At what point do we ask why these black voices keep getting elevated before others. Not only is this a poorly written article the only reason it ran is because a white editor would be too afraid to veto it. And that's the problem. We have an entire market of "black voices" - in art, commentary, etc - whose target audience are white people. Specifically the liberal "white ally" who has #BLM in their twitter bio, listens to Lizzo, and is opposed to affordable housing creeping too close to their suburban dreamland.
All these black voices have similar traits. They're all from affluent or suburban backgrounds. They're well spoken. And they speak of their black identity as if recent events in the last ten years (attending college, George Floyd, etc) made them realize their true identity, on some "you're a wizard, Harry" shyt. Blackness is essentially a fad they adopted when it made them stand out in ways they like - ie positive white attention. Suddenly white people wanted to know their opinions and they were eager to participate. Performative blackness. Those eager to become objects to be sympathized with, patted on the head, and told how brave they are. It's straight up Pavlov conditioning at work. This white attention is the currency for all this shyt.
In this particular chick's case, even beyond the weirdo racial dynamics it becomes clear she's a narcissist who is looking for a prize to show off.
