Black gay bars are closing while everybody profits off Black queer culture. Ballroom gets copied, our slang gets recycled, our aesthetics get monetized, & suddenly non-Black people are the face of “Black gay” events.
How do u consume the culture but erase the people who built it?
You just hate that you became the white man’s poster child for bigotry because now they can turn to you and say “even Black people agree with us! Look at this one!”
But we TOLD you that would happen. We literally kept telling you to leave us alone because this would be one of the things that would happen. You were too busy getting paid to attack us though.
I do think folks learning the difference between a beat writer, a columnist, culture writer, commentator, investigative reporter, editor-at-large, etc. could help a lot.
If Jesse Jackson had a "tense relationship with the political order" why were former presidents invited to his funeral at all?
It seems Jesse Jackson Jr. and his family wanted to present the legacy of the radical Jesse Jackson but also get acceptance from the errand boys of the ruling class, i.e. presidents. Now they want to have it both ways and complain about the people they invited?
FYI, I don't know what any of them said, I never had any plans to watch.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers on other sections, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
Between the mergers with Vibe & Rolling Stone and now Teen Vogue & Vogue, I’m actually deeply exhausted with the state of journalism and how such talented writers are given the short end of the stick
