Afro south Asian indian

Afro south Asian Indians are As commonly conceptualized, the modern states of South Asia include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Ethnic groups include Sindhi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, and many others. The Hindus in South India are followers of various Hindu branches such as Vaishnavism,Shaivism, Shaktism, Brahmanism and others. These four castes are the Brahmins (priests, teachers), Kshatriyas (rulers, warriors), Vaishyas (landowners, merchants) and Sudras (servants), and the 5th group are the untouchables, called Dalits. One of the Hinduism's holy books, the Srimad Bhagavatam has a part which clearly says these castes must based on skills, qualities and activities. However in real life tradition, castes separate people according to their birth.

Afro south Asian Indians are a people who were colonized by their oppressors the British raj, which was a period of direct British rule over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 until the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947. Historically, Indians and Europeans alike popularised perceptions of south Indians and lower castes as darker skinned. In the late 18th and 19th centuries orientalists held that Aryan peoples had displaced indigenous Dravidians across the Indian subcontinent, from around 2000 to 1600 BC. After becoming a British colony, the image of a “Black colored” Indian was projected as inferior by British public officials. Darker-skinned Indians were less likely to be hired by the British empire and were given odder jobs and more tedious work, while lighter-skinned Indians were targeted as “allies” of the British and were hired more frequently for government roles. As stated by an American Sociological Society paper, “Whiteness became identified with all that is civilised, virtuous and beautiful,” and these lighter-skinned Indians were “closer to the opportunities that were only afforded to white people.” As colonialism occurred throughout the world, this mindset slowly drove itself into the minds of Indians, whether they realized it or not. A wedge separated Indians into lighter and darker shades of brown, creating generations with an innate desire to be lighter.

Pro-Melanated

Pro-Melanated is about uplifting and empowering the melanated brown Americans on a spiritual, financial and psychological scale, but some people might disagree with me on that statement and that’s part of the problem.

Melanated people want to do right thing for the melanated American community but they think that if you don’t view pro- melanated mindsets in the exact same monologue they do then all of a sudden you are not “awakened.” I swear it’s like some of them want to make being pro-melanated thinking a damn competition. I’ve had people try to test me with that stuff a few times. If I didn’t know the same Truth as them, all of a sudden I wasn’t “awakened” enough.

Single Married Wife

A woman who takes care of all the cooking, cleaning, and financial responsibility of her bills and half of her husband's bills while raising his kids, getting nothing in return for her sacrifices, working night and day shifts as he comes home doing the bare minimum, expecting his single married wife to be his chef, therapist, maid, and caretaker, catching an attitude when asked to clean up after himself, cook dinner, take out the trash, fix the plumbing, watch the kids, or go grocery shopping, but has the nerve to want sex from his single married wife when he wants it unprotected at that it's better to be single and child free than to deal with an adult male with the mindset of adolescent child that'll never grow up and mature into adulthood, if men have anything it's the audacity to require a traditional women without playing the role of traditional man that provides, protects, respect, emotional intelligence, support, chivalrous, integrity, stability, courtmananship.

A single married wife is a lonely, depressing life to live on a daily basis. I'd rather expand my dating options knowing that a single married wife is more prevalent in certain cultures than others with high levels of misogyny, narcissism, incel behavior, and baby mama culture. I'm choosing myself by broadening my horizons and vetting men from cultures that differ from my own while valuing a woman's worth in countries like Greece, Spain, Albania, Sweden, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Serbia, Palestine, Guatamala, Tunisia, Algeria, Bermuda,the Cayman Islands, the Marshall Islands,the Northern Mariana Islands, Antigua, Samoa, Socotra, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Scotland, Canouan, Seychelles, Mauritius, Martinique, Cajun, Romania, Belarus, Montenegro, Andorra, Austria, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Iceland, Salvador, Hungary, Czech, Jordanian, Finland, Luxembourg, New Caledonia, Monaco, Estonia, Macau, Guernsey, Peru, Montreal.

Male Identified Woman

A male-identified woman is an individual who will throw other women in front of a moving train to appease the problematic males she surrounds herself with, giving these men her undying support at the detriment of other women's expenses.
She will fight tooth and nail to defend their mental and physical abuse against women, ignoring the severity of the situation. She will continue to coddle them as if they're babies that need breastfeeding. She'll vouch for their incompetence by making excuses for them over-identifying with men, to the point where she refuses to admit that she views an attack on men as an attack on her.
Women who decide to associate with male-identified women are the types to say, What did you do for him to react the way he did? You shouldn't be raising your voice; you should've stayed quiet. It's your fault for talking back to him; no wonder he beat you. As if speaking your truth gives him the right to put his hands on you, it doesn't. These are the types of women to stay away from; any woman who aligns herself with male patriarchy, knowing how it affects all women, is a danger to every woman.

Male identified woman is a woman who will shift the blame to other women to avoid men being held accountable for their actions, and every chance she gets, she will convince women that they are the problem and they need to figure out what they did wrong for the betterment of the man in their lives. Her advice will be to cook him dinner every day and clean up after him, because that's what good women do: wash his clothes. Have sex with him when he says he wants it. Be his peace; be his home away from home. Put his needs first. While you're busy putting him first, you wait for him to acknowledge your efforts, but it falls on deaf ears. No one's your peace; he's not your home away from home. He doesn't put you first unless you mention it; he doesn't cook dinner for you; he doesn't clean up the little mess you make when you have one. He just doesn't do anything. Everything shouldn't be taken for granted without giving something in return and getting it back. Someone who reciprocates the same energy that you put out is living a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Melanin Male Worship

Melanin male worship is a learned behavior that was taught to melanated girls and women at young ages by their peers, who came from older generations, to uplift, protect, support, and defend melanated men in their communities at any cost, going so far as to be the sacrificial lambs for these men who have a history of mental abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, and femicide. While melanated women do backflips and defend them publicly, these same men pay them dust in return as women in their communities make safe spaces for melanin men, constantly placing these men on pedestals for their imagery when they haven't displayed that same energy in return for defending these men who never cared to defend home first. melanated women repeatedly going out of their way to make these men see the value they don't see in themselves, not holding melanin men accountable for their actions, blaming Caucasian men for their shortcomings, and fighting with women from other cultures that melanin men bring into their own communities, with ill intentions being used against melanated women. Melanin men are placed in unpredictable positions of leadership; they don't build up their communities from the inside out; they aren't career-driven; these men are scared that melanated women are requiring better partners of means from different cultures than our own; when we choose better, we do better.

Melanin male worship is the act of ignoring melanated men's behavior yet ostracizing different cultures from doing the same thing, turning a blind eye to the outright criticism of melanated men but ignoring the tumultuous behavior that they display, singing melanated men's praises for having melanated skin, acting like Super Women for melanin men, steadily coming to their rescue. Every time someone says something they aren't in agreement with while being one-sided race-loyal culture warriors for melanated men who will raise young daughters with no boundaries, standards, expectations, and low self-esteem for the next melanin man to misuse, abuse, and discard, they are actively doing a disservice to these girls who will mature into women that will seek out men with childish minds to start a life with while they settle for a melanin man who has no intentions on marrying them, nor will these cuddled men see the importance of marriage. Eventually, these young women with no guidance play house, giving these men all the wifely benefits without any real commitment on their behalf, resulting in a one-sided situation that's a disservice to the melanated woman involved, who gives all her time, the best years of her youth, effort, and energy to a man that's underserving of it and doesn't want to see the value in it.

Melanated Femicide

Melanated femicide is the murder of melanated women and girls by the hands of melanated men in their households who inflict nefarious acts of violence against the women in impoverished communities on a day to day basis. There's a staggering number of melanated femicide cases being reported and underreported that are just now beginning to see the light of day. Melanated women have the highest Femicide rates, which rival those of melanated men. There were 1,821 melanated women and girls killed in 2020. That’s five women and girls a day. Melanated women are often killed by someone they know. Nearly a third of melanated women and girls in 2020 were known to be killed by an intimate partner or a family member, according to law enforcement homicide data reported to the FBI, and another 16% were killed by a friend, neighbor, or acquaintance. Melanated women who live in Wisconsin or Michigan have a higher homicide rate than melanated women who live in Mississippi or Alabama; melanated women and girls homicides doubled in Wisconsin and Ohio, rising from 21 to 42 in Wisconsin to 57 to 110 in Ohio. the connection between melanated femicide and the melanin manosphere should be examined closely. There aren’t adequate policies or protective measures to address this crisis of melanated femicide. The belief that melanated women and girls are inferior is what leads to death. The melanin manosphere contributes to this ideology.

Melanated femicide is the direct intent to kill women because they are women. It is the intent to murder melanated women and girls. Melanated femicide has many layers, including intimate partner violence and sexual violence. In 2020, at least four melanated women and girls were murdered per day in the United States; this rate has increased significantly, according to FBI reports. Violence against melanated women and girls is predicated on fallacies surrounding our value in society, and this discourse manifests online. The rationality of violence against melanated women is credited to the melanin manosphere, which proliferates spurious anti-melanated woman misogynist views that intersect with other misogynistic and racist spaces. Thus, melanated femicide and the melanin manosphere are inextricably linked. As contradictory as it seems, there are melanin men who uphold far-right ideologies of misogynoir that's perpetuated through the melanin manosphere, specifically surrounding discussions of dating and pop culture. In particular, an occurring theme within the melanin manosphere is attaching masculine traits to melanated women with the purpose of excluding them from definitions of beauty and softness. The idea that melanated women and girls are undeserving of protection has been a common perception since American slavery. As we enter new generations, this idea is transmitted in different ways, such as through social media.
