Yes this is what is so misunderstood. https://twitter.com/breenewsome/status/1200458243627245568">https://twitter.com/breenewso...

There& #39;s a cultural history to this *among Black people* ANDDDD an *implied disrespect* when it& #39;s done unsolicited way from a white person TO a Black woman or femme.

When our grandmothers worked in white kitchens and homes, raising their kids, they were "auntied" without permission or desire.

That& #39;s what you& #39;re evoking when you auntie a Black woman & you& #39;re not one.

At the same time, WITHIN and ACROSS some of our Black communities, it& #39;s done with heat respect and at least implied permission.

If in doubt it& #39;sseasy to just ask.

If you don& #39;t mean harm, it& #39;s so easy to not. Just don& #39;t.
