walked into a family gathering and the first thing my aunt said to me after greeting everyone normally was "you look thinner" ..no hi, no nice no to see you, nothing lol. I have really long hair and they love to refer to my hair as "flat" 😅

8:06 plss that was me (had a r/s for a few months for this !) 😭😭😭😭 i definetly felt like a circus monkey being paraded around.

I can count on one hand how many compliments I’ve gotten from women. Most have come from family 😅 I thought for a long time that women just didn’t compliment each other. Up until I got on social media and realized that wasn’t the case. I’ve only gotten complimented by family really. But when women do refer to my appearance, they usually just compare me to who they think I look like.
