I was on the Kinfolk Kollective page and followed a link that was posted about a racist white lady who called her mixed kids N words. The people commenting are all black and then I noticed a white lady chime in. I often click on a white persons profile when they pipe up on the KK front, as it's a black space, and I'm nosey. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this lady was Naria. I just found it funny, there's no drama or anything, she was calling the racist out too. I was just caught off guard.

I've had a shitty week.
My mother in law is the worst. I'll keep it short. Basically I was going to have my daughter's bday party at her place, but she called my H a few weeks ago saying she was weary of me inviting my "rowdy family" she further explained she means my extended family. Wtf? I'm over here like "bitch you haven't interacted with any of my family since I got married 3 years ago."
Anyway, So I move venue over to my parents and now she doesn't want to come because she doesn't think where they live is safe and she thinks their car will get stolen. Dude, no one wants your 97 Honda. Stfu. So my h has been laying the smack down with her, but im exhausted. I hate that she keeps saying shit like that. It bugs me to no end.

Why do you continue to subject yourself to this casual racist? Do you not think it won't affect your kid? I mean I know it will affect her. I'm not oblivious to that. I'm not making these interactions on purpose. I have no issue cutting her off. I think my H is the most conflicted here. Which makes this an animal to deal with. He wants grandma in the picture. He loves his mom, But mom isn't a nice person. He knows this and he is actually really good at standing his ground. I don't know what else to tell you.

I don't know what else to tell you. I want you to burn it down but I understand that's not always possible. I mean I guess it comes down to if he loves his mother more than his need to protect his daughter. Because his mother will make these comments that she will hear and feel like there is something wrong with half of her. Girl I'm with you. ive said the same things to him. He usually talks to her because that's his circus. We see them maybe 4-5 times a year. It's too much already.

miawallace I'm sorry she's behaving that way. There's so much wtf here on her end, so I'd just wash my hands of it. Have the party at your parents and enjoy. If she wants to act crazy that's on her. My MIL and I have a complicated relationship and for various reasons I cut her off for months. She's wising up now, so I do believe there may be some hope for you too.

I've been saying that she posts there. And the crazy part is they keep saying Becky and she sticks around. They are insulting you. And she was posting there when TCF was imploding Why would she even post there? So strange.

miawallace Was she like this when you were dating? I know you can't go back in the past, but I would have to tell her to kiss my ass. She is destructive.

Her crazy started showing after we got married. I mean, I married a white dude. In the back of my mind I knew things could get like this. I'm not surprised by this. They live in an affluent neighborhood and have very minimal interaction with POC, until I came. My sister in law is dating a Mexican too. He's in for a ride. Lol Even dating my H, gave him a good open your damn eyes lesson about dating me. I still speak my mind. That has never stopped me before. It stings more when she's referring to my family. They are also poor so I can see her comments being classist too.

Isn't her name actually snip though? I meant they use Becky as an insult to white women. Like when they want to mock a white man they call him Chad Ah ok, I thought you meant they were addressing her directly.

I feel that the terms Darth Becky and Darth Susan aren't really my cultural references to use but damn if I don't love the concept.

I lurk some black online spaces because there aren't really equivalent brown communities that I know of but don't comment because I'm not trying to pretend I have the shared experience. I'm glad this board invited and has conversation for various POC. In real life I feel very isolated being a mixed brown person married to a white man and living away from my family.

I'm just now seeing the tag.
I have my desk and chair, I just have to put them together. I also got a brand new printer And a new to me laptop and some other office stuff. I just need my h to clear out the space that will be my nook. I'm scared, but investing in myself is long overdue.

I'm so glad you're doing this for yourself Nonniedee. Are you planning to do some writing? I really, really hope so. You really have such a way with words and I feel that you have a lot of important things to say.

How's everyone doing?
My H is off this week so we've been sort of staycationing and staying local.
Any plans for Father's Day?

Work has been crazy this week so I haven't been able to participate much this week.
No plans for Fathers Day. MH just wants to play golf.

Doing okay. Working at the state Beekeepers conference with my club tomorrow and Saturday. I'm glad that the end is in sight. It's been hellish and I'm so over it.
No solid plans for what to do for my dad and BIL other than we will have some type of foods that they like to eat.

It's hot as hell over here. also, for the first time in over a year my tsh and the rest of my thyroid levels are where they need to be! I've been feeling good lately and i think my doctor finally got the right amount of thyroid med prescription. I haven't had it balanced out since 2015.

Moving right along. It has been hot here but could be worse. Though in typing that, I laugh at myself since it was 62 degrees F this morning and felt kind of cold to me. 😂
I've got to reschedule DD's 2 year old well check again because the office cancelled again. I finally scheduled my personal trainer exam date, so that feels really good. Finally, I think I may try to put Senegalese twists back in my hair. I should have been doing it this week since I had 3 days off in a row. I will let my hair keep its shrinkage this time to see if I can keep them in longer than a week.

One of my coworkers has been wearing a blue lives matter bracelet and keeps bringing up that I'm the whitest black girl that she knows. Normally, she's cool but man that shit just rubs me the wrong way.
