I can't think of any reason good enough to turn to Audioslave.

The point of that video was to highlight a common issue/problem with authors describing black people as different food types. So the equivalent to that is just real life. Pick up any book and behold the same thing happening that doesn't happen when white people are described.

What books though? That all sounded like romance novel trash. Do real books do this?

i've seen them do it with white people before too. esp. pasty white irish looking characters. i'm all for making fun of these things if a) they're true or b) it's actually funny. this was neither though.

maybe i'm just sensitive about my mozzarella skin though

Granted I don't read as much as I use to, I don't remember any books describing a black man as food. Just like he's black.

Deej is just mad because Roxy was the only other person that would react positively to his racial skepticism. News flash, the racism doesn't exist when you want it to.

Like I said, that was all trashy romance novel language. If so then using that to talk about literature in general is disingenuous.

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.
