I just can’t let you forget about Prince Rogers Nelson, who, during one spectacular week in 1984, had the Number 1 Album, Number 1 Song, and Number 1 Movie in America—all while Ben Vereen was doing blackface for Ronald Reagan.

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.
Fuck the whatabout - we seek equity. We want a Bill Cosby - rich af famous black man - to get the same treatment as not only a rich af famous white man, but a doing aight relatively unknown white man, or poor as shit nobody: basically an actually blind justice system. Racism being the difference doesn’t mean we shrug…
Cosby may have done good, but not for the love of doing good or uplifting black people. It was camouflage. It was insurance. He was building up the appearance of a good man, so that people would be less likely to believe accusations against him. It was the quid pro quo favours of a crime boss, dispersing largess to…
Exactly. I feel that any good Cosby did was soley for the benefit of providing the mask he needed. His puplic reputation is the thing that not only allowed him the opportunities to rape these women, but it was also the thing that kept his victims silent and in fear. Predators often choose occupations where trust is…
To Cosby apologists:
The reason why it matters to these fucks is because if it happened to him, it can happen to them and they’re terrified that one of their victims is going to come out of the woodwork. Yeah, I said it.
And look at the damage that image of black respectability did to his Black victims!!!
Bill Cosby shitted on the Black Community with that “pound cake” bullshit, just giving gleeful white conservatives all kinds of fodder that they’ve lapped up and been throwing at us ever since. That’s what he’s done for the Black Community.
White people get upset when I suggest that they get Black people promotions and interviews for better jobs. All of a sudden it’s excuses and “well, I mean, I don’t think I can...” 😂😂😂 But I thought Becca and Brad cared about social justice though?
❤️ to all of it lol. These trolls are so hurt.
White folks ain’t that damned stupid, they could just stop that bullshit but what they really want is how to be helpful and maintain their status, which is some inherently contradictory bullshit.
I’m here for this energy and this reality.
Absolutely this. “How can I be a better white person without really changing any of the truly fucked up shit or giving up any supremacy?”
Somebody wants a cookie. You are a good white person. Yes you are.
Just making sure everyone is aware of your trail and record of stupidity, foolishness and disrespectfulness. People catch on quick here and you’ll end up in the grays where you belong. So please do go on and add to your record further.
I think a lot of people test and throw out theories they come to and if they are smart and surround themselves with smart people they will challenge them on these conclusions and force them to grow and mature. Celebrities absolutely do not have that sort of circle which is exemplified by everyone nodding along like…
