Did Ya'll Notice Something?

[amarie24]

Note: I been wanting to say this for a while, now. And yes, I am hopelessly laughing.

Under my Blackout Day picture this time...I done stopped saying, "Hey, if you have any selfies, please share them in the comments!"

And y'know why? 'Cause almost ain't nobody ever share their selfies for Blackout Day in my comments.

And y'know why that is? Because so, so many of ya'll are white.

Whitey McWhite. Midwest White. Drink-Milk-Everyday-White. Cheese-Sandwich-White.

Ya'll can either get a tan in the sun or you outright burn in the sun. Hell, ya'll'd probably get sunburn from just the phone's camera flash if you tried to participate in Blackout Day.

So, so, so, so many of my blogging friends are white. Be it Dreamwdith, Ana Mardoll's Ramblings, or Shakesville...ya'll are all so white. I love and appreciate every last one of ya'll, but Jesus Christ. I've had this blog since 2011 and been hanging out at Ana Mardoll's since about 2008, but...how did it ever get to this point? My goodness.

I have a party over on Tumblr on Blackout Days, but I ain't got next to nobody over here to do Blackout Day with. My god.

Ain't nobody to do Blackout Day selfies with me over here. Ya'll are all so white.

-lolsob-

-still, truly laughing helplessly-

I'm mister white. xD The whitest skin of all my friends, thanks to being 1/4th Finnish, with all the rest being English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and Northern Germanic. xD

I BURN and then maybe just maybe get a faint tan. Once the burns from hell go away that is. XD

Just call me a vampire. ;D I have the permanent shadows under my eyes, abhorrence of sunlight, sleeping during the day in my cavern-like bedroom, awake all night, burning in the sunlight, and perpetual thirst (for water not blood thankfully LOL!) to boot. XD Call me mister vampire. ;D I vant to suck jur blood (jk) :B

My boyfriend tans and doesn't really burn unless it's a really bad one. xD But he's not a black person, nor African American soooooo he can't really participate in #BlackOutDay either. O.o That's for black people and African Americans, rather than those who are Asian and Native American last I checked (he's half and half).

So we couldn't really participate over here unfortunately. XDD SORRY!

Your selfies are gorgeous though. :3 I wouldn't ever want to steal your thunder even if I was black. :3 I'd want you to shine in the spotlight. :D <3

STEP RIGHT ON UP, NUMBER SEVEN!!!

See?! Ya'll see how white ya'll are?! How many of them ya'll are?!

[redsixwing]

Eight! \o/ *slinks under an umbrella*

The running joke in my family is, we burn under incandescent lights.

[amarie24]

Number eight, indeed!!!!

Ahhh...but what about fluorescent lights, huh? Ya'll do better under those?

[redsixwing]

I assume so. I don't seem to sunburn in the office. ;)

[amarie24]

The office then, is quite safe for you, my friend. Quite safe indeed. :D

[indigodragon]

There's so many of us. XD I'm fair surprised honestly. I thought there'd be more POC followers, especially black followers. xD

[amarie24]

I know, right?! I thought I'd have more followers of color, too! But look what happened! Where'd all you white folks even come from?! @__@
