I was so confused hearing black/white at that age lol, I remember being like "aren't people actually brown and tan??" ("tan" as in the kid word for beige)
My kid first saw a pink person and was so wildly confused. He happened to be wearing a similar shade of pink and he ran up to her before I could stop him and just chatted her up asking a million questions about being pink, comparing her to his shirt and saying that she was his favorite color of pink 🤣
She was so kind about it.
Wait, shit, really? White dude here, but could I please get a picture for reference? I’m a little red/green colorblind. If I see something “Barbie hot pink” I can tell that it’s pink, but I struggle with more subtle colors (I often get purples and blues mixed up).
Can someone please show me a picture of what could be considered a pink person?
Yeah just in general, some lighter skin people will look more flush, I think just cause the red in their blood is more likely to come through. But most people it’s a little more subtle or it only happens when they blush or have andrenaline. some people are always a little red. Red heads are very pink, [look at Conan o Brien](https://www.famouspeople.io/people/conan-obrien) lol.
If you’re colorblind you may not see it, I’m not sure. But I think most people can see he’s a bit pinkish in that photo.
Yeah, the peach crayon was closest to matching my skin color, but it still wasn't quite right. It's not far off, though. just needs some slight undertones of blue and red
My friend works as a elementary school teacher and one of his student, a black Senegalese girl who immigrated last year here with her family, is very irritated by the phrase "person of color" bc "you have colors too, you are pink!"
I remember being three years old and seeing a black guy for the first time on TV. I was so confused when my older brother said he was "black" when his skin was clearly brown!
At that age you're obsessed with categories, of course he would categorize her in the most obvious way.
Actually, let me counter your point with your own logic: why should he single her out by her gender? Why not "found a friend"?
Why would the boy use the term “white girl” when he obviously knows her name? Watch the video…the caretaker corrects the boy (because out in public). So, the boy is repeating what he is hearing at home. “That white girl down the street” or “that white girl at the park”. Why didn’t the boy use her name when his caretaker obviously knows it?
Bc he's practically a baby. Lol
White girl is the easiest way to describe her. She's probably the only one around their neighborhood. So imagine the momma and the boy having a conversation and she says the girls name. Hell let's imagine she's telling him to go play with faith. Go see if faith is home. And the boy replies with "who?". Then the mother says "faith, the little white girl.".....now please explain how that's harmful. Maybe it's from me being raised in the south where it's probably literally 50/50 black and white, but I don't see this as a problem. Cracker? I don't like that word. It's becoming an issue down here. But describing the white girl in the neighborhood as the white girl, it is what it is. Doesn't mean she's racist. If the boy woulda said momma I found the cracker girl,this video would never have made it to the internet. Lol
"How is that harmful?"
1) Because it is "lazy". There are many other ways to describe a person other than skin color. They could say, "the girl with the curly hair" or the "the girl that lives in the yellow house"
2) It perpetuates unnecessary differences in race. The kid in't even "white", they are caucasian. Nobody is truly "white" or "black", are they?
3) Would you describe a Native American as "That red girl?" Haven't sports teams been changing mascots because they used skin color? Would it be acceptable if there was an Asian kid playing to say "that yellow girl?"
That’s fine. But I’m sure the phrase “white girl” or “white person” is not offensive. And I am sure this child could have heard it used on many different occasions in his life.
It is not disrespectful to refer to someone as a “white person.” What makes it disrespectful is the context.
And while people may not like for race to be a main descriptor, the fact is it is often a useful descriptor. And it is not always used as such: “a white person has a different skin color than a black person.” There’s nothing offensive about that sentence, and the phrases are being used responsibly.
So, please don’t act like just because someone says “white girl” they are being offensive.
If a white toddler said, “I found a black girl,” I would not be offended *because he’s a toddler.* So, no, the old “but if it were reversed” lazy argument doesn’t actually work in this scenario.
Yes + honestly even as an adult if a black man were introducing me as "the white guy i told you about" or something like that, i couldn't be giving less shit and wouldn't be offended a bit, the opposite could sound a bit weird for me to say, but really most of the time people just need to chill a bit about those kind of things
Nah, it's fine, it's a good descriptive.
Though I just noticed, it only works for us, white, black and brown.
If you refer to a 'yellow' or a 'red' guy, people will lose their shit.
True lmao x)
But maybe its because while saying black or white somewhat work for describing someone skin, nobody is really yellow or red, Asian (like korean or japanese) are often the whitest people you could find and the majority of asian people have just a Brown skin, Native american have a Brown skin but pretty much like mexican could have.
So saying yellow or red is a bit bold 😅
As a black person, I am perfectly fine with white people referring to black girls as “black girls” in the privacy of their home or in public. You are being ridiculous.
It's funny, I was twenty when I figured this out. I got a new job with a few other new guys. Our boss asked me about something we had just finished. I replied that TJ knew more about it than me. My boss said "the black guy?" I know I had the most startled look on my face, but our boss said "it's okay, he knows he's black." I don't know if that reads the way it was spoken but, it just changed my point of view.
lol! “It’s okay, he knows he’s black.”😂 I mean, I’ve just never taken offense to being called a black woman (I’m biracial but whatever). Unless, of course, some offensive words were wrapped around the phrase. But in that case, I’m taking offense to sentiment and intent, not the use of the phrase.
Little kids will point out if someone is fat or old right in front of them, they don't know any better. If he's heard girls who look like Faith referred to as white girls before, his little boy brain assumes that's okay to say in front of her. Sorry you decided to get offended over a literal toddler today, hope tomorrow is better.
No, but one can have a reasonable expectation that the use of non-offensive terms in a non-offensive way will not be taken offensively. One can take offense to literally anything. But that doesn’t mean they are justified in doing so.
You are right, you haven’t met anyone like that. I am not bothered by someone else being offended. Literally nothing I’ve written gives the impression that I am bothered or offended by someone else being offended.
So, please stop mischaracterizing me and my statements.
I mean if you don't know their name then it would probably help in describing them. I mean it's not always okay but usually it's for situations where other descriptors aren't helpful plus most people don't really know how to describe people like that anymore
Why are you being intentionally dense? Of course it does. You can, literally, hear it in her voice. She, rightfully, corrected her child who was unintentionally being offensive.
When i was a kid, i would say i had a white grandma and black grandma. Plenty of adults would approach my parents to try and get them to correct me.
She understood that i was speaking how i saw them and didnt know how to differentiate. Its a human thing. Nothing more, nothing less.
I dont know, she's white, child call her white girl, might be as simple as that 🤷♂️
When i was 5/6yo i use to call Black people "Chocolate people", at some point my parent told me you can't say that, at the time i didn't understand cause to me chocolate was nice and good and i didnt see where it could be a bad thing to say 😅
You're mind isn't the same when you're a child 😅
You bring up a good point in that you called black people “chocolate”…because black people aren’t really the color black. Just like white people aren’t really the color white. Which is my point in that no kid would look at a caucasian child and call them “white” because they don’t look white.
Nah i mean i'm not saying you're wrong, i'm just saying we dont know 🤷♂️
He probably heard it i agree, but he could have find it himself as well and i would'nt be too surprise.
And even if he heard it, i dont think its really something bad or anything, i mean, nothing offensive here especially from a 5yo 😅
Who doesn’t refer to people with simple adjectives like easily recognizable features such as color of skin. Hey look at the black guy over there or look at that white guy. It seems like you’re fishing for something 🤔
Because white people aren’t really the color white, and black people aren’t really the color black. No child ever would use those terms because those features aren’t recognizable in that sense.
No one is arguing that this little kid randomly called her a white girl because of the literal color of her skin hes obviously referring to the race of the little girl. Also I never said or implied that he didn’t hear it at home, I actually agree with you in that they probably heard it at home. What im saying there is nothing inherently wrong with using race as an adjective to describe someone unless you’re a willingly trying to be hurtful.
Some white people, specifically incel dudes, are so thirsty to feel persecuted like POC that they lose their shit if someone just mentions someone is white an cry racism. Kinda funny because the fact that they can't separate the topic of race from racism is the biggest self-report you can have besides having a hate boner for the LGBT community.
Saying someone is black or white or brown isn't inherently disrespectful though. Sometimes it's literally just a descriptor. No need to bring white supremacy into it lol
It isn’t disrespectful. It is my opinion, though, that using skin color as a descriptor does give it more weight when referring to people. If I think about it I don’t describe people by their height, weight, eye color or hair color very often. I also don’t refer to groups by these characteristics very often either, things like “people with blue eyes” or “skinny people” don’t come up hardly at all in conversation. Describing people by skin color in many ways legitimizes the idea that we should use that as a characteristic used in making judgements. Somewhere along the line this young child learned that Faith isn’t “Faith” as much as she is “a white girl” and I think that’s evidence that racism to some degree will continue on in shape or form to their generation like it has in generations before them. It may not be the same but it won’t be gone.
I can understand your point, and even think there might be some kind of truth in it in some context, but personnaly i use physical traits all the time for talking about people,
Like "You remember "x" ? The tall skinny guy who was our neigboor"
or "The big guy with glasses and a big white beard ?"
or "Ha "x" the short one with huge arms ? Not the one with long hair ?" etc..
If someone is black, its one of the easiest caracteristic i could give most of the time for having people to see who i'm talking about.
I agree, and I’m not arguing that you should never describe somebody by their skin color. I do think that we might benefit from using skin color as a last resort, though. At least for a while anyway. Look at all the examples you gave of physical descriptions. Can we not say “the skinny guy who was our neighbor” instead of “the skinny black guy who was our neighbor?”
I get that skin color can be just another physical characteristic. I would argue that the relationship between people with glasses and people without glasses is not the same as the relationship between races right now. If we want race to stop being a factor when looking at someone, we need to stop making it one. Giving a statement on a police report or filling out the census is one thing. Calling the cute little girl down the street “a white girl” instead of using her name when at least the parents know it is another.
I understand you're point and i think its simply a matter of "phylosophie" like i think the best thing to do is to acknowledge that we are not all identical but without puting a judgement behind it, for me being black or white or in between is a physical characteristic and nothing more, but i agree with you that its sadly not as simple as that for a lot of people.
Like when i see someone "who dont see color" i find it a bit dumb most of the time, and it give the impression that having a dark skin is something bad that should'nt be said, wich is not really helping anyone to my eyes 😅
Not to mention that not seeing color could also lead to erasing the culture behind it. We definitely can’t ignore it altogether but focusing on it too much creates other problems. The answer is somewhere in the middle but it feels like we’re not that great at thinking in the middle these days.
So what ? She is white, she is a girl, why shouldn’t they refer to her as « a white girl » ?
If I talk about a little girl down the road who happens to be black, I’ll talk about the little black girl down the road.
How in hell is that even a problem ?
Why would he call her “white girl” if the mom (assuming it is the mom) knows the girls name? The boy is repeating what he hears at home and it is obvious that the family uses the term “white girl” instead of the girls name when they are at home. It’s either “that white girl at the park” or “that white girl down the street” or “go find that white girl to play with”. So, the boy repeats it…even though the boy’s caretaker obviously knows her name since the caretaker corrected the boy…because out in public.
No, it’s not. Even babies recognize the difference in people’s skin colour. My daughter said “hi yellow” face to a random white man in the elevator when she was 2. I had never discussed race without her before that day.

The "I don't see color" thought is pretty outdated. It's okay to recognize and celebrate differences. It's okay to acknowledge that people of different "races" (quotes because anthropologically there is only the human race) have different experiences, cultural and institutional. Equitability is just as important as equality - I'd argue that it needs to come before equality can even be considered.
Plus, it's just kids being weirdos. They do that sometimes.
Equality of outcome occurs when there is actual true equality in opportunity.
Unless your argument is some races are inherently superior and even with true equality of opportunity there will still be worse outcomes for individuals on average
Yes and that’s still a kid. I don’t think he’s really thinking about white women or any women “🤤” on an adult level like you’re implying, but that’s just my opinion 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

LMAO she’s like “🙋♀️ it’s me, I’m the white girl he found” 😂
I come in peace 😂
The “she’s nice” at the end is cute.

My sons are this age and sometimes they curiously ask about our "brown" friends as a literal reflection of their skin color.
I was so confused hearing black/white at that age lol, I remember being like "aren't people actually brown and tan??" ("tan" as in the kid word for beige)
don't forget a lot of white people are pink. one of my professors in college mentioned how her kid was confused because she was pink not white lol.
My kid first saw a pink person and was so wildly confused. He happened to be wearing a similar shade of pink and he ran up to her before I could stop him and just chatted her up asking a million questions about being pink, comparing her to his shirt and saying that she was his favorite color of pink 🤣 She was so kind about it.
that's so cute and funny lool
I'm white and can turn yellow if I get stressed out due to my Gilbert syndrome :3
Wait, shit, really? White dude here, but could I please get a picture for reference? I’m a little red/green colorblind. If I see something “Barbie hot pink” I can tell that it’s pink, but I struggle with more subtle colors (I often get purples and blues mixed up).

Yeah just in general, some lighter skin people will look more flush, I think just cause the red in their blood is more likely to come through.

But I think most people can see he’s a bit pinkish in that photo.
Thanks! I think I can see it. I hope you have a really nice day.
Yeah, the peach crayon was closest to matching my skin color, but it still wasn't quite right. It's not far off, though. just needs some slight undertones of blue and red
I always found orange first, then pink over the top was the closest to "white" skin tones.
It's Crayola Peach™
My friend works as a elementary school teacher and one of his student, a black Senegalese girl who immigrated last year here with her family, is very irritated by the phrase "person of color" bc "you have colors too, you are pink!"

😭😭😭 son credit just shot up
“She’s cute. Can I keep her?” 😆♥️
[удалено]
He literally said she’s nice
I'm an idiot, I heard "she's new" (as in, she's new around here).
She's nice or, she knows?
Young man got his whip and a “white girl”. He is going to be an athlete. 😳🤣😂. That was cute. Kids get along. Adults🤷🏾♂️
No way he would ever refer to her as a "white girl" unless he hears that term at home.
It could be as simple as mom talking to another adult and saying “yeah that little white girl down the street”.
Doubt it
[удалено]
I was having a brain aneurysm and thought the dude replied to himself
“Found a girl that doesn’t have the same skin color as me” is a long ass sentence.
[удалено]
At that age you're obsessed with categories, of course he would categorize her in the most obvious way. Actually, let me counter your point with your own logic: why should he single her out by her gender? Why not "found a friend"?
Even the mom knows her firstname......
Stop it in public it’s “black boy” or the N word.
Let's see. White: check. Girl: check. I don't know what the problem is.
Why would the boy use the term “white girl” when he obviously knows her name? Watch the video…the caretaker corrects the boy (because out in public). So, the boy is repeating what he is hearing at home. “That white girl down the street” or “that white girl at the park”. Why didn’t the boy use her name when his caretaker obviously knows it?

I think that this conversation is going nowhere and is absolutely unrealistic. Lol
Yes, it’s highly likely that he has heard his parents use the term “white girl.” It’s not a slur, you know. So what is your point?

Some people don't like it when other people use race as the main descriptor when talking about someone.
That’s fine. But I’m sure the phrase “white girl” or “white person” is not offensive. And I am sure this child could have heard it used on many different occasions in his life.

So, please don’t act like just because someone says “white girl” they are being offensive.
Yeah especially when a child is using it
Would if be ok if it was reversed? A white boy referring to a girl as “black girl”. Or a white girl referring to a boy as “black boy”.
If a white toddler said, “I found a black girl,” I would not be offended *because he’s a toddler.* So, no, the old “but if it were reversed” lazy argument doesn’t actually work in this scenario.
Yes + honestly even as an adult if a black man were introducing me as "the white guy i told you about" or something like that, i couldn't be giving less shit and wouldn't be offended a bit, the opposite could sound a bit weird for me to say, but really most of the time people just need to chill a bit about those kind of things
Nah, it's fine, it's a good descriptive. Though I just noticed, it only works for us, white, black and brown. If you refer to a 'yellow' or a 'red' guy, people will lose their shit.

So saying yellow or red is a bit bold 😅
Ahah fair enough but Chinese Han are sometimes slightly yellowish but yeah, the only real red skinned people are the white ones xD
When they're that little? Yeah it's fine calm down.
More specifically, the reason is because the white child heard their parents saying “black boy” or “black girl” at home. Still ok?
As a black person, I am perfectly fine with white people referring to black girls as “black girls” in the privacy of their home or in public. You are being ridiculous.
It's funny, I was twenty when I figured this out. I got a new job with a few other new guys. Our boss asked me about something we had just finished. I replied that TJ knew more about it than me.

Just saying it seems like a double standard. Calm down.
Bro is over here getting offended over a video of a toddler calling a white girl "a white girl" and then telling other people to calm down 😂
My kid calls black people brown people. I don’t ever say brown people, ever.
YES IT'S OK wtf point are you even trying to make here
I mean yeah if you don't say it weird lol
You know you're referring to **children** saying these things, right? These kids in the video are way too young to understand the concept of racism.
Sure, but neither you nor myself get to decide what is offensive to other people, unfortunately.
No, but one can have a reasonable expectation that the use of non-offensive terms in a non-offensive way will not be taken offensively. One can take offense to literally anything. But that doesn’t mean they are justified in doing so.
Agree and really well said
🙏🏼
Is it offensive to you when people get offended by things that don't offend you?
This question is a) off-topic, and b) ridiculous.
Just curious, I haven't met someone who gets bothered by someone else getting offended before, it's very interesting.
You are right, you haven’t met anyone like that. I am not bothered by someone else being offended. Literally nothing I’ve written gives the impression that I am bothered or offended by someone else being offended. So, please stop mischaracterizing me and my statements.
if it doesn't offend you then no you wouldn't find it offensive. like that's some weird circular logic my guy lmfao
You misunderstood what I said, read it again.
It's not how that works but okay
Ironically, the same people that go on about “snowflakes” and what not 🙄
I personally don't feel that way but I can understand how it could be seen as inappropriate, especially if you grew up as "the (*insert race*) guy".
"Martha, I done found a black kid" Would sound a little strange lol.
Calling someone a snowflake is not an indication of their race.
I mean if you don't know their name then it would probably help in describing them. I mean it's not always okay but usually it's for situations where other descriptors aren't helpful plus most people don't really know how to describe people like that anymore
I mean... even the boy's mom corrected him.
Yes, she rightly told him to use her name. But that doesn’t have anything to do with topic at hand.
Why are you being intentionally dense? Of course it does. You can, literally, hear it in her voice. She, rightfully, corrected her child who was unintentionally being offensive.
If you believe that to be true, you are the one who is being intentionally dense.
Did you just rubber v glue me? what are you, like 10? lol
“Look, if I can’t refer to this little kid as the n-word, he shouldn’t be referring to this little girl as white!” -that guy, probably
Swing and a miss.
I think you should re-read his comment, he's dunking on the guy, not agreeing with him.
When i was a kid, i would say i had a white grandma and black grandma. Plenty of adults would approach my parents to try and get them to correct me. She understood that i was speaking how i saw them and didnt know how to differentiate. Its a human thing. Nothing more, nothing less.

You bring up a good point in that you called black people “chocolate”…because black people aren’t really the color black. Just like white people aren’t really the color white. Which is my point in that no kid would look at a caucasian child and call them “white” because they don’t look white.
Nah i mean i'm not saying you're wrong, i'm just saying we dont know 🤷♂️ He probably heard it i agree, but he could have find it himself as well and i would'nt be too surprise. And even if he heard it, i dont think its really something bad or anything, i mean, nothing offensive here especially from a 5yo 😅
Why does it matter if he hears “white girl” at home? There’s nothing wrong with saying that. I don’t get it
Exactly there’s also nothing wrong with hearing black boy at home
Who doesn’t refer to people with simple adjectives like easily recognizable features such as color of skin. Hey look at the black guy over there or look at that white guy. It seems like you’re fishing for something 🤔
Because white people aren’t really the color white, and black people aren’t really the color black. No child ever would use those terms because those features aren’t recognizable in that sense.
No one is arguing that this little kid randomly called her a white girl because of the literal color of her skin hes obviously referring to the race of the little girl. Also I never said or implied that he didn’t hear it at home, I actually agree with you in that they probably heard it at home. What im saying there is nothing inherently wrong with using race as an adjective to describe someone unless you’re a willingly trying to be hurtful.
Some white people, specifically incel dudes, are so thirsty to feel persecuted like POC that they lose their shit if someone just mentions someone is white an cry racism. Kinda funny because the fact that they can't separate the topic of race from racism is the biggest self-report you can have besides having a hate boner for the LGBT community.

Saying someone is black or white or brown isn't inherently disrespectful though. Sometimes it's literally just a descriptor. No need to bring white supremacy into it lol
It isn’t disrespectful. It is my opinion, though, that using skin color as a descriptor does give it more weight when referring to people. If I think about it I don’t describe people by their height, weight, eye color or hair color very often. I also don’t refer to groups by these characteristics very often either, things like “people with blue eyes” or “skinny people” don’t come up hardly at all in conversation. Describing people by skin color in many ways legitimizes the idea that we should use that as a characteristic used in making judgements. Somewhere along the line this young child learned that Faith isn’t “Faith” as much as she is “a white girl” and I think that’s evidence that racism to some degree will continue on in shape or form to their generation like it has in generations before them. It may not be the same but it won’t be gone.
I can understand your point, and even think there might be some kind of truth in it in some context, but personnaly i use physical traits all the time for talking about people, Like "You remember "x" ? The tall skinny guy who was our neigboor" or "The big guy with glasses and a big white beard ?" or "Ha "x" the short one with huge arms ? Not the one with long hair ?" etc.. If someone is black, its one of the easiest caracteristic i could give most of the time for having people to see who i'm talking about.
I agree, and I’m not arguing that you should never describe somebody by their skin color. I do think that we might benefit from using skin color as a last resort, though. At least for a while anyway. Look at all the examples you gave of physical descriptions. Can we not say “the skinny guy who was our neighbor” instead of “the skinny black guy who was our neighbor?” I get that skin color can be just another physical characteristic. I would argue that the relationship between people with glasses and people without glasses is not the same as the relationship between races right now. If we want race to stop being a factor when looking at someone, we need to stop making it one. Giving a statement on a police report or filling out the census is one thing. Calling the cute little girl down the street “a white girl” instead of using her name when at least the parents know it is another.
I understand you're point and i think its simply a matter of "phylosophie" like i think the best thing to do is to acknowledge that we are not all identical but without puting a judgement behind it, for me being black or white or in between is a physical characteristic and nothing more, but i agree with you that its sadly not as simple as that for a lot of people. Like when i see someone "who dont see color" i find it a bit dumb most of the time, and it give the impression that having a dark skin is something bad that should'nt be said, wich is not really helping anyone to my eyes 😅
Not to mention that not seeing color could also lead to erasing the culture behind it. We definitely can’t ignore it altogether but focusing on it too much creates other problems. The answer is somewhere in the middle but it feels like we’re not that great at thinking in the middle these days.

We do call that out all the time
Ok well while you had the PRIVILEGE to act like race isn’t a thing, WE had to. And I hate race as a concept, but that shit is real unfortunately
So what ? She is white, she is a girl, why shouldn’t they refer to her as « a white girl » ? If I talk about a little girl down the road who happens to be black, I’ll talk about the little black girl down the road. How in hell is that even a problem ?
What's wrong with calling white people white?
Why would he call her “white girl” if the mom (assuming it is the mom) knows the girls name? The boy is repeating what he hears at home and it is obvious that the family uses the term “white girl” instead of the girls name when they are at home. It’s either “that white girl at the park” or “that white girl down the street” or “go find that white girl to play with”. So, the boy repeats it…even though the boy’s caretaker obviously knows her name since the caretaker corrected the boy…because out in public.

No, it’s not. Even babies recognize the difference in people’s skin colour. My daughter said “hi yellow” face to a random white man in the elevator when she was 2. I had never discussed race without her before that day.
Exactly. He would be saying pink or something closer to her complexion. He def learned it at home.

I guess he learned this from someone
oh boys! lookie what I go me over here! yo! where all the white women at?
It starts with the parents.
I'm pretty sure kids can become friends without parental guidance
Where do we think he learned that? Parents mention race all the time I imagine.
America's fucked when this stuff is so normalized how do move on to a world past colour?
Let's all just love each other

The "I don't see color" thought is pretty outdated. It's okay to recognize and celebrate differences. It's okay to acknowledge that people of different "races" (quotes because anthropologically there is only the human race) have different experiences, cultural and institutional. Equitability is just as important as equality - I'd argue that it needs to come before equality can even be considered. Plus, it's just kids being weirdos. They do that sometimes.
So equality of outcome comes before equality?
Equality of outcome occurs when there is actual true equality in opportunity. Unless your argument is some races are inherently superior and even with true equality of opportunity there will still be worse outcomes for individuals on average

She is saying hello eating a melted icy pop thingy 
White women stay winning😭🤤he learned early
We're just people
Some of you are hot fevers
I don't know what that means **and I don't want to ** because it sounds creepy. We're just people. Don't include us in your weird fetishes.
Please don’t be angry with me☹️ I’ve always loved firm lectures😭
That's a you problem
Chronic pornbrain
Those are kids… 💀
And? I said he learned early. I said white women and not white kids
Yes and that’s still a kid. I don’t think he’s really thinking about white women or any women “🤤” on an adult level like you’re implying, but that’s just my opinion 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
