"Like what's the maximum number of nikkaz with dresses on before we're allowed to be alarmed?"

Afropunk is a blavity black feminist's dream. Gay black men and "swirling" as far as the eye can see.
There is only so much of that you can see before the vibe is totally ruined. Would rather just go to a normal festival with non try-hard black people like Roots Picnic.

shyt ain't really "punk", it's Black Lollapalooza these days The fact that they're deliberately highlighting the most alt of alt black folks kinda shows that. Then again, you got nikkas out here upset that Black folks are rocking Slayer and Metallica shirts and calling them posers

Yea white people be slick and if im rocking a band shirt or my jacket with patches they'll be passive aggressive in tryna flex seeing if I'm a poser or I actually know my shyt

Okay, I have something to say in regards to afropunk, gentrification, Brooklyn, the arts, expressionism and etc.


Yahoo is now part of Oath

This to me sums up what's been wrong with society for the past decade and some change. I know for a fact that she knows nothing about afropunks history or original purpose. I know for a fact that she's a follower that just threw on that shirt for likes, self promotion, money and attention on social media. She more than likely is someone who moved to Brooklyn that isn't from there to be cool, trend hopping with the hipster culture that's pretty much ruined Brooklyn with the whole packaged trend that goes along with gentrification (the artsy, vegan, yoga, coffee house, craft beer, vintage clothing, vintage shyt, hipster shyt, social programming and social engineering by real estate developers and business people). All this posing and faking is really fukking up real shyt. This just annoyed the shyt out of me because I know that her and a bunch of other people basically went to afropunk for all the wrong reasons.

It annoys me how nowadays we can't have real shyt or be real because there's so many people that are more interested in being famous, getting paid, and basically serving their own self interest even at the expense of ruining things.

Personally, I wouldn't even want to go to that event like that because it's purpose isn't what it really is about. There's a time and place for everything. It seems like nowadays folks are trying to force all this disingenuous bullshyt down everyone's throats and those of us that are real pretty much see these people misrepresenting or playing themselves. She gets what she's looking for so to her this is a win but it's really a loss for all of us that are real with ourselves because people see her and begin to think that she is what it's all about.

I'm really getting sick and tired of all these self centered, self serving, narcissistic opportunists and all this gross bullshytters fukking ruining good things.

Me personally, I would like to dye my hair blue and go about expressing myself (i've always wanted to do that shyt since my senior year of high school which was like 2003-2004) but when I see her and all these other people doing it to be cool, attention seeking and etc, it makes me not want to do it. I'm doing what I'm doing from the heart. These folks can't even be themselves. They're just doing what they're doing to be liked by other people, likes on social media, money, attention and etc. shyt is beyond corny that grown ass people gotta do that shyt.

This is similar to black lives matter and these actorvists injecting itself into other people's grassroots activism movements on some legit, heart felt, meaningfull shjt combating oppression, co-opting them, basically some controlled opposition shyt which kills the original purpose. I can't with this shyt.

Realest post in the whole thread.
