Chiming in from my 32-hour drive from hell to confirm that Black male creatives become wildly insecure when a BW critic breathes in the direction of their project & they need to take up that misogynoir w/ their maker & not us & keep the same energy they would for a Susan critic.
Or even another critic of color, who surprise, is NOT Black.
And this isn’t limited to producers, directors, or writers either. Actors do this nonsensical, anti-Black woman shit too—as evidenced by the brouhaha that happened in my mentions last month w/ Colter (though those circumstances were slightly different).
Yes, this is a subtweet. And yes the people this applies to are probably looking rn.
I don’t care. Debate your moms.
I went to public high school, you cannot bully me LOL 😂
Niggas wanna flex #onhere for the bird knowing damn well they wouldn’t keep the same energy if my name was Clarissa Kent and I was paler. They know what those optics would have them looking like. But they do it to BW [critics] because everyone shits on us—so it’s “safe”.
