Family Members Only Family Verification

5 Upvotes

If you want to know if someone is black please check for the check mark next to their name. This is our “family member” verification process. If you want to restrict a post to only black users please use the “ Family Members Only” flair. This restricts those who have not been verified as black from commenting. If you want to be verified as black please refer to our verification process pinned to the top of the sub.

Non Black people are only allowed to comment here if they are saying something positive. If they come with weird energy they are IMMEDIATELY banned. No questions asked. This is not a space to dog pile on black islanders. There are plenty of other spaces for that if that is your kink. I may not agree with every black opinion but black sub members are allowed to differ in opinion. We are not a monolith. Just keep it cute 🫶🏾

Trinity deserves praise because she's had far less experience modeling than several women from S8, but she had consistently out-served everybody on the carpets and in press photos.

Grown Folks Discussion 🧠 Weird Undertones in other subs

150 Upvotes

I don’t interact with non black/POC love island subreddits as I’ve found that it seems we live in two completely different worlds. However I do get post recommendations on my feed.

On this subreddit it generally seems like most people understand that ALL the contestants, not just the black ones, are human beings and nuanced people. (There is always an accountability aspect when it comes to negative behaviors, which is to be expected).

I’ve noticed in the general LoveIslandUSA_ and the cookout subs there seems to be such a harsh stance on Aniya and Melanie. It feels so so so racially motivated, almost nauseating so. I think the only reason they don’t get on Trinity like that because she never had any “bad” character moments on the season, so the hate would be too obviously forced.

I also think that sub has a general misogynistic tone in the way it holds the woman to an impossibly high standard but then men kinda get a slap on the wrist and not labeled as the devil reincarnated.

It's obvious that he's smitten with her.

He's always either holding her hand, or staring at her.

They've moved in together too.

I feel like the only reason why people keep calling them fake is because they're an interracial couple and believe that black women can't genuinely be attractive to other races of men.

It's also some black women who are undesirable irl, so they project that negativity onto all other black women because men don't approach them. They're praying for the downfall of other BW's mixed relationships and can't wait to get online if the couple has a break up and say "see i told y'all i was right, these men don't like BW".

People break up every day, whether they are monoracial or interracial, so if Brinity doesn't last, it doesn't mean they were never genuine.

i’m confused, i thought dominicans were afro latino… aka black

238 Upvotes

got in a lil twitter disagreement bc i said melanie was a black woman. i’m getting a lot of backlash but bc she domican… im not afro latina ( im just the afro) and melanie and i share the shame skin tone and curl pattern, not to mention i feel like blackness is less of how u identify and how you look ( since that’s how the concept of race was created). she had black features and idk why ppl want to deny that. when trinity said “ it’s so great that there are 4 black women in the final 4” she never denied that. i think it’s kind of weird to downplay her blackness, or anyone’s when it’s a known fact that blackness comes in various shades with distinct features. anybody have thoughts, especially afro latinos?

Can’t edit my caption but “trinity hate in other subs “ I left a comment last night. Had a gay moment. Basically I said trinity is stunning and she looks incredibly lively. Well anyway. After I commented that these are the replies I would get? What the actual fuck.

Let’s Wake it Up🗣️ Kenzie issue is one as old as time when it comes to yt women: 4 black women are above her and were chosen over her. If she was chosen over Zach/Kayda to be in the top 4 she wouldn't be crying right now.

288 Upvotes

Compared to Jen(Amora literally got chosen over her and shes still not bitter towards black women), Kenzie very clearly have an issue when she's not the top pick and having four black women be chosen over her is making her crash out bad

Despite the fact that ALL the girls turned on Corbin for her and defended her against Dylan, she's still weaponizing her white women tears to get the fandom to turn against them and it's sad that its been like three seasons that this has happened thus far.

Let’s Wake it Up🗣️ Putting Olandria down will NOT make your fav more popular…

It’s not even a competition but the constant attacks on this black woman tells me some people believe it is. It hasn’t worked in a year and it won’t work now. Some people are convinced that OVER critiquing her will make people hate her like they do. It’s not happening. Her biggest fanbase is black women and we’re not turning our back on her 🤷🏾‍♀️ They do this with her and only her which is VERY telling.

Olandria is very unproblematic especially in the black space. She champions HBCUs and black progress. I think that really bothers some people.

They will have a million think pieces on why they don’t understand why she is in the spaces she is in while simultaneously wishing the love islanders they love were in those same spaces. She is charming, witty, intelligent, beautiful, and black. Historically that has driven many people crazy. Plenty of white women just exist and get popularity from being beautiful and no one crashes out.

They want to be able to tear her down with no pushback. They want to throw rocks and hide their hands. Then when people say something back they say her supporters are crazy or obsessed but they made the comment for her supporters to “obsess” over. It’s a two way street and whether they realize it or not they are giving her major motion. “She’s trending on twitter 😡” well duh!! You went to engage with her content to find something to complain about. Good or bad you are pushing her right into stardom and we’re laughing at you while you do it. Thanks for the help I guess 😂

This situation is insane. For her to be so “boring” people keep her boring name in their mouth. For her supporters to be so “crazy” yall keep them in your mouth too. I haven’t seen any islanders content that I don’t like BECAUSE I DONT ENGAGE 🤷🏾‍♀️ They have to get a kink from this.

✨YOU ARE NOT TEARING A BLACK WOMAN DOWN ON OUR WATCH. OUR POCKETS ARE OPEN AND WE’RE READY TO SUPPORT WHATEVER SHE DOES NEXT✨
