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-

Yeah, sorry. Too white to participate. Will-get-toasted-if-the-sun-looks-at-me-wrong too white.

[wingedbeast]

Yeah, I'm in a position where I can only support but not really take part. Support offered.

[smurasaki]

Yup. *points at icon*

Like wingedbeast said, I'm afraid all I can do is support you.

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

Guilty as charged! I've just finished recovering from a severe, radioactive-red, glowing, throbbing sunburn caused by skipping the SPF 50+ on a day which turned out sunnier than expected after a rainy morning. I couldn't sleep properly for two nights because I had to lie with both arms on top of the covers and I can't feel comfy if my arm isn't under the pillow. I used a lot of aloe vera gel. Then I peeled horribly a week later. White people think I'm unusually white and I'm the least pasty in the family; the rest burn even worse than I do.

I am glad there's a good community for you over on Tumblr. Blogging places are just... yeah, pretty white.
