Do you recognize that you live in a system that produces racial inequality today?
If the answer is yes, then there is some level of participation, albeit minimal. Because living in a structure is already being inside it.
If you are white, your ancestors did this. They created separation and made simple words dehumanize people. So yes, you and everyone else has a chance to make amends. The choice is yours.
If changing a word is "purely performative," then keeping it is also purely performative. The difference is that one choice preserves a metaphor of domination and the other does not. Technology is made of choices. This is one too.
The only point I'm making is that (as a Black person) I have the authority to tell you that it's important and how I feel. You can defend whatever you want, I'm just communicating and SUGGESTING that you change the term.
What I find funny is that many here argue that we can't even SUGGEST. And they still say they're in favor of democracy. Oh, okay!
Unfortunately, MANY people still think this is nonsense and shouldn't be given attention. What you don't understand is that you subtly say that things from Black people are bad and things from white people are good. Do you know what that causes in the end?
A company "of Black people" applies for YC and has a higher chance of being rejected than a company of/for white people, even if it's a necessary solution. You doubt it? Try it!
If so, I found it very laborious. But I understand those who complain; the colors really have a LOT of room for improvement.
War Tensions: It humiliated Japan by completely banning Asian immigrants, which fueled anti-American sentiment and helped pave the way for WWII.
Blocking Refugees: The quotas were so strict that, during the 1930s, the U.S. denied entry to thousands of Jews trying to escape the Holocaust.
Inspiration for Hitler: The law was based on eugenics (racial superiority). Hitler himself praised the act in his book, using it as a model for future Nazi racial laws.
Family Separation: Because quotas for Southern and Eastern Europe were so low, immigrants already in the U.S. were often unable to bring their wives and children, tearing families apart for decades.
The Birth of "Illegal Immigration": By making legal entry nearly impossible for many, it created the modern concept of the "undocumented immigrant" and led to the creation of the Border Patrol to manage those bypassed by the system.
My sweetie,
I'm from another country and I'm following this story from the outside. Believe me, the whole world thinks what the president of the United States is doing is wrong. >>>>Good Luck<<<<
Too vague, or did you just not like that I mentioned your orange idol? Trump is the worst president I've seen in recent years. You should feel ashamed if you support someone who has inhumane attitudes.
National sovereignty is a fundamental principle of international law and cannot be selectively applied according to the interests of global powers. Donald Trump’s threats and aggressive rhetoric toward Venezuela undermine this principle by treating a nation’s self-determination as negotiable. Criticizing this stance does not mean endorsing the Venezuelan government, but acknowledging that sanctions, intimidation, and external pressure rarely affect political elites and instead harm ordinary people, deepening humanitarian crises.
Latin American history reveals a recurring pattern of foreign interference framed as the defense of democracy. From a moral standpoint, collective punishment and imposed solutions are indefensible. If such actions would be unacceptable when directed at the United States, they cannot be justified against Venezuela. A responsible international approach requires multilateral dialogue, international mediation, and genuine respect for the sovereignty of nations.
This text is born from this sensitive place. From the recognition that fear doesn't arise from nothing; it is taught, inherited, and reinforced. Fear of surrendering, of being rejected, of not being enough. Fear of loving and, above all, of being loved.
“Who's Afraid of Black Love?” is not an accusation, it's an invitation. An invitation to reflection, to care, and to courage. Courage to face our wounds, to question imposed narratives, and to claim the right to live more just, light, and whole relationships.
Because Black love exists. It resists, heals, and flourishes. And perhaps the greatest revolutionary act is precisely this: allowing oneself to love without apologizing for who one is.
Even if you had managed to log in without authenticating, all users know that by uploading images there, they become public. It's worth noting that the coordinates of each user were not sent to you in the response, only those of users who are relatively close.
In short... using a dating app means knowing that you are in a public environment, just like going to a shopping mall, party, park...
