No shade, this is why I avoid groups of straight black men; and spaces they largely occupy. This is so CRUEL and unnecessary, I can’t imagine the fear that this woman went through.
Being deemed “beautiful” or “attractive” does not help your chances in dating and romance. Yes, it gives you more options but that doesn’t translate to quality and character of people that make up those options.
I saw a lot of nasty comments about Ms. Netta and it just made me remember that y’all only want to see Black Queer love if it’s 2 masculine Black Gays, who think they can’t get clocked as a couple.
God forbid it’s a gender non-conforming person or any other expression.
Y’all are seething over this, woo. Meanwhile on the original tweet this is a shared sentiment/critique.
They’re not whining, they’re literally just dry humping and recording it for other men to think that’s just the thing to do, or that’s the pinnacle of Carnival?
The over policing of language prevents people from comprehending and considering the context of what someone is actually saying.
She’s simply saying that it took a Black Transwomen, who themselves are constantly disregarded, to bring reconciliation and light to her situation.
So, next year when a group of this boy’s streamer fans go to Jamaica and randomly grab women to dry hump I should see no complaints.
Carnival has showcases of whining, we know the dance FORM. But they’re not doing the DANCE FORM, they’re literally just dry humping women.
The straight black boys mad over this. They’re quoting and commenting violent rhetoric, for me citing my feelings of discomfort of being around GROUPS of them for fear of violence from them.
All on a video that shows them being violent towards a black trans woman, how ironic.
Y’all I gave this guy at this café my number after he was too shy to approach me and kept sending his coworkers, and listen to some of what he said to me about when he saw me. 🥹❤️
I’m gagging.
Well, Black people’s migratory patterns in America are rooted in safety and economic access; these are cities with expansive black communities and where blacks have access to the local economy.
Young black people move between 7 major cities. They just keep rotating lol Atlanta, DC, Miami, Houston, Dallas, LA, NYC and honorable mention Chicago.
Maybe Netta is just old and she doesn’t identify as anything but a ‘cross-dresser’?
As previously said, everyone isn’t going to articulate themselves like they’re a graduate of a Sociology or Women Studies program; her sentiments are being articulated the best they can
She had no album out, no record deal, just a feature on this track and had to think quick. So she put on this white punk-rock wig and let Roman do the rest. 👀
What I hate about how y’all do Keith actually has nothing to do with his reviews, it’s because y’all try to punk him. And it’s all because he’s a sweet and personable man so y’all equate that to him being “soft”.
While perpetually complaining of hyper aggressive men 24/7.
Keith Lee and DJ Envy have a small back and forth on The Breakfast Club when Envy referred to the way he reviews food as the 'hood' way
"that energy that you gave me, when they give it to small restaurants thats what I dont like"
People got mad at me on here when I said that black subcultures should remain exclusive to the respective black community who created them.
Black subcultures commodified (by anyone) and “placed in the market (for consumption)” = them being destroyed, particularly by crackers.
Sure, you get attention, compliments, a level of oddly projected praise for something you can’t control (your looks) but that’s where the ‘buck stops’. That’s not a benefit to me though, that’s nothing more than objectification.
Y’all saying people hating on Ms. Netta because she’s “ugly” with a man, as if that’s any better; or discredits my original sentiments.
Multiple things can exist at once. Y’all hate anyone you deem “ugly” having happiness that you, yourselves, fail to achieve + femphobia.
African and Afro-Diasporic dances involve polyrhythmic body movement; which include: buttocks, groin, and hips.
A bunch of black dances, historically, have never been sexual; they’ve recently been rebranded as hyper sexual displays (due to racism and stereotypes) 🫶🏾
I’m so tired of this narrative that “fem” gay men are just so desired in the community. To the point it’s apparently “stopping”masc gays from finding partners.
It disregards the clear and ever present femphobia in the community; it’s a lie and fictitious narrative.
That’s one of the reasons that I think the aspiration to be “beautiful” is a bit absurd, granted I’m saying that as a “attractive” deemed person.
But, the benefits of romance that many people associate directly with “beauty” isn’t that beneficial?
I got invited to a Brunch date for today, but the guy hasn’t replied to me in 2 days and today is Sunday. The dating pool doesn’t have piss in it, it has characterless individuals who lack integrity, commitment, consistency, and overall follow through.
Everyone is not going to talk like they’re a product of a sociology or gender studies program, and that doesn’t inherently mean they’re “problematic” or we need to be intentionally dense on their articulations.
Context and consideration = objective comprehension.
Is there a trend of putting black queer men on pedestals to be called “ugly” and ripped apart that I’m just not hip to?
He think he looks good, so y’all feel the need to tell him that he doesn’t? Peak loser behavior.
Y’all always wanna talk about someone getting beat up but Cardi the type of bitch to get out there, and y’all could never play her on that fact alone.
It’s too many people who act tough but wouldn’t get out there win, lose, or draw over themselves. This a real bitch.
I’m saying this as an actual Sociologist, practicing and professional, but this constant plight of nitpicking articulations in an attempt to cause outrage or avenue for ‘think piece’ does more damage than anything.
You turn people off and create dysfunction when not needed.
It was a Sierra Leonian family member who taught me how to wrap my hair for efficiency, especially in summer or when I’m in Africa or the Caribbean.
A demonstration of self love and loving of [my] African heritage. 🧡
There has to be a conversation in the community, an honest and objective one, that many of y’all perceive other black male bodies like white people.
Whether dead or alive, y’all find Black male bodies to only have value for sex (entertainment and consumption), labor, or sport.
A man saying that when he saw me I was so beautiful that he choked and couldn’t even speak to me, is something that I will always be able to brag about.
🤧😭
@a_tazzy
She absolutely could’ve used better language but I think her being constantly harassed for her identity in comments caused her to just speak, in an attempt to clear the air about who [they] are.
Yet you still fall into the most quintessential stereotypes of a gay man:
A hyper sexual weirdo, who uses their body for attention in lieu of having anything else that can attract a man.
But go off, masc trade boots.
I am that GAY guy who does not watch rupauls drag race , nor do i understand vogue .. i don’t want to be called gurl .. or do i like to wear heals i don’t like crowd so u would not see me at parties .. i will pick a Netflix over cinema , home cooked meal over take out !
Does HIV mean that someone is no longer a valued human being, with emotions and feelings? Deserving of love, respect, and the ability to live transparently without judgement?
I hate how it only takes one thing, out of someone’s control, for y’all to treat them like fkn dirt.
40. She’s 40 and finds it acceptable to constantly shade, monitor, and attack women in their early to if 20s… for what? All cause they don’t concede their autonomy to “praise” her? It’s psychosis.
If we’re going to talk, let’s talk fr, a lot of cishet black folks don’t find any actual issue with this young boy; discomfort at most.
Why? Because y’all think he is displaying a level of aspirational black masculinity that will ensure he’s not gay, and that’s the sole reason.
I met an elder gay man and one of the first things he said to me after being around me was: “Stay away from the [gay] scene. You’re a handsome man and I can tell by how you carry yourself that you’re a decent person, who was raised right and won’t let someone play with you.”
