i walk into the room dripping in gold

a customer returned a drink because a fly flew into it and said: “one of your flies flew into my drink” and my coworker was so confused that they just said: “…my fly?”

You ever think about many peices of media have zero women and thats just perfectly normal but if a peice of media has an all female cast people get... like that? Women should be allowed to kill over this btw

same but it's black people

That's right

this is just truthslop.you believe it because it happens to conform to reality

This is what Republicans sound like

“I would die for my kids” your children want an apology

your made up scenario isn’t real (shocker) and makes no difference when your kids are starving for your acknowledgment of the pain you caused them. you’re only performing the role of a good parent, without having to actually do any heavy lifting

I promise you haven't fucked up as badly as you think you have.

biggest heartbreak FR

"I've never heard of Megan Thee Stallion before" if you've ever said any variation of "Hot Girl Summer" then congratulations you've benefitted from an internationally popular Black female artist's creativity

"I thought those were just memes" yeah y'all tend to do this to a lot of things Black people create and/or do, while conveniently cutting them out in the process. You should really consider how easy it was and why that is. I do have a suggestion.

It might bother me a little less (but not much) if I didn't have to log on and there's Random White Guy/White Girl #262849 that we're all apparently supposed to recognize as Pivotal Pop Culture, but Black artists who've been putting in work for years and actually affecting your entertainment in ways you don't even bother to perceive are somehow "just celebrities" that you missed. You're telling me I'm supposed to know who Jerma is, but Megan Thee Stallion is miss-able? Mmmm Something's Fishy...

Post isn't specifically about knowing Megan. It's about the constant theft of Black creation and erasure of its Black creators. That ever-relevant Delta Slim quote applies here (and PLEASE don't tell me you haven't seen Sinners if you're an American, I don't wanna know 😭)

And like, to be clear, anyone can feel uncomfortable with this. Discomfort is fine. Nobody is owed a particular emotional response to anything. But ultimately, what is being done here? If you can't really identify a harm being done to another person, what you're getting angry at thoughts harbored by a hypothetical person
