Khalid Muhammad said it best
If somebody is not there to remind black people,all it takes is a smile,handshake and small check from a white man and black people forget
edit-the check is optional
you would be suprised. My older brother is half flip and my younger brother is half samoan. Both act blacker than a motherfukker.Bruno more black than whatever he mixed with. His hair definitely black without a doubt. If he could grow facial hair I wouldn't have thought he was mixed with anything
Why the fcuk should Khalid Muhammad's opinion matter to me. FOH cac.
?
"Prince never won album of the year"
That's why she's mad. Still seeking that pat on the head from whitey. The Blavity's ya'll.
Man GTFO "greatest black leader" according to whom? Shut the fcuk up cac.Why should one of the greatest black leaders of all time opinion matter
You asked the question in the first place,i answered with the words of khalid muhammad. For some reason you got defensive
So people are attacking Bruno, but why does Timberlake (and to a lesser extent, Jon B) get a pass?
Why da fukk do people keep saying this??!!! Folks have been shytting on J.T. for years ESPECIALLY this year cause he came out with a new album.
And I'm saying his ambiguity is not helpful in the case of crossover to whites (who are the mass market) being that his ambiguity still looks like a mixed black person at worst and clearly a POC at best. No doubt he looks ambiguous, but not the type that gives you an auto pass with the mass consumer
white people like black music better when you put a non-black face on it
the same politics are a part of why eminem was so big. if he was black he'd just be tech n9ne. an underground horrorcore rapper with great lyrical ability.
same politics as to why adele is so big. if she was black adele would be jasmine sullivan status.
we know what's up.
that's what happens when you're in a majority white / majority non-black country.
the only problem i have is we as black people don't passionately support our exceptional musicians to the point they just become a fringe niche artist. no reason daniel ceasar shouldn't be bigger but since he's not making vulgar strip club anthems or makes music that "bangs in the whip" we brush artist like that to the side most of the time. we helped make black panther one of the highest grossing movies ever but we can't make H.E.R. bigger?
trap is cool but you got a lot of black people who ONLY listen to that shyt and the only time they venture out of that is for the weeknd or bryson tiller and that's a problem.
The difference is everyone was winning .
.
Alot of black artists do and some don't, those that don't tend not to do so because they know that as black people they're only respected in the entertainment world and if they speak up, then theyre going to have nothing since they've put everything into that industry. Someone with privilege is almost obligated to show concern and help the people who are largely responsible for his success. And I don't want to hear "he's not white he doesn't have privilege" he's part white part Asian and white people fukk with Asians and Asians reinforce white supremacy for the most part.
@ how this will play out.
