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....

rep.

there's a difference between discussing and uplifting black people art and inventions in a show of support and solidarity and saying things like "so and so is good for a black artist, actor" etc which is in itself racist because by default assumes black people and their output are inferior to others and said persons product is an exception.

whites love doing shyt like that, saying things like "he's a really hard worker.. and he's black!" or some shyt like that, that is a backhanded racist compliment.

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

They don't seem to get the reason that Black people cannot compete with White people or join the rest of the world is because they segregated the world mentally...


So someone like Thelonious Monk can never be compared to Mozart...

Movies by Black people don't get made unless it's a "Black" movie...

White people want Black people to be Black and so in love with being Black so we can never be human...we can never contribute to the world of ideas and symbolism because everything we do is in the Black box...


White people practice in cultural voyuerism...and ethnic and racial identification is how they put people in cages....

she doesn't want to be labeled and pigeonholed. that's all. I understand where's she's coming from given her circle of associates. She probably receives a lot more criticism than others. I just wouldn't care though, make your own rules, don't play by theirs. People here just don't like to see other people contesting blackness, whether they're challenging yours or denying their own. As soon as race is mentioned in any subject, it's either you're with us or with them. end of the day, y'all all gone die anyways.

So basically go through life assuming none of the responsibilities of being consistent. Be something until it's inconvenient. Be an American soldier until The Taliban closes in. Be blood until you're in lock up with crips. Be white until the whites recognize you as otherwise. Be an activist till someone pays you not to be. Have to admit it sounds comfortable :ehh:

I get it.

The only thing tho...is decades or centuries from now, when/if your art is exceptional..:usure:...

It will be instinctively swallowed as white art, not attributed to the noncapable darker peoples of the time. :hubie:

That is of course unless centuries from now the world is black anyway....and they will dismiss this chics art as contraband of the cac-epoch to be burned and forgotten.:ohhh:

Black will always be synonymous with edgy in this world so by aligning yourself with the characteristics often associated with it you add another layer to yourself. Once you've profited off of it to your liking you can return to sanctuary unscathed. People are easily...almost willingly manipulated so that only helps the process. I'm not excited by anyone's negro caricatures nor do I support it because eventually they all go home

When my name is brought up in a casting office, Im sure the fact that I’m black comes up in discussions,” Kravitz told the mag. “I just read a script in which there were two couples, and one was written as black. When I talked to the directors, they said I should play the wife of the black guy. It’s insane that they still think the black girl needs to be married to the black guy, and everyone else is white. Their thinking is so compartmentalized.”
