Fifteen minutes ago, Lawrence O’Donnell reported this on MSNOW: the “dark and deranged” White House sycophant Natalie Harp is solely responsible for putting up that disgusting cartoon of president Obama and Michelle looking like apes, about 4 or 5 weeks ago. It was so reprehensible that the orange clown gangster idiot himself had to take it down. This woman appears to have serious daddy issues; her father committed suicide during Covid. She is a tall flat-chested, bleached blonde, and when she laughs (mouth wide open) she exposes huge horse teeth. O’Donnell unequivocally denounced her as a racist.

The "deranged" part is understandable, but I've noticed and uptick in people in the media using the term "dark" and "black" in a negative way these past 15 years or so.

During the 90s and early 2000s when our people were more conscious and unified, it had almost stopped.
Now the shit is starting to happen again.

Dr. Francis Cress Welsing warned us about using terms developed by the White racists.
They use "black" day to describe an unfortunate day.
Or "dark times" to describe a negative situation.
A lot of us think these are innocent and meaningless terms but White folks KNOW what they're doing when they use them.
It sets up a negative association with Black people in the subconscious mind.
Not just among other groups but even with eachother.

Hopefully, you’re not implying Lawrence O’Donnell had bad intentions.

I'm not sure.
He's a White man who's smart and knows how to use words as tools.

The popular term in our community used to be "Dark and Lovely"......now it's "dark and deranged".

You missed the point; he labeled a white woman as “dark and dangerous.” Enough of this.

She may be a White woman but the point still stands that "dark" is being used in a negative fashion or context.
It's being equated to dangerous.

Just like people often talk of "dark days" or "dark times" or " dark clouds are on the horizon".
Or using "devil's food" to describe chocolate.

These aren't just innocent terms....they are memes passed along from one generation to the next reenforcing anti-Black racism in the subconscious.

If you associate dimness and darkness with negativity....when you see dark PEOPLE your mind automatically does the same.

Basta.
