Is it normal to resent black folks for perpetuating stereotypes?

[The 2020 New Member]

I hosted a show last night and all my black performers were late, smoking outside or bailed because p*ssy. This was a damn fundraiser. People talk about community but they don't wanna fill the role and be a role model. Seeing other black dudes act like this pisses me right the fukk off. Why is it so hard for folks on an independent level to be professional?

They just don't respect you

Maybe you was a bad host, ever think about that? Instead of blaming others for your problems you should own up to them.

What you need to understand is that a large pct of the BC is a lost cause

Find the ones who arent and then build with them

Own up to what? I own up to booking flaky people, un beknownst to me. I didn't make them agree to the show. I asked and they agreed.

That's how it seems.

Nah, breh. Nah. Some of our people infuriate me tho. Its one thing if you get called into work or were legit double booked. However, skipping a charity event for netflix and chill is that bullshyt.

You're right tho. I could have called them everyday and been up their asses. I just assumed everyone with a smartphone used their planner.

We just late, gotta learn to work around that when you promote and host events.

Should we resent you for loving men sexually?

Yeah, its entirely normal.
I resented a lot of my Black classmates in high school and college who would skip classes to smoke weed, never study and have some of the lowest scores in class, get pregnant and drop out (this happened a good 5 or 6 times), get arrested or caught stealing something, or catch a charge doing hood nikka shyt. Even worse is they would try to hinge on being Black as the reason they're doing badly, as opposed to them just being lazy. Its even worse in grad school admissions.
I know the same is true when booking musicians and performers, they come to the shows late, they come drunk or stoned, they get arrested doing something stupid, or they get in a fight/start a fight.
It honestly bothers me, and even though I try to mask it with the usual "white supremacy/raised poorly/just trying to deal with life" excuses, its not enough a lot of the time.

U kinda seem to imply it pisses u off in part becuz of the perception non blacks folks have on such behaviours, wit the way u worded it.

And why cant nikkas jus be late? Or smoke outside? Why u gotta associate it wit their blackness

Well hey, to be fair, non-black people can be just as bad when it comes to being late.
