black peoples obsession with the white gaze is pathetic

[EBK String]

"oh lawd you nikkas can't be acting like that in front of them white folks"

White people hate your black ass because you're black. Act and speak like a Victorian era king and they will still hate and stereotype your black ass.

All the people coming out after the Will Smith slap saying he made black people look bad just showed how pathetic and mentally defeated they are.

Black people do not have to be superhuman and be free of all human weakness becuase white people are watching. That's is their fukked up nature and evilness and we aren't responsible for doing maintenance.

Like 80 Million Cacs Voted for Donald Trump dumb ass In 2020 Imma act how I want them bytches dont have any moral superiority to stand on

this has less to do with gaze and more to do with consequence. once you're out in the real world you'll have a more practical understanding of this.

Will Packer, a Black man, was given the opportunity to produce the Academy Awards this year and this happens. Who do you think gives someone like a Will Packer the opportunity to produce an awards show of this scale and prestige? LeBron? Jay Z? Magic Johnson?

Oh no another Will Smith thread

The only reason why the Oscars has this many black people involved is because a couple of years ago there was a hashtag complaining about how the Oscars were too white (#OscarsSoWhite)

Now that white people allowed black people into their ceremony, you want to pretend like their opinions don’t matter…

So let me get this straight …


We should act like idiots with no class and dignity


Because we don’t care about white people watching


We should all fight and cuss and get drunk because we don’t care about white people watching


in other words be your true selves because we don’t care that white people are watching









the KKK couldn’t write a better post OP

We have the BET awards. Guess they will jusy have to bother showing up to those now. Who knows,maybe you can actually have your own prestigious awards where its an honor and "oppurtunity" to host .If you bothered showing up,and showed them the same respect as you do these white award shows. In fairness BET plays apart by inviting any and everybody,and having little to no standard of formality and conduct.

Hopefully BET can try to bring some prestige back to their awards. Hard to do when alot of our biggest stars are dead or narratives created to make them look like jokes. You kinda have to invite these fly by night nikkas if you want ratings

typical c00n response arguing in bad faith. I'm saying our behavior shouldn't be dictated based on whether white people are watching, good or bad.

it was in front of the world, not just white people. what will did was out of line, stop defending it

This might be a wild take but BET shouldn't be cool with their presenters being assaulted on stage either. OP is sitting here suggesting that it takes a herculean effort to not slap someone for saying words basically leaning in to a stereotype white people have been labeling us with for centuries. Black people are not judged by the same measuring stick as white people are in this country and it's long past time we understand this and move accordingly.

If that means minimizing your interactions with white folk, cool. But Willard Smith chose a path in life that requires him to be in spaces with white people, while doing business with white people and appealing to their sensibilities. Willard also knows what comes with that path, he's accepted those conditions and has played the game by their rules hence his spotless record. White people are also showing him and others how quick your perfect track record can be rendered irrelevant if you get out of bounds.

You can choose to live a life where your decisions and actions are less governed by the "white gaze" but if you choose a path where it does matter, you must also accept what comes with choosing that path.

Their opinions don’t matter - whites are the last group that need to be the meritorious meritocracy of moral authority on behavior.

And no the Oscars (nor do white opinions) don’t mean shyt considering the past recipients to earn that nomination nod played mammies, wenches or the violent trope. Nevermind the fact that the one black woman, Mo’nique who played an abusive mother ended up being lowballed with her pay, blackballed and casted from the industry altogether. No, the academy ie whites are not the deciding factor - they don’t gaf about black people regardless of how we act. What @Matt504 won’t address is how the academy literally awards black actors for playing immoral or subservient characters.


Denzel Washington won for playing a corrupt black cop in Training Day but not a black father in Fences. Hattie McDaniel - Servant (they didn’t even want her in the same room/auditorium with white actors) Monique - Precious, Halle Berry- a piece to a white Supremacist, Forest Whitaker- Corrupt ruler. But now yall want to act like they have a moral cac clause for black causes. Foh. The actions of one black person don’t define the entire race but the white haze of their gaze does? Fuk that and fuk your negative in the red 2012 cac response.

Had he did this shyt at the Image awards or BET awards nikkas would’ve joked about that shyt for a few hours and that would’ve been it
