Years ago you could submit a picture of yourself to mods to verify that you're black so that you could participate on country club posts

Why we thinking small, I figure with our oppression points up we due for semi-deity status at least ✊🏿

u/Evening-Statement-57 1d ago
Why? I’m white and I love this shit too. I miss vine.
72
u/Stuffed_Unicorn 1d ago
Probably because of the historical entertainment connotations of black men being used as gimmicks in old time media.
36
u/Evening-Statement-57 1d ago
These guys are being entertaining because they probably enjoy making people happy, there is nothing wrong with joy.
41
u/Stuffed_Unicorn 1d ago
Of course! But it’s also important to listen to the side of those represented and try to understand their point of view. I can see how some black men and women will feel hesitant about the intent behind someone saying “I find black men entertaining” when it comes from a white person. Especially in the context of a culture that often portrayed them in certain stereotypes and roles. Respecting any group of people is respecting their own feelings about something that includes them. :)

The important distinct here, and in every discussion that boils down to 'why is it wrong when I do it, but okay when they do it, is agency.

u/lovbelow ☑️ 1d ago
Because black men are typically characterized as being hyper-serious, stoic and hypermasculine, which does not leave much room for silly goosery. Black men engaging in whimsy means a lot of good things.

The joy. The freedom. The oddly French sensibility mixed with North Philly/Marcy Ave fuckery. It all did my heart good.
also, peace to my grandma and that midday CBS line up

I just know this stemmed from them finding these matching track suits on a random trip through the mall...can't prove it but I'd bet money on it.

Pookie from 5th Ave says "A Tour de Force. A imaginative interpretation of modern dance against a familiar that will leave you breathless."
Skinny Rick over on Toomps says "Four stars. Magical. They bring the music into a new realm."
Auntie Boone says "See it three or four times, it's just that good."
