I really think we are doing a disservice by labeling all these #WhileBlack incidents as “white people calling the cops for no reason”
White people are calling the police for the same reason the police were created: to make themselves feel safe & to control Black people they feel do not know their place.
This “no reason” language is far too tame to describe what is actually going on & language matters when confronting societal issues.
I wish y’all would make up your mind on whether Donald Glover needs canceling or whether you want to bask in his reflected glory on the #blackexcellence tip. This dance has been going on for years now. I think pendulum swung back toward canceling as revenge for Issa Ra kerfuffle
A lot of the Blavity and #blackexcellence crowd moved past Donald Glover’s past when he was getting writeups in prestige media and his show was winning major awards and he was helping with representation in nerd stuff like Star Wars, the most important causes to them
Now a week after these people were all mad at people getting mad at Issa Rae, now they see Glover have one of his best weeks ever and they’re suddenly trying to cancel him again. It seems like tit for tat. The problem is the disingenuous excuses they gave for Issa apply here too
