KING

If you're going to mess with me, you gotta be a queen because my blood is royalty.

@79illwill I actually agree with Kevin here but folks acting like people going to admit, openly, that they are small or below average. Come on now. 🤣

@jarnegr0 @thenamelssean1 @EinoShagwell @LRHN_Cash I came to say this. I grew up in the hood and the few white kids on the block I grew up on had the decency to never say it — at least not around me. It was the kids from the suburbs, at school, that said it freely and often.

@AsanniArmon Wait. He was bisexual in I Love Boosters? I missed that completely. lol

@jiggyjayy2 Before that, 19th-c. friendships (male and female) were often romantically ambiguous by default, no one sorted into fixed boxes. So fluidity wasn’t a men-first thing… the binary itself, and the anxiety over crossing it, came later, for everyone.

[KING @BlackElitist]

@jiggyjayy2 Sort of..

Read Hanne Blank’s Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality. She argues “heterosexual” wasn’t a category until the 1860s, invented alongside “homosexual.”

@Butter_backup @DollarBeKnowing Not only is the argument not new, it’s selective. Folks have written about the impact of songs like Thong Song & Back That Ass Up. Juvenile even performed it at Tiny Desk.

Music inspires but it also entertains. Not everything has to speak to one’s soul.

@prfctlyimprfct4 @jamesjonesesq @Krob_LBC It doesn’t matter if she requested her or not. Whoopi would not have been convincing. Have you heard Celia speak? That accent wouldn’t have been good.

See Will Smith in Concussion.

@JontaeAamir_ @francemothers Precisely. Sherri was just a cog in the machine; anyone could and would have replaced Wendy.

The public underestimates these networks… they aren't motivated by public relations, they're motivated by self-preservation.

[KING @BlackElitist]

@jamesjonesesq @Krob_LBC Ok, yes, Whoopi would have been grossly miscast but Samuel L. Jackson as Pedro Knight, definitely could have worked. lol

[KING @BlackElitist]

@WittyEchoes Yes, of course.

[KING @BlackElitist]

@JBibiP @GigglingGanon So you’re going to get arrested and possibly charged for assault just to prove a point?

[KING @BlackElitist]

@OvertempMarine @Variety 🤣🤣🤣

[KING @BlackElitist]

@deasia_paige Yet the moment a Black outlet speaks up, they’re blacklisted.

Hart’s team likely leveraged their influence to silence the narrative. It’s hard for Black media to maintain objectivity when the talent holds all the power.

[KING @BlackElitist]

@deasia_paige It’s a harsh reality for Black media: they’re forced to operate in a 'pay-to-play' environment where access is the currency. We see celebs tolerate harsher critique from mainstream white publications, and they still show up for them.

[KING @BlackElitist]

@NFT2ME @akafaceUS I came here to say this. lol

[KING @BlackElitist]

@Cre8ive_Juice @Its_burkes LMFAO. I went to the D&B, recently, in NYC, with all grown adults and we drank a lot of drinks and played several rounds of games and our bill wasn’t remotely close to $800. And this is NYC.

You might not like her delivery but don’t act obtuse.

@gingeRnB_ @sixinchbeys This + society loves an underdog but hates a winner. As soon as your success outpaces their comfort zone, your ambition is rebranded as ego, and your hard work is dismissed as fame-seeking.

@msiziworld This better be AI because this would piss me off.
