QuoteTo delegitimize my identity is to delegitimize the experience of my enslaved ancestors who worked hard and fought harder to finally receive freedom from enslavement. To be AfroDominicana is to acknowledge the past that goes unspoken and unrecognized, the past showcased in the texture of my hair, the language I speak, the food I eat, and the music I dance to.

How does one go about delegitimizing an identity? :hmm:

Presumably by saying that doesn't make sense as an identity label.

Sure...but that would be insane.  There is nothing nonsensical about being a black Dominican.

I think I would take issue with the label AfroDominicana. Sounds ridiculous.

Ah ok so if you say that term is ridiculous you are 'delegitimizing' her enslaved ancestors.  Man touchy people.

Was Seedy briefly hired by MSNBC?  :hmm:

Blocking MSNBC was one one of the best things I did for my TV sanity.

Their tweet seems accurate though. People did flip out on the mixed race family Cheerio ad.

No, they flipped out on MSNBC.

I mean MSNBC's deleted tweet. After all:

QuoteThe Cheerios commercial features the same biracial family that appeared in an ad for the cereal brand last year. The ad sparked controversy after highlighting a family with a white mother and a black father.

Also, we already had the conversation about racists when the prior ad debuted.
