Writing with Color

Quote:

One Word: Slavery.

Get this. Cocoa. Coffee. They drove the slave trade. They still drive the slave trade. So comparing your Black character to these foodstuffs? You can see why it’s cause for offense.

It’s especially harmful to compare those of the African Diaspora to chocolate and coffee, but for the reasons above, I think all People of Color deserve more than these comparisons, again and again.

But I call my White characters milky, peachy…

It’s your prerogative to compare your white characters to dairy products and such, but remember: White people are not People of Color.

I have my doubts that White people experience any fetishizing, dehumanizing flashbacks with such comparisons. Still I have heard from those who aren’t so keen on these sorts of comparisons either, so keep that in mind.

Additionally; you sure you like being compared to food like us POC?

But POC call each other…

Folks can’t do what POC do amongst each other, particularly what’s done within their race. I can call myself a delicious brown sugar honeycomb (okay I wouldn’t) and that’s my prerogative as a Black woman.

The whole “he wants that chocolate” line has even been jokingly passed between my Black friends and I as well. But obviously conversational jokes are not the same as a writer describing their character as such. And again, within circles…

I always though black people were compared to chocolate.

Oh! DJ should change his name to that and make his avvy a hand.

I don't see what the big deal is being compared to food. I'm a good Colby cheese myself. Ehh, no need making that joke it probably went over your heads.

Is there a white cheese with red hair follicle spots?

Someone should teach that girl what critical theory actually is and how it's ironic that she's touting critical race theory as fact.

Received an email from an editor at Guff Media asking me to send in my credentials to become a freelance writer for them. Hell yeah!
