I'll try to keep this brief, brehs.
The debate over the barbershop scene in the show Harlem over the weekend is symbolic of a larger issue.
Black men instantly recognized that the scenario played out in the scene was fugazi.
The dog whistle above it was the false narrative that Black men are inherently homophobic and misogynist.
A fake expose to say "this is what Black men are like when nobody is watching".
The writer of this scene, a Black woman named Tracy Oliver, while refusing to apologize to brehs, claims that the scene comes from the experience of a queer writer on the show.
This is the guy:
While numerous Black men and women chimed in to say that they never seen such a thing in the barbershop, I noticed that the majority of people saying that they have experienced that kind of thing were gay Black men.
Brehs, this has been an issue for awhile, unbeknownst to us.
Cacs are notorious for projecting their fear of us into these elaborate fantasies of being viciously attacked by us at the slightest provocation, even though that is not the reality.
A lot of gay brehs do the same thing.
For them, ground zero is the barbershop.
Gay brehs are so terrified of the barbershop, that they make up these scenarios in their minds about what happens in there.
They think that somehow brehs will sense that they're gay and will attack like a pack of wolves.
They absolutely believe this.
So just like cacs, who think our every move is suspicious, gay brehs go in the barbershop on high alert looking for any sign of homophobia or misogyny.
Every word or action gets overprocessed in their minds to the point that they go around spreading this false narrative about the savagery of Black men in their natural habitat.
I notice that when we debunk these false narratives with our real life experiences, women and the LGBTQ bust back claiming that we're just saving face and imply that the truth of their perception outweighs our reality. Kinda like what cacs do to Black folks.
fukk that.
Don't let anybody tell you that your life and experiences aren't real.
Our lives carry as much weight as anybody else's.
Don't be afraid to challenge the bullshyt.
