Positivity and Prejudice

Dear Random White Girl,
Can you PLEASE stay off of our positivity posts? Just because the post says "dark skinned women are beautiful" doesn't mean anyone else is beautiful. Just because it praises features that aren't usually deemed beautiful, doesn't mean you aren't beautiful too. We know all women are beautiful. Let us have our moment. White people are literally the media's standard of beauty, a few posts saying "prasin the Asian" or "dark skin is beautiful" won't hurt you. It's our way of saying we're beautiful too.

I saw a meme in Pinterest saying that the person thought the Titanic was a sad story until they found out that black people weren't allowed in the boat. Followed by #LookAtGod ..... That ain't God
And correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't any black people be on the bottom of the boat? And couldn't there have been maids?
But that's not the point, the thing is, people died. There were children on that boat. You can't sit here and tell me that children deserved to die. Go somewhere and have a seat.
