@TrapBasquiat so would you consider looks to be merely consequential to the selective breeding process? or was there a level of intentionality to create attractive slaves? there was without a doubt a sexual aspect to slavery and I’m thinking back to the descriptions I’ve seen on some manifests
@TrapBasquiat okay wait cause I’m working researching agency rn (within the context of blues) and there have been so many discussions on sexuality mainly the freedom to choose sexual partners as one the more tangible freedoms post-slavery next to travel. #thinking
I get that folks feel a way about the general discourse but I do think it’s disingenuous to pretend as if Black artists being pigeonholed into r&b doesn’t have a long history that can be traced back to the race record era.
like these folks been looking at Black music and throwing it in the negro box since Bessie Smith was on stage. the name of the box done changed over time but that mf still there.
see the real question i have about that fake nfl player is how any woman even allowed him to keep talking when every video i’ve seen of him was annoying as fuck. 😭😭😭
