Are you saying black men are equal when it comes to pushing the "white is better" agenda on social and other forms of media?

No shade, I meant it when I said I see folks freaking out about this stuff online but no where else.

There's nothing to discuss because you sound like a white person who "unaware" of racial profiling because they only "see folks freaking out about this stuff online but no where else."

You see what you want to see and bury your head in the sand to the obvious. That's your issue, not mine. I'm not interested in a pointless discussion.

But I still reserve the right to post gifs.

So we love "Get Out" but we not supporting blk chick trying to get into speculative fiction? Support Nate Parker with his whitey wife and Donald Glover but not this chick?

Hmmm...the cognitive dissonance is .

Hope the story is great. She's got awful taste in men but I support blk endeavors especially when I've been longing for more blk epic fantasy for so long.

Besides, we can make all the excuses for her that we make for blk men pawging.
No blk dudes probably wanted her growing up.
They didn't support her on the come up.

As long as they supporting the blk community, who they with don't matter

Why ya'll worried about who other people fukk?




I'm trolling but still

Get Out was his real life experience as a biracial male in a white world. How can you compare the two?

I think it's more the fact that this 23 year old has a book and movie deal when other black speculative fiction writers, such as Octavia Butler and Samuel Delaney hasn't sof much as sniffed a made for TV movie. I don't think anyone is shytting on black speculative fiction so much as why does she get a push, when there are established black authors who aren't getting the same push. Hell, the Dark Matter anthology contains any number of movie ready stories. The Coli often has conflicting and contradictory narratives on race and interracial dating but in sniffing out wenches and bucks, these guys undefeated. Lastly, childhood rejection hurts, some have only just started to heal

That shyts a front/finesse. NEVER trust pro black nikkas they do you worse than any white man.

Yup. Some of the lamest nikkas you'll come across. I see you woke though

I don't think it has less to do with supporting speculative fiction and more to do with hypocrisy over IR relationships.

My only point is, it's senseless and ridiculous to support blk males with non-blk females who represent our community in the media and then cue the excuses and mock outrage when it comes time to support blk females with non-blk partners.

If I can enjoy Luke Cage even tho the main actor is married to somebody lily white and support a blk man producing a pro-blk film while walking a cac down the red carpet, I fully expect blk dudes to put on the same "maybe dey was in love" blinders and reserve IR vitriol for what might be a pretty good project...at least until we see what it's about.

And yeah ur right a lot of this on both sides is about childhood rejection and "getting back at Tasha/Cordell for not picking me" in k-12 school as absurd as that seems.

In any case, somebody texted me about this on Twitter. I honestly would never have known she was with someone non-blk if it hadn't been brought up in this thread. Hopefully the story won't look like c00ning apologetics. Would be quite disappointed.

(And also add N.K. Jeminsin to that list of very good authors u mentioned before.)

N.K Jeminsin! I see the book part of your handle is quite appropriate! I can see your point: sometimes we have to suck it up when it comes to our black creatives, male and female. If the book is good, you're right, we can put on our love is blind binders (considering the dearth of black fantasy authors, this is a necessity) and get behind the work.
Hopefully as you said earlier, this thing won't be the c00ning Olympics. If it's good, we can all let white Bae live lol. Personally, I still want a book accurate adaptation of Tales of Earthsea.
And IR relationships, tend to, ahem, stir passions.

Sounds like life in general, tbh.

BM/WM Relationships are mostly for social elevation....been going on for half a century.
Brehs only been ALLOWED to deal with white jawns for about 50.
One side took massive Ls trying to play chess with p*ssy, the other...rejects and nikkas who know that loyalty is a tattoo. I had relationships within my race only for 30 years. Observation taught me a lot about lifelong folks....they have a look. She has the look.
Her male equivalent would be a 6cert c00nadian that posts in the film room.
Women like her get platforms...way more than her male equivalent. The sex toy will always get more play than the potential rival. All toys ain't female, tho...

She's no Olivia Butler, breh.
Premise seemed cool...she come off like she learned about black culture from white people, though.
Story has curio ifa overtones.
