@Lovergirly20 No one really has “it” tbh. S7 got on my nerves but a lot of the OGs had aura even the folks I didn’t like. Also, other shows are coming back out. From what i remember, LI really only had to compete with itself last year. We got HOTD, IWTV, World Cup, etc.
And it literally makes no sense to even claim Black Americans as “pure”. We don’t even all look like the darker skinned woman in the photo. We are literally an ethnic group spawned from the amalgamation of multiple African, European, and (some) indigenous groups. Someone like Don Cheadle is 20% European but because of his phenotype, you aren’t going to strip him of his identity so why do it to lighter Black Americans? 🤔
You’re literally erasing a portion of Black American identity when you make an overarching statement like this. My mother and grandmother look similar and no they do not identify as anything but Black American. You can claim whatever but the fact is that SOME Black Americans do look ambiguous. Is the history behind it horrible? Yes. But you lack cultural competence and nuance when you say they can’t identify as Black. Many have for years and will continue to do so.
@foxxyscleo You can’t read then? Ok. Cause I just wrote “most of us don’t…”. Your statement is factually incorrect to say none of us do. Especially those of us up North.
@kazzymotto Why are yall so dumb? No level of critical thinking at all. Having followers does not mean she was an influencer. What are you talking about?
