Is that a basquait ?

 

[AlainLocke]

I mean when you have Black people calling themselves pro-Black...Black done jumped the shark....


Oh and in....

 

[jj23]

ok.... (lemme take a sip of that juice box)

I just hope, when the controversy starts, and she does or says something to piss off her Cac contemporaries, that she remembers her artistic expression and doesn't come to us for support...fair is fair after all...

Shut up idiot, you are biracial.

Can't knock people for defining themselves or taking ownership of themselves. What she's saying is the intent of fighting for equality. Unfortunately in this society that's not always possible. Might not ever be.

 

[Sauce Dab]

She's not a black artist because she's not black

 

[Ol’Otis]

Isn't both of her parents half white?

Kinda agree.. I feel like you can identify as Black and be a proud African or whatever else, but when you're discussing artistry, it can be demeaning to attach these kind of niche-titles.. It's like calling Michael Jackson or Louis Armstrong a 'Black' artist..

This is ALOT different from conversations about ethnicity, where those kinds of distinctions are needed. (African american etc.)

nikkas don't seem to understand that when Cacs defined themselves as White and then defined Africans as Black and they cut us off from the rest of humanity....

So a painting by a Black person is a Black person is a Black painting...

A painting by a White person is a painting...

A White actress is an actress...

A Black actress is a Black actress...


Whiteness is universal and Blackness is not...Blackness is a special thing that White people come and observe and then they go back to their White universal world....

 

[MikeyC]

Whats the problem with what she said?

 

[BigMan]

She's right but y'all won't see it
