Their otherhood becomes central because their whiteness was. They begin to reject any awareness of their own complicity. It girds against their belief: whiteness is the gift of freedom from oppression, if I’m oppressed I lose both that gift and the curses of whiteness. 3/6

By 2008 Fox, The WB, and UPN were all either defunct or had shifted their focus away from Black viewers. There’s no reason to assume that this was a coincidence. Most Black television had disappeared and Black viewers simply moved to the only shows they had— white ones.

Ryan Murphy would put "Birth of a Nation" under Black Stories and I believe that from the bottom of my heart

Ryan Murphy responds to “Dahmer” backlash: “I also don’t think that all gay stories have to be happy gay stories. There was a moment on Netflix where they removed the LGBTQ tag from ‘Dahmer’… but it was a story about a gay man and more importantly his gay victims.”

Jacob is a ball of good intentions and unresolved savior complex issues. The way he speaks about learning ASL as though he’s a hero is played for comedy AND we see it as a part of his savior behavior. It’s funny but it’s clearly negative.

White ppl stop apologizing for your whiteness. You want me to grant you the gift of forgiveness. You want me to assuage your discomfort. You want me to say you’re different. When you apologize for being white you’re asking something of me. And I’m not going to give it to you.

There are a few Black women I’ve been following since I was a teen who were so instrumental in me seeing my place in media. In the past few years I’ve watched them flourish and their wins tell me I can make it. Thread w 3 of these amazing people and what they do 👇🏾

I think it’s sick that three years ago half of y’all loved and admired Gen-Z but only because of us losing our youth in activism. Now it’s all strays, many from the generation that wanted to riot when journalists made fun of their avocado toast.

The best example of how Black History Month is going for me this year is that this guy lied for no reason.

Going to a PWI is hell. I just sat through a film class as white people discussed how they would choose loyalty to a friend over “abstract concepts” The abstract concept in question was that friend being responsible for the death of 11 afghani civilians

I’ll never forget reading an article in maybe June 2020 where scientists were like ‘yeah if we could have a true lockdown and everyone stood still for a month and tested, we can beat this. We just need a real enforced lockdown.’ …Now I still mask in 2024

We have to stop assuming every movie with a salient theme must have a groundbreaking message. Wealth/greed/power-struggle are common themes in murder mysteries. We were never offered revolutionary; just a return to whodunnit classics, and that’s been delivered

Getting pissy because your movie got released on streaming DURING A PANDEMIC THAT WE ARE STILL IN is truly rich people problems. I still hope Disney loses something but I want the record to reflect this is all annoying to me
