Michael: You said Americans THINK? Americans and thinking in one sentence is very wild.
Peter: i get what you’re trying to say but you’re wording is hurtful. i hope it wasn’t your intention, but now you have people attacking african americans in your comments. we don’t control other people, but our rhetoric has consequences.
Abel: Someone just said Tyla is not black but she wears black hairstyles LMFAO and yet they want to fight me when I say Americans think they own blackness.
Precision: I saw a comment that black Americans are so insecure about their identity that when someone whom they deem as black doesn’t want to identify as such their perception of that person choice as anti-black is a heavy projection of their racial insecurity. And bona 💯💯 spot on.
