You Can Comment Freely Now

Just letting everyone know that I've reverted the comment system from G+ back to Disqus.

I had some Autistic adults tell me they didn't want to comment on my blog because they cannot be anonymous with G+ comments, and not all are open at their workplaces or with their family.

While it opens the door for more spam and annoying comments, I hope people can feel safe leaving comments now. The genuine people should outnumber the spam people - or at least I hope!

So please, comment freely! Comment often! Just call to say you love me!

You can still share my posts with G+ like before, so that aspect hasn't changed. If you have any glitches, feel free to send me an email at 1blackpepper @ gmail.com

16 Things You Should Never Say To Mixed Race People

It's been a while since I've covered any race issues and that's part of what this blog is all about! So I saw this video quite some time ago and posted it to my G+. Then I started getting ridiculous comments that I felt I should respond to. So watch the video first and then you can check out the comments below.

My YouTube/G+ responses to being asked about my race

So what do you think of my response? People seem to think that just because they are curious or confused by someone else's appearance they deserve some sort of explanation. I don't owe anyone an answer or explanation for my tattoos, my piercings, my sexual presentation, my colour, my disabilities, or any other aspect of my physical appearance. 

Comments

I use Disqus to manage my comments and find sometimes they disappear. Other times I'm told it's simply impossible to comment.

I've tweaked it a bit on my side to see if it makes a difference. If you've had trouble in the past, please try again! I'm really sorry.
