Just a reminder folks I'm pretty much never on here. I legit had to spend an hour recovering my account to even tweet this. If you need me email me or dm on insta ✌🏿
I make a lot of content. I make mistakes. I usually apologize for the bad ones. I'm not above critique, but at least have them be in good faith. Don't fed jacket me off quote tweets and screen shots. Please and thank you.
So this tweet in question is in response to the following snippet from a live stream replay i did last week. I think my intention is clear, not trying to say Cuba is a "failed state" but to illustrate some history of counterinsurgency...
In FD Signifier’s video on Mamdani, he called Cuba a “failed socialist” state..even tho he was alluding to sanctions, subversion and coup attempts limiting the capacity of a revolutionary project, he’s so vague about his own ideological tendency, that it rubbed me the wrong way🫤
If this were a real video and not me talking off the dome on a livestream i might have been more careful in my wording as to not engender any confusion, but i feel like my point and intention is clear.
@TheSportProhet Explain to me how I'm not making black art or how im "using" black people as discourse as opposed to using my own perspective and experiences like any other black artist. Everything else you've said is nothing i havent said myself but saying im not making art is a new one.
@TheSportProhet Farrakhan on the cover is one of my most watched videos from black viewers. But even then those white viewers come for the very reason mentioned here. Other than not making these types of videos, what is the recourse?
@TheSportProhet Being the nature of making black art under the white gaze. Every black creator of anything who is successful owns that same criticism. My question is what would you have me do? My audience isn't predominantly white (depending on the video) that original video with...
@TheSportProhet secondly, what about it is performative and voyeuristic? What about it is tailored for a white audience vs a black audience. Can you be specific or is this just vibes? To me I'm just making the most entertainging and informative video i can make. Can you give me details?
@TheSportProhet So first, you are acknowledging here (through omission) that you at least recognize that you critiques of the videos' actual content were wrong. So i'll roll with that until stated otherwise, but again open to more perspective...
@TheSportProhet I'm not above critique in fact im constantly looking for it. But I'd like it if you critiqued my actual content not the equivalent of the book cover. I hope you watch, let me know where i can improve.
@MistahKelly@VanLathan please point me to the video where i campaigned for Kamala Harris and "low key throw slights" you mentioned, i can't wait to see this. The weird Drake obsession sounds like a you thing and being mad about switching thumbnails is so petty it makes me mad that i responded to this😂
@VanLathan@MistahKelly They never say more lol. They always keep it as vauge as possible in order to allow one's imagination to run wild when it usually comes down to I dont like someone they like or they disagree with something i said.
Hey look what i found with a little video essayist researcher muscle. Tree of Logic, one of Destiny's wierd black orbiters admitting on stream that Destiny never planned to actually debate and always planned to act in bad faith.
for those trying to say this is "one sided" and no corroborated by Destiny in his own words. Here's Tree talking to Destiny on stream "in code" about their plan.
