The last 25 min with the woman who studies Brazil

 

[Poitier]

I was rocking with her on all of the good info on Brazil

Then she went into intersectional mode

Then i looked up her picture and it all made sense

 

[Cape Town JHB]

she was dropping jewels the whole show



Then the anti black man spirit took over

why she wasn't G Checked on the spot i do not know. Trevor and the boys p*ssy'd out real quick and barely challenged her on that bullshyt. '

When you hear people talking smack about Dr Tommy Curry you already know what's up
Trevor and the boys need to grow some nuts and G Check this. They can even do it strategically by playing good cop bad cop, so she dob't use the ''i was ambushed'' angle

Did you peep how even though she's a bit chubby , she's definitely light skin and could be classified as non black non-white person. Which she really did not focus on. She passingly referred to being mistaken for Puerto Rican in NY, meaning how she's treated in Brazil and her ability to be accepted is gonna be faaaaar more greater than if she was a dark skin person. Especially in Brazil. It was interesting how she spent absolutely no time addressing that issue

 

[satam55]

I've never heard any of these blavity-blacks try to debunk Dr. Tommy Curry. They usually don't acknowledge him at all. So I'm looking forward hearing to what her argument against him is. What made her bring up Dr. Curry anyways?

Can y'all think of ANY blavity-black/shea butter feminists that the majority of brehs would consider her fine or bad AF?


I know some folks are gonna throw Angela Rye out there. But she always comes off to me as pandering to fit in. I don't wanna really consider her .

Great episode.

 

[Thanos]

The cultural mulatto/black nerd episode is really worth a thread of it's own. I feel starting discussion on that.
