As somebody who was transracially adopted by white people I feel the line , “in the end I don’t think I’ve rejected my whiteness as much as it’s rejected me” 🔥
I was gonna say, at first, that I hate how people talk about white people but no, I hate that white people have created these stereotypes for us. And unfortunately like I’m in that box of stereotypes, but like I have black kids and like a black boyfriend so yeah I get a pass. Ok that last sentence was a joke. But seriously, it is about time that there are stereotypes and jokes for white people. I see how other races must feel. It makes me uncomfortable and embarrassed and think like “wow I am NOT like that how dare they judge me based off the color of my skin and what other white people have done! The nerve!” And then I’m like “whoa. We’ve been doing it to Asians and black people and Hispanics and Indians and Arabs and women as a whole for yearsssss”. So yeah we deserve this shit.
My skin is white, because of that people think that they can speak respectfully to me, but if I then show them my dark skinned mum and tell them I speak pidgin suddenly I'm one of them , reverse racism is just racism, it's not reversed like everyone who is white is a racist and when black people are racist they are just returning the favour, no , just because my skin is lighter than yours doesn't mean I grew up in some peppy, preppy house stop judging people by their skin and start doing something about it, there's campaigns, join one xoxo
People do not understand the struggle that some white people go through I appear white I am half white half latina I have seen brown people insult people that look white "what's that white girl/boy doing speaking spanish " one of my classmates said, as someone that comes from a biracial family that offends me not all white people are bad and do that. I have been called a white ass and now people say white as an insult and for a part of my life I was ashamed of my pale completion I understand you have encountered people like that and are white but please do not overgeneralize and see people for who they are and not base your grudge on not the race of people you had bad encounters withSorry if you are offended about this but this is something I am passionate about because I see a different perspective about this than most because I am both white and latina and I took a bit of offense
Its not about racist or not racist its about fetishism. Some white people only like people of color for their color which is what she meant when she said she's been compared to food many times. You're racist if you only date someone because of their color
I’m always compared to food bc of my pale skin & people will hate on me for being white until I tell them that I’m also armenian then they’ll actually will talk to me with respect. Honestly I can’t stand white people but not all white people are like that it’s really just the stuck up privileged ones. If you’re experiencing this with white people you’re going to experience this with many other ethnicity’s too & maybe this is just happening Bc if the kind of personalities you’re attracted to. Your words are beautiful but remember not everyone is like them so don’t give up on just one race Bc of other assholes in your past & a ton of Stereotypes
I lioove bad self-indulgent poetry! Here are some ideas for the next one: Sidewalks are white and streets are black! (Sidewalks are safer, so...) When we darken light wood, it’s called a “stain”. (Deep) White men discourage blacks from swimming! Must have something to do with transatlantic slave trade boats. (I’m still working on that one) You’re welcome “poets”
Passive aggressivism...... That's all you got??!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! also "white men discourage blacks from swimming..." might have a lot to do with a long history of blacks being banned from public beaches as well as community swimming pools for most of this country's history,.... With similar harassment happening sporadically to this day. But no one here seriously expects your intellectually shallow, racist ass to know anything about that.... #StayStupid.... Its all you're good for
Ooo... another white people poem. I actually heard this one out and, have decided that this one needs a REALLY big hug. Seems as if her all black friends are helping her towards the cliff of self detonation.
Because making fun of people who have been oppressed and murdered, raped and belittled for CENTURIES and still today, is not the same as making fun of the oppressors/ people who benefit from the oppression of those people. Do you see the difference?
Elizabeth Briggs No ones making fun of ur race so u can sit tf down. Shes talking about how white people fetishize people of color BECAUSE of their skin color and comparing them to food bc apparently theyre only good for pleasure and not an actual relationship. Try maturing more and look at things more profoundly before u indorse urself in slam poetry
thirdpowerful1 try again. I'm not invalidating the fact that people would want a white person just because theyre white, but white people think it's ok to fetishize POC's culture and ethnic backgrounds. It's seen everywhere from music to movies and everywhere, but once a white person gets "fetishized" all hell breaks loose.
Just horrible. This woman is triggered by being compared to food? That is what hurts her? Ha! How can she survive the world? There is a lot of worse things out there honey.
Maximillian Guglielmelli I remember her talking about being groped and forced missed. Those will impact anyone. Also, it is her poem and she is the artist. Her pain may not be the same as yours and that is ok. You don't have to listen to it or poets like her.
Krystina, she also sounds like a weak woman. Men can handle a lot more. Maybe she should take notes. I have been molested and grabbed SEVERAL times by gay men and at gay bars. Once again horrible, racist poem
She’s “triggered” because being called a food is dehumanizing. The things that women go through on an everyday basis. A woman and a man can be in the same career with the same amount of experience and still get less money for what she does. Women bleed for 7 days and have aching cramps but still get up to go about her day. Women go through the pains of child birth. A pain you will never feel. And you call us weak? The stuff that we have to go through just to be respected and you call us weak. When you have carried a baby for nine months and pushed it out of you. Or when you bleed for 7 straight days and have cramps and headaches on top of it. Then we can talk about who’s weak or not.
Hahahahahaha! Men built all of these cities/sewers/waste management etc... (I never hear feminists cry about the lack of representation there) Also, do your homework honey, the wage gap is a total myth. Oh, no! Another one! I hope I didn't trigger you calling you honey, your struggle is so hard. Men go and die in war (a job that openly does not hire women yet, once again, no feminists fighting to be in infantry). Women say being compared to food is dehumanizing... Yea, women got it bad
You really think men can take more than women than you're sadly mistaken. Male masculinity is as fragile as our balls. And clearly you dont see the problem with being dehumanized and compared to food. They didnt see her as a person but an object to partake of as they wanted and discared when they were done. Thats why it was a painful realization
Drop the tea sis
As somebody who was transracially adopted by white people I feel the line , “in the end I don’t think I’ve rejected my whiteness as much as it’s rejected me” 🔥
The ending took a turn I wasn’t excepting. Brilliant!!!
People watch till the end!!!
THE TEA IS SCALDING AND I’M HERE FOR IT.
The reaction from the audience was amazing. So supportive. I want that at my first slam!
That last line was a stab in THE GUT FOR ME
She’s a QUEEN
Don't worry, the dislikes are from people who don't appreciate the patience to listen to whole poem and realise maybe it wasn't about them ...
it was
No lie i cried... as an indo who have dated predominantly white men my whole life, i feel all of this too hard
This was damn Beautiful....
wow, i've never seen an indonesian doing a slam poem, kudos to you, this was super great!
1:25 The cutest. Laugh. Ever!!!🥺💖

You obviously didn't listen to everything she said. Neither do you understand what the real issue is
Beautiful spoken
Woah!!!..just woah!!🔥🔥🔥
Why u letting someone take your shirt off when you don’t want them to
Maybe she was caught in a situation she was afraid to get out of..don't judge
Get back to me when you're in an uncomfortable situation and someone tries to sexually assault you. Maybe then you'll understand
Wow- this comment section is ignorant as hell. I’m shook af.
OH MY GOD PREACH
SO GOOD
bubble christmas albums? where he cover nate king cole songs?
"In the end I don't think I've rejected my whiteness as much as it has rejected me." That one hit hard.

Eliana Kitchen there is no such thing as half latina
Damn...
Dayuuuum!
2:33 is serious but it got me
Shiiiit 😭😭💙💙💙💙💙
Wig snatched
❤❤❤❤💔💔💔❤❤❤❤❤
Shuu ☝🏽
So are white men racist for being attracted to women with brown skin, or racist for *not* being attracted to women with brown skin?
Its not about racist or not racist its about fetishism. Some white people only like people of color for their color which is what she meant when she said she's been compared to food many times. You're racist if you only date someone because of their color
So you're admitting that you're too damn stupid to know the difference between personal preference and racial bias... Got it!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I’m always compared to food bc of my pale skin & people will hate on me for being white until I tell them that I’m also armenian then they’ll actually will talk to me with respect. Honestly I can’t stand white people but not all white people are like that it’s really just the stuck up privileged ones.

Ouch
Where do you work?
somewhere where every employee is mad thirsty like damn. (and creepy)
@@teamrockettes Probably works at Sonic..I worked there and the employees have no respect
apparently you don't have a problem with dating them :^)
She learned from her mistakes
If you get offended because someone calls your breakfast “spicy”.... you lose all credibility.
Look who didn't listen to the end of the poem...
I lioove bad self-indulgent poetry!
Here are some ideas for the next one:
Sidewalks are white and streets are black! (Sidewalks are safer, so...)
When we darken light wood, it’s called a “stain”. (Deep)

You’re welcome “poets”
You put quotation marks around poets as if everything she said didn't make perfect sense
Passive aggressivism...... That's all you got??!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
also "white men discourage blacks from swimming..." might have a lot to do with a long history of blacks being banned from public beaches as well as community swimming pools for most of this country's history,....

If you dont see the problem with this comment idk what to tell you
Awwwwww.... So fragile.
Or maybe you just have bad taste in people
No..its definitely white people having a fetish and no boundaries
This is really powerful and I get that it’s spouse to be racist to white people but come on...
I like this poet a lit but imagine if she titled this on dating black people n used black people stereotypes. Everyone would be freaking out. Smfh.
Collette Barnett shut up.
Because making fun of people who have been oppressed and murdered, raped and belittled for CENTURIES and still today, is not the same as making fun of the oppressors/ people who benefit from the oppression of those people. Do you see the difference?
She oughta be GLAD ANYbody wanted to date her.
An inventive approach. Calling someone ugly because how dare they talk about bad experiences they had...
Your punk ass should be slapped for saying that shit, she is beautiful
I AS A WHITE PERSON HAVE NO CHOICE OVER MY RACE WHY IS IT YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE FUN OF ME??
We didn't have a choice over ours either.
Eli Quinn. So it should be okay to make fun of you too, right?
Elizabeth Briggs No ones making fun of ur race so u can sit tf down.
