I don't like the fact that there's a label called "alternative black." Like, its a skin colour? I can like Young the Giant and Drake at the same time? I can read John Green novels and laugh at black twitter jokes?
i think youre misunderstanding, “alternative” is just a lil descriptor term for black folks who have “unconventional” interests, it’s not like.. a legit identity or anything.
of course you can have alternative interests and still like trap music and other black shit. most of us “alternative black kids” do. and thats literally what we’re talking about, people think we dont like black shit or that we dont like being black because we like “non-black” shit.
it’s not any kind of serious label lmao
