"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 😭)

I’m low-key tired of seeing articles about jkr getting 100k notes every week, why don’t we have some gofundmes go viral
