I been in Ig comments trying to explain that bar to ppl. They think he coming for Kanye and ain’t event catching what he saying.
EXACTLY.
This is the way you acknowledge exactly wtf is going on without actually SAYING what is going on.
And that’s all everyone has been saying. Kanye ain’t no profit or someone special because he’s “saying everything out loud”. Everyone with common sense knows WTF is going on because we live in the real world and see the one community you can’t say anything bad about. Lmao
Kanye is the IDIOT who stated the obvious.
You know how many Anglos hate that community (for whatever reason— because they hate us too) but keep their mouths shut?!
Black folks are at the bottom of the totem pole and do not run any global industries or have a high presence in any of them.
What did Ye think was going to happen?
This is why you don’t see any other Black entertainers who make it to that level speaking/acting out in that manner. Because there’s no protection once you do all this.
Again, Chappelle literally ran to another continent because he realized what was happening, wasn’t down for it and feared for his life when TBTB basically put a target on his back.
He knows better than ANYONE else who is running things and who not to talk about.
Certain communities have a high presence in certain fields. That’s fine. They happen to have lots of power in those fields as well. That’s fine, too.
OUR issue is that while we may have a high presence in certain fields (well really, one- entertainment), we don’t have lots of POWER in any fields.
It’s not the fault of those communities that we don’t have power. And it isn’t their obligation to happily share that power. That’s the real.
It seems like a lot of Black men are just coming to the realization of where our community as a whole stands in relation to everyone else.
Understanding the importance of being a good person is definitely something to strive for, but until the day this place turns into a utopia, people need to open their eyes and realize a big part of this life is about grabbing resources for your group.
This is why some people think religion has been a mental prison for some Black folks and made us docile.
Every other group practices their religion AND group economics AND group exclusivity (AND racism Lol).
Even with the “stop asian hate” campaign. No one was getting canceled at this level for anything disparaging/offensive to their community.
Everyone knows what it is.
