Dude really just said that a white woman saying Serena Williams is beautiful carries more weight than he or Jemele saying it, basically it's not validated until a cac agrees with us:pacspit:
hmm

Playing devils advocate: I can see where he's coming from: Sometimes it;s not just up to you to judge yourself. You may need to hear it from someone else to feel even better about yourself

Example: You may think you're smart. Your family may think you're smart. But let a complete stranger compliment you and say you;re smart you'll feel more... weight in that because you know said stranger isnt biased.

What can i say :manny:

Maybe the sentiment isn't ethically correct, but seeing as the white man pretty much controls the media, ie the arbitors of which celebs are "hot", unfortunately its kinda true in that sense

The problem is we don't get the same treatment, no matter how ugly we think Jennifer Aniston is white america has already decided she's a perfect 10. The fact is our opinion doesn't matter until we get a cac cosign.

Why the fukk do you care about how Jennifer Anniston looks though? Why do you care about white co sign when you probably don't interact with them in any real manner? Sounding like folks talking about people they not even interested in. Man dudes on the next level sucker shyt nowadays

Fall back bruh, I was using an example about how our opinion means shyt in society and you clearly typed before thinking. I was bringing up a black man (Michael Smith) talking about white approval carrying more weight which sadly a lot of black folks buy into, if a white analyst said this i wouldn't have been surprised and i would've paid it dust.

That's why I don't give a fukk about their opinions.

You see those "most beautiful people alive" or "hottest women" list they make? :scust:

I can name like 20 black actresses that look better than Sandra bullock.

We all know how they rock. Media owned and operated by white men and white women who promote the idea of white beauty.

He's trying to say our opinions are treated akin to second class citizens.

Need to see da clip because if he in fact did say dat insanely retarded shyt then...:francis:

I heard him say it as well. I had his and hers playing in the background. he was referring to JK rowlings responding to a fan when someone called her masculine.

he basically said that when JK said that serena looked good, that it validated her looks basically.

the tweet in question is below:

Nah I won't fall back. Don't care about your example obviously because its stupid. The whole point of your thread is stupid and I had to say so since this is a messageboard and thats the reason of this bad boy. If you don't know what he meant when he said that either you're really young and or really stupid.

Don't take it personal though I'm just busting you up because this is stupid but I'd say the same thing to friends/ you IRL no malice behind it. Its just how I talk to cats on these types of discussions.
