Non blacks will say their proximity to us makes them familiar enough to emulate and imitate us. I never saw you people in my church. Y’all wasnt at our cook outs, or any place or worship, reverence, community or recreation. Stop lying!
WandaVision revealed to me how white folks experience trauma and instantly the world has to be bend to their knees. They have to create a new reality where their pain and loss is centered above the needs of communities they aren’t even apart of. Before you say no we are all
In real life Harriet Tubman wished her master dead and he died. She also found love again with a younger black man. But that’s not the story hollywood wants to tell.
No ones face should be carved into the sacred Black hills. Black or white. Those mountains are scared to a number of Indigenous peoples, and especially to the Lakota. Just please respect them enough not to do that.
I take the stories of sex workers seriously because I think their lives and work become road maps and legacies of sex in the empire. The construction of desire and they generated billions of their labor. So I especially look at the lives of black gay sex workers
I’m. Watching Hamilton for the first time after reading Ismael Reeds, The Haunting of Lin Manuel Miranda, play.. and this is the most offensive anti black shit I have ever seen. It’s also corny , the rapping is horrible, it’s also offensive that black culture is being used
@bad_dominicana
lol I’m trying to understand , you married an entertainer thinking she would boost your nonexistent rap career. Get jealous when she’s prosperous. Demand she don’t work and then get angry she’s not contributing because you told her NOT to work? This is nigga math lol
Lol Black Americans asking for reparations and the response is “who is even black?” “What is black?” Lmao you know those people who’ve been here 400 years that you’ve held in slavery, experimented on, quarantined in the ghetto, stripped life chances from, and imprisoned!
Abolish the law of attraction. We live in caste system lol youre getting the things you want because your caste makes those things available. You didn’t manifest it beloved.
I’ve spent the better half of 3 hours reading everything I could find on Frederick Douglass’s grandson Joseph Douglass. He was a very accomplished violinist. The first black violinist to perform for an international audience. The first violinist to record his music, of any race.
Tyler Perry has done way too much damage for me to ever celebrate him or his studio as a success. I’ve heard through the grapevine that his studio is anti union. What’s the use of employing black folk is u aren’t going to prop us up.
But the KKK colluded with wealthy members of society. They were often governors or business people. This lie that racism is for the poors needs to stop. All white people participate in anti blackness no matter the income level.
There’s a lot of black humor coming from non black people and ion like that lol like it’s not just AAVE it’s like non black people live with a black avatar they whip out for internet engagement lol it’s so odd
Folks think it’s a game, unlearn your bigotry while you live , so on your deathbed more people will mourn you. Diverse people mourn you. No one can question that you cared about humanity in all its variations.
The fact that so many celebrities have these anti black inclinations when they were “young” should tell you everything about how anti blackness is institutionalized so that from birth these people are racist. I don’t advocate for racism being taught. White anti black racism is
White women gave us Trump and now are crying about RBG. Their feminism really amounts to a familial conflict between their fathers, husbands and sons. That and they are still White people with a self interest in whiteness.
When black people are dying and rioting Hollywood ramps up the black cultural production. It’s strategic. So I expect black people directing summer block busters is a good trade off for us dying and dying and dying and dying lol
Ayesha K Faines was my favorite part of the
@TheGrapevineTV
she has so much wit, intellect and personality. I loved hearing her words and sharing in her wisdom. I’m literally in shock. She seemed like a wonderful human being and that’s what I liked most about her. My sincere
Every time I walk around Columbia university I am l reminded that students were permitted to bring their slaves here and that most of the classes taught here focused on the industries enslaved people were used to work in. The university is the headquarters of white supremacy
“African Americans don’t know which country they’re from” lol girl it’s literally in the ethnicity. We’re from The United States of america lol like duh...are y’all serious ?
Dr Umar and Killer Mike aren’t invested in building black communities. They don’t really care if black men marry black women. They care about giving the appearance that they “prioritize” our communities by policing black women. It’s the oldest tactic in the book
Mathew intimated the girls. Wouldn’t allow their mothers to be co managers. Secretly Trademarked their name . Made sure Beyoncé sang lead on every song, to the point where even Kelly’s voice (who was the supreme vocalist in DC) wasn’t allowed to stretch or grow.
The fact that every original member of destiny’s child is at tonight show witnessing Beyoncé realizing her dream is iconic. What we as fans were slow to realize is none of the girls wanted it the way Beyoncé did. Nobody wanted to sacrifice and give up as much as she did. It was…
I refuse to allow Black Biden supporters to do damage to my mental and physical health these next four years. Y’all not about to “at least hes not trump” away all the anti black, anti worker, anti poor, Etcs policies him and that cop have planned
I really hate you folks who “everybody already knew you were gay” ok so why did y’all make my life so miserable? why didn’t you stop me from being bullied and humiliated. Why did you let me think I was alone?
Y’all didn’t know black Americans ate oxtails. I’m not going back and forth with people who think they know us from watching movies and listening to music. We don’t have a culture you respect. But we do have a fucking culture!
When America needed a middle class, they got the homestead act, land, capital, low interest rates, colleges, the GI BILL, a guaranteed safety net. But y’all come to Black America with financial literacy lol 😂 fucking clowns.
Almost 3 weeks ago, I was held involuntarily at Harlem hospital. All I did was enter the library and I was racially profiled and arrested brought to Harlem hospital where I was held against my will overnight. No one could tell me why I was being held, im still recovering from
Breaking News: New York City will hospitalize more mentally ill people involuntarily, in a push to remove them from streets and subways, Mayor Eric Adams said.
Low key the protest signs “if you take black dick you can stand for black lives” is the same libidinal economy that was surfacing around abolition of slavery. When Frederick Douglass travelled to London to meet with white feminists let’s just say white society will always have
@southernsiren__
Then they’ll have to question their value and end up like niggas only they won’t do that because they like to benefit without exploring/acknowledging the cost just like ahem white ppl
If you aren’t making this world a better place for BLACK CHILDREN. You aren’t doing the work, you think you’re doing! And not just your biracial or light skinned children with class mobility and a tiny bit of access. I’m talking about black children who are visibly black, poor
I loved Shirley Chislom until i read the part of her autobiography where she said black Americans need to get over our anger at white americans, as if they werent lynching us 100 years after slavery; stealing billions from us in the real estate market and just regular old
I hate when we try to make hitler the standard of evil, when at least more than a few Presidents owned enslaved African Americans. And more than a lot of them sat by while we were being lynched and terrorized or started govt pogroms to kill, quarantine or maim us way before
Black American culture becomes just “black culture” real fast until we wanna talk about “American privilege” then we know what’s distinctly “black American” lol it gives exhaustion
I’m sorry but you cannot just slap on some AAVE, go to an HBCU, live around african Americans for a while and just claim to be one of us. That’s not how ethnic groups work. We are an ETHNICITY. You gotta born into it sweets.
Especially as we enter the DIY porn era. Only fans had exposed the flaws of racial capitalism for black content creators. Often the role of the black person is to be the nexus from which capital can emerge. Someone pointed out that black performers most often do not work
Do y’all honestly think black queer children learn femininity from the women who raise them? Because those same patriarchal women beat every ounce of femininity out of me. Like it was done to them. I learned what was innate to me FROM ME!
There are so many white People and Nigerians underneath that Candace Owens post. They both agree with each other that African Americans are “lazy”. Black immigrants take note, this is how you’re used against us and why the distinctions between us must be made. White people can
Andre Leon Talley and Billy Porter losing their homes after decades of working in the entertainment industry should be the signal to the black queers that our ladders 🪜 are standing on quicksand
Joe Biden told us he has our back. What does that mean? These people never laid our specific policy; they never told us in plain English what our vote would get us in exchange. We are going to have zero wealth in the country we built. Zero wealth!!! Capitalism eats the poor
I’m sorry bruno Mars and Anderson give blue eyed soul. It sounds very candy corn. This isn’t soul music. It’s not even R&b. It’s a racially ambiguous jingle.
When ever someone says that African-Americans don’t have a culture or that our culture is primarily of West African and Caribbean origin it erases the 400 years of life and culture that we created here on this land
What’s also not being critically engaged is black Americans are victims of lynching. 100 years of it and setting bodies on fire was routine and ritual violence. Telling a black person to set themselves on fire as a gotcha during black history month
the protest was absolutely a comment on his whiteness, on his position as
a white a man in uniform. it’s so ridiculous to gloss over that to ask black people “well are u gonna set yourself on fire” and not taking his action to task as a question for white people…
Black performers would make more for their interracial content but that’s not how racial economics works. It’s often the white content creator who benefits more. Fetish is an economy. That’s why I asked rather seriously is the fetish for white flesh actually a fetish for white
Folks are always trying to make it seem as if African Americans aren’t culturally distinct (even regionally) but literally everyone has interacted with our culture at some point because it is so vast lol like I hate the games
There’s something very sinister about a black person putting on American Blackface in movies about race and then saying, “actually guys this race stuff is boring it’s just how I make my money”. If I went to his country and did that I would be an imperialist.
I hate when folks start comparing the earnings of random jobs.. “a fast food worker doesn’t deserve to paid the same as a teacher”. But you can’t start your morning off without a cup of coffee or an egg sandwich. Someone has to wake up at 5am get to their shitty job and make
If you don’t wanna talk about race, you coulda kept your ass in the UK. Lol America is built and functions based on a racial calculus. Lol funny Kaluuya and Issa Rae both expressed these sentiments. And yet they work in the American movie market. Y’all can easily make your money
Jay Z is a capitalist who views social justice as a way for him to profit. Beyoncé also a capitalist views black culture as scheme for her to profit from. They are literally the same and yet jay z gets more hatred for selling drugs than Beyoncé does for selling us fantasy!
If a Black American was casted as Queen Nanny of the Maroons, and that actress had expressed anti Jamaican sentiment for years all over her twitter, y’all would be pissed too. Stop tryna make Black American grievances small and petty.
Black men go to the doctor and have to fight literally everyone for recognition and care. And you have to do this without appearing to be aggressive and people read aggression into everything you do. Not going to the doctor is harm reduction. Navigating health care isn’t any
Y’all hate the idea of black male studies because y’all don’t want black men to have the language to narrate their own trauma. I see the way y’all do black men who aren’t pulling the weight black womens abuse and it’s scary and weird for folks who pretend to care about black
the. fact that ida b wells told garvey them ships would be his down fall and he did it anyway-- should point us to her i guess as knowing what do to next in times like these. just saying..
Which is why she fired him as her manager before the release of 4. Yes Beyoncé worked hard but those girls had been there since they were kids. They also worked hard. But when your mom is the stylist, your father the manager, your cousin the lawyer, all the music connections
