2024-07-04 04:33:43 +0000 UTCBaby, I feel like if I ever got famous, I would go viral for arguing with all these shitty ass podcasts people. Questioning my blackness when you have a history of doing exactly what for the black community?? Bye

2024-06-23 17:47:44 +0000 UTCWhe. You said Black men treat lightskins biracials ambiguous women w/ possession I FELT that. Cause my critique on it was always ex: Doja yes Doja deals w/ anti Blackness but if Doja wants to only date white men what’s wrong w/ that? If she said she only dated Boack women nobody would blink but she’s both white n Black but Black men act as if she should only deal w/ them and it’s never from a place of “oh she values whiteness more” no it’s always cause they treat lightskins/biracials/etc as THEIRS n THEIRS alone

2024-06-20 19:58:32 +0000 UTCI understand both sides of the forbidden topics issue. On one hand, I feel that the interviewer should be allowed to ask more questions within reason, as long as it’s not offensive, inappropriate, or too ignorant for an interviewer to ask. The interviewer should be prepared for a bad reaction or negative consequences for ignoring the subject’s boundaries. On the other hand, if we want good interviews and conversations, there most likely will have to be some type of tension or challenge that the subject will face. Hopefully, they will have good PR training and emotional regulation to prevent anything too bad from happening. Also, going silent is a choice - instead of fumbling or stuttering, just don’t answer because your publicist said you wouldn’t. I don’t know how Tyla reacted. I didn’t watch the clip of Tyla and Charlamagne; I wasn’t interested and didn’t want to give Charlamagne views. Similar to her being on Kai Cenat’s stream, I have no idea why her team keeps putting her in these precarious situations. I was just thinking about an earlier conversation about how we don’t really get good celebrity interviews and conversations, focusing on Miles Teller’s infamous op-ed, and how this episode reminds me of that. I completely agree that everyone - from celebrities to regular people - should talk about race. What’s your race, what’s your ethnicity, where have you learned about race, etc. I remember when the live action Winx came out, Musa, an Asian fairy inspired by Lucy Lui, was played by an actor who was refusing to be clear about their race. I found that to be ridiculous. A similar situation happened with the actor playing Sokka in the live action Avatar The Last Airbender. The moral here is that Netflix is the devil when it comes to casting, but that’s a story for another time. I wanted to cheer when you said that at all times and especially right now, pop culture cannot be divorced from politics. This idea that pop culture can be apolitical has allowed so much bigotry and hatred to fester unchecked. Side note about Beyoncé. I get so annoyed when people call her biracial. They’re rare now, and they don’t do it as much as they used to, but they were obsessed with calling her biracial because she’s so light. They used the line “You mix that Creole with that Negro make a Texas bama” as some form of proof. What an obnoxious time. I loved that conversation where you contrasted the conversations around the Black women musicians and the biracial musicians. It will be a hard, but necessary convo about why the reason it’s so hard to have Black representation is because a bulk of Black people don’t want Black representation - they want biracial representation they can fawn over.

2024-06-19 00:02:54 +0000 UTCAs someone who had to just accept their blackness (as a darkskin) bc I spent a vast majority of my life around 0 black ppl and 0 representation (it was either this or internalized anti blackness imo), it sent me when you went at the end of the day imma be black as hell tomorrow cause like exactly FHDEHXDZD the way black folk act towards lightskins, like they’re some kinds of deities that hold an infinite amount of power and whose behavior can pivot the whole world’s view on black people… it’s honestly pitiful but what can you do

2024-06-17 19:48:38 +0000 UTCSay it! Now's not the time to be apolitical, we have a situation on or hands. Also, these are the same ones that want to opt out but then come running back when they get burned. Please, if that's how they want to move, leave us alone.
