I mean we all know now. I would hope. But when I was growing up I thought that was based on a true story in the vein of What’s Love Got To Do With It

only to find out it’s fiction. Alice Walker was having problems in her dating life with white men and a divorce with her white husband and took a sabbatical down south and wrote the book.

Slandering black men and our image for literally no reason as she wasn’t even with us. Won a pulitzer prize for FICTION.

It was so propagandized that James Baldwin himself panned it.

And pointed out that making such a villain of a black man without any background information gives to the idea that we’re inherently vicious and sadistic

Who the fukk sits down south alone and conjures a novel about black trauma porn like that?

This hoe said she got so much of her courage and strength from black men and still went out her way to create a fictional piece of art that tarnished our image for generations .

One of the worst hoes to ever exist and i hope she soon shares a cell in hell with Bell Hooks
