I’m telling you right now, as a Black creative in this (honestly, dumb as hell) business, do you know how DEMORALIZING it is to reach THAT level, THAT stage, THAT moment, THAT nod of success and be called a dehumanizing slur in front of your peers?
I would NOT have had “grace”👍🏾
Last night a white Cuban dude from Miami was telling me that his grandparents had to flee from Castro. I asked him if it’s because his grandparents owned plantations and slaves. He didn’t like that.
The BBC omitted “free Palestine” from their broadcast of the BAFTAs, which is on a 2 hour delay, but not the part where two Black men were called a racial slur while on stage.
It annoys my that Snoop Dogg gets so much attention at the Olympics. Dude is getting paid a mountain of money to be there. Meanwhile, Flava Flav out here sponsoring whole ass women’s teams so they can compete without the financial stress and strain that comes with it and he doesn’t get nearly enough love for that, imo.
