Not self titled. Not lemonade. Not Renaissance. Not the diary of Alicia keys. Not cuz I love you. Not fan mail. Not acoustic soul. Not under construction. Not the emancipation of Mimi. Not I Am… Sasha fierce. Not Loud. Not Dirty Computer. Not H.E.R
When you talk about the need for reparations, think about this: the land that was stolen from the Bruce family would be worth 75 million dollars today.
Dedicating Renaissance to uncle Johnny is particularly beautiful bc black families so often don’t talk about our gay relatives who died of AIDS. To celebrate him rather than hide him away? That’s PRIDE.
Remember how Megyn Kelly’s tv show was so bad that NBC gave her sixty million dollars for the right to literally never air another second of her words again

If you don’t like it, then LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE MY THERAPIST WANTS ME TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH CONFRONTATION
There are still white families in Los Angeles living off of the wealth they earned from selling the land that became Santa Monica and Malibu. Yet these people were forced to become line cooks.
If not for racism, the Bruces couldve been a cultural force in Los Angeles like the Skirball family — which sold its beachfront hotel in San Diego for 52 million dollars in the eighties. Anyway, “progress!”
What if I told you that a white dude using racial slurs is actually not pushing boundaries but rather the oldest most boring fucking hack trick in the book of boring fucking hack tricks.
Dare me to tell you which streamer asked me to "reduce the amount of jargon" in the script and when I asked what they meant highlighted Kente cloth and Morehouse.

But the problem with this is is that respectability won’t save you. Or anyone for that matter. Philando Castile followed the cop’s instructions calmly and exactly and was still murdered in front of his family. Police shoot sleeping black people in their own homes.
And to be clear! Love many of the people selected here and am happy that they’re getting a moment to shine. But if your “blind process” produces… this, then perhaps you should ponder who you’re putting the blindfold on. Just a thought
Oh right EPISODE 2 of
