The ‘New Black’ Mentality Is Causing More Harm Than Good, So Please Black Celebrities, Do Better

.....I would ask Kanye West to snatch all their mics, but to be honest, his recent declarations that “we” shouldn’t focus on racism, leads me to believe he is on this train of “New Blacks” as well. Destination: White acceptance.

Of course when people read my work and listen to my cultural and sociopolitical analysis, they realize that I am not here for respectability or White acceptance. But rather to discuss racism and to advocate for those who are most targeted by its consequences. And when this happens, their Black friend dreams often go to die, hopefully buried next to a grave with any unchecked White privilege. As many White people as I may know and love, I am not here to make them feel comfortable at the expense of people of color, whose backs are already burdened with the weight of centuries of institutional oppression against them.
....
I guess someone finally gave me what i asked for. a Roster of these new blacks and their Nu Black quotes. The wife hit me with this link today. cause you know i aint on hellobeautiful. lol
