the antiblackness i’ve been seeing towards afrolatine people & black-asians on twitter- like yours truly- has been a lot on me.

as a blasian-latina artist, id deeply appreciate a boost considering. people like me exist and deserve to be represented better & with full respect.

Pet peeve is when ppl are making characters black and just stop then they get to the first image. Like get creative with the design! Black is more than just skin colour! Have fun with the character's blackness!

this reminded me of how many portraits i’ve seen of yemayá portrayed pale, like this. my abuelo had one in his house.

like ok, a west african deity definitelyyyy isn’t black. got it. lmao.

there are few things more latinx than denial of—and erasure of—obvious blackness https://t.co/pQmGTgPvjd

Yep. I was enraged about Darwin's death as a social comment on mutants, superhuman power and the relationship between showcasing power and Blackness.

Black characters can never be REVEALED to be powerful in mainstream media. Comics are okay. Movie? Not so much.

this is the kind of shit being evoked when you, deliberately or not, lighten a character's skintone in your art. white people 10000% have no equivalent. if you feel upset seeing a white character turned into a black character, That's Racist Bro

Wait till you all hear about racism IN the disability community...

I am a public speaker that often talks to disability groups and have had white disabled people wheel out of my talks when I talk about blackness...

Dang, and here I thought it was integral to Roberto da Costa's character to be a young biracial Black man, dehumanized for both his mutant nature & his Blackness.

Oops! My mistake, y'all!

👋🏾👋🏾 this is great!! I honestly don’t know the specifics, but it def has a lot to do with facial features and hair. I used the 1st two to show that depicting blackness isn’t always dependent on skin color :’}
