I get what you're saying but twitter represents the diaspora more accuratly. Real life represents your local community. It this wasnt the case then news sources wouldnt be getting cues from twitter... but they are. The anti woke movement started on twitter, for example

Not for me

I still never not once heard no one in my family and especially my friend group discuss this woman in any way


Someone in an earlier post hit the nail on the head with who really checks for her

That's why i said that real life represents your local community. Twitter represents the diaspora at large while real life represents your local community. ALL Black men taking lashes on twitter right now because of some article that came out saying that black women face domestic violence in the UK. It somehow turned into a discussion about black american men:

Some of our older generation of black entertainers were on some straight up c00n shyt and like someone else said in this thread, I hope they all burning in c00n hell. And the old c00ns that's still alive, their day is coming when they gotta answer to our ancestors for their bullshyt.

Did any of them support apartheid and neo nazis? Point me to the black men sleeping with nazis at the time, ill wait. Ertha Kitt support RHODESIA and apartheid south africa. She then made a statement by letting apartheid whtie men run a train on her IN APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA (while the locals were begging her not to come to south africa in protest). Show me black men at the time doing anything close to this? Ill wait.

@Gloxina don't duck now, you have a habit of doing that

i'm not one for fake or retroactive outrage but this thread is not divisive. i didn't even know all that about her, if it's part of her history then its disappointing that's all.

How is this divisive? I made a valid statement and posted links to sources.

We pulling quotes from black male entertainers of that time and how they disparaged Black women too?

It appears that you intentionally ignored the thread and the posts. Show me black male entertainers at the time who supported Apartheid? Did you even read the reciepts? While Harry Belafonte fought against apartheid despite married to a white woman, Kitt actively supported racist white men and apartheid. It got so bad that the locals asked her to leave.
