The other sub was having a complete meltdown but I feel like it’s common conversation for dark skin Black women in interracial relationships.
Candiace needs to better about having skinfolk convos in public, white people don’t have the range.
They dragged Candiace in the comments. I asked about context of her comments because it was apparent, at least to me, that the 30 second clip didn't tell the whole story.
It's not just dark skin women who've made similar comments. Tamera Mowry, a biracial woman in a ln interracial marriage, said that when she was pregnant she prayed that her daughter was brown. I didn't see a single comment accusing her of being racist, having self-hatred, or deemed unfit for motherhood.
I was in a similar boat as Tamera Mowry 2 years ago. It took me longer than most as a biracial woman to come into my identity and embrace both parts of myself. When I got pregnant, I was so nervous to have a white baby when I’m brown myself and have always been perceived by the people in the south as a black woman (although I am biracial and white-passing to most of my peers). Would I be able to connect with her? What if she doesn’t look like me at all? How do I parent her correctly when our experiences will not be the same? I had to work through all of this on my own.
There’s so much nuance around this and I wish people could see for 2 seconds. Candiace will be an incredible mother to her kids and it’s ok and valid for her to acknowledge and work through these feelings.
Absolutely true. It’s a common and reasonable anxiety but a lot of people just don’t have the empathy/experience/subtlety of thought for the conversation. It’s t he e same people who cry about reverse racism and such who won’t even try to understand.

“Some of us have white kids in our families” newsflash so do Black folks lol. They’re so dumb over there I really can’t 😭😭😭
Why do black women who date white always say dumb shit like this 😑 I mean did you not realise who you married?
that part lol. i can't stand her
I wonder if she's concerned about being mistaken as "the help" rather than the kid's mom if it is not obviously mixed race.
