Great post, but while I agree your point about white acceptance, its important to note that Glover started with a white core audience, who were the primary fans of Community and early Childish Gambino. Glover has gained credibility with black audiences over time, which interestingly has helped transformed from an…
Thank you. He needs to work on his obvious issues with black women at least before we start the hype machine.
Say this one again for the kids in the back
Yea and before that Will Smith.
I can’t speak about other people’s opinions, but I can say for myself that I absolutely give the stink eye to Black men who want to further Black men only, and talk Black while sleeping white, no matter who they are. I know for a fact about Douglass and Belafonte’s shittiness towards Black women, but I don’t have much…
Please, no man who disdains (fully) Black women, has an Asian fetish, and loves himself some white women can be described as unimpeachably Black, ever. He is just some weird little guy who has a good tv show and also makes ok music...but should realize he is not a singer and makes people uncomfortable trying so hard…
It’s also worth remembering that ‘critical acclaim’ is a euphemism for white people’s acceptance and that is what is Glover is enjoying right now. That’s not to take away from his talent and accomplishments or suggest that black people don’t love him or that our love doesn’t matter. But the success he’s enjoying is…
I am at the point, where any artists/entertainers has to rely on colorism and misogynoir (yes.... Misogynoir), in order to help them gain fame and gain a massive following, then they can trip and fall off a mountain for all I care.
I’m also not here for it, because i’m already seeing extra spicy takes about Glover having a white lover and interracial children. This all feels like Hotep bait and i’m not here for it. Celebrate the art. Celebrate the artist. Don’t worship any of these niggas, you’ll be disappointed.
I struggle with where DG is at now. Like, on one hand, he is undeniable talented and I love how creative he has been and continues to be. The man is a contender on every front that he approaches. My concern for him, is that you see things like his music video, and the persona he seems to be currently cultivating, and…
Regardless of what you think about Glover can we all please agree he should keep his shirt on? Prince was sexy, he’s somehow skinny and fat at the same time.
I’m forty-two and what is this?
I had to keep rewinding the dirtcast that covered the bhad bhabie fight because my brain kept stalling each time they said their ages. I’m sad they dont seem to have anyone in their life watching out for them in this phase where you do and say stupid things as you learn who you are and how the world works. I was still…
My 10 year niece’s favorite website is also books. *high five*
Hi Lil Tay,
By god, it’s taken human form!
I’ve never seen a single video of this “Lil Tay” or heard any of her “music.” But I have a couple theories:
