I think you're reaching a bit here, and by "a bit" I mean "an insane amount." There is plenty of real racism to get offended about without having to conjure it out of thin air.

White outrage is fucking annoying as shit. It's not our fucking place to be telling anyone what they should be outraged by. It is our job to know our privilege, to stfu and listen to POC. And to use our privilege to change shit.

And as far as divorce them from their meaning...We don't need to cling on to racist history. Black men were once viewed as sex machines who lusted after white women. Does that mean it's wrong for white women to pursue black men? Does that mean a black man can never try to be sensual without it meaning he's playing…

Nope definitely not a cross-cultural association with fertility. Gotta be racism. Just like the 20,000 year old Italians who made this

I read it and thank you for sharing it. It was very interesting.

Right? Says a little more about the accuser than the accused, doesn't it?

Look at Kim Kardashian. That is a white woman famous for having a huge ass! I'm tired of the idea that a big booty and "ratchet" clothes = black. If you (using general 'you' here) think wearing a grill means you're appropriating black culture, maybe you don't know any black people in real life.

I just said something similar in another post. Assigning things like "hoop earrings," "big ass," "long nails," and "so-and-so hair" is kind of racist, right?

Magic Johnson is rolling over in his sarcophagus.

That looks nothing like me or my family. A big ass in this day and age does not equal a black woman. You're ridiculous.

The wigs scream Cleopatra/ancient Egyptian, don't they?

I made this argument once in a comment section on Jez and people told me that there are still (a tiny, tiny minority of) Egyptians who worship the ancient gods and that this kind of stuff was offensive to them, sooo...

Hardily agree.

It actually looks more like a mummified sex doll to me rather than black caricatures. And what's wrong with the black hair? The wigs do not scream African-American. The hair is not stereotypically Black.

I'm sorry but I see no race here. The black hair doesn't even closely resemble actual ethnic hair and the rest of them are covered up in mummy shit, so how exactly do they look like black women? All I see are mummies with huge assets.

I think some of the dancers are guys.

White people getting angry at white people for what may or may not offend black people. LOL

Yeah, I'm a black woman and I can't even work up any outrage over this.

I for one am just glad that there are no ancient egyptians around so we can all be spared the jezebel outrage article (that writes itself) on the cultural appropriation of ankhs and sphinxes and what not.

I think you're reaching.
