I’m not putting the whole article here because breh had the opportunity to write his rebuttal on Vanity Fair but opted to write it for a black publication instead
Opinion: The Black Boogeyman Lie
There’s a scene in D.W. Griffith’s racist epic “Birth of a Nation” that takes place in the South Carolina Senate chamber during the Reconstruction period when, for the first time in history, Black men were able to vote and hold public office in the former slaveholding south. The scene depicts these newly enfranchised Black men as barely sentient savages, eating fried chicken, butchering the English language, dressed in torn clothes or outlandish costumes in pathetic imitation of their former masters.
