Time and time again I get messages or read books where the protagonist is always very fair skinned and depicted angel like because of it avoiding the idea of having any colored person and putting down other groups predominantly black people or even the music that is associated with the culture.

In this current climate we must stand up for poc as much as we can for there rights. Even if. You’re unsure about even talking to friends or family I’m asking for you guys to take the time and see the people who live among you or even writers who ARE racist. Time and time again I have yet to read any story with
Mixed couples and are almost segregated to the point people even think my main character is assumably a white fork because “it just doesn’t make sense if she wasn’t.”
This isn’t politics it’s human right please use your platforms and speak out.✊✊✊✊✊✊
