Everybody wants to be the good child to their God (father). A boy wants to be the good son, because that’ll show his strength and consistency. A girl wants to be the good daughter, because that’ll show her softness and humility. Noticeably both genders have contrasting traits.
Is God Is did a superb job in exposing how deeply engrained American patriarchal values are in the black Church & nuclear family. Essentially, God is the father in the text sense & the father is God in the traditional household.
It was a bold move to have "God"as a woman bc people generally assume only men possess strong & dominant, albeit aggressive, traits while offering little remorse. Vengeance can turn anyone cold & bitter, and it becomes alluring to be that way when you feel justified.
9 times out of 10, apologizing is a waste of time & ego soother. It kills nuance & unpredictability. It creates black/white, right/wrong, and good/bad scenarios which suffocates individuality in favor of cordiality. 2 or more sides to a story, each with complexities.
If your job has somebody grilling hot dogs & patties on Employee Appreciation Day, they don’t give a fuck about you. They bought that cheap ass meat in bulk from Costco’s.
RZA & Quentin Tarantino should be legally separated from each other. Paris Jackson is a bland & soulless actress, but I feel like she would have an amazing modeling career. Shameik Moore can only do so much, and even he felt one-dimensional & uninspired. Story cliche.
I’m conflicted. Earl is my favorite rapper of all time but JPEG is too cold. I think Earl is the better writer, but can’t nobody dish out disrespect like JPEG. Earl will write something that blows my mind, but JPEG has that chaotic, unpredictable energy.
No lie The Crow might be my favorite superhero as an adult. That man was shooting, beating, slicing and dicing folks in all black. I respect a hero that doesn’t mind killing.
