Boffum. That's the least these mother fukking companies can do

 

[O.T.I.S.]

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Yall just post headlines. He ain’t say shyt wrong.

If this society was based on meritocracy and not racism, Pharrell wouldn’t sound so fukking stupid. It’s like these guys become so detached from reality, they think that they’re immune from White supremacy.

Sad, because I got every N*E*R*D album since 2002. I didn’t know Pharell was this mentally stunted. Those Smokey the bear hats must’ve brainwashed him.

He was heralded as the special guy amongst a sea of mediocrity. Meanwhile, every damn black person I know professionally is OVERQUALIFIED for their position. So to even think some shyt like that is wildly

 

[AnonymityX1000]

The 'best' is subjective especially in his line of work so he has convinced himself he's special I guess. In some professional sectors it's hard to see who is 'the best' so we have to rely on other signs to choose who and what we are a consumer of.

 

[RamsayBolton]

We pushed for things like DEI because data and tests (such as disguising ourselves with commonly-white names) proved we were devalued for being Black first and foremost, regardless of skills and credentials.

Talk to these LOST nikkas man

 

[Geode]

If black people historically had gotten jobs by being the best, instead of being denied jobs, we wouldn't be having this conversation today. We know that systemically that didnt happen, so let's not be obtuse.

I can hear the quote tweets thru the phone. I know they calling him all types of c00ns.
