Read the article. It literally states he wished there were more stories about about black historical figures such as Mansa Musa and Fred Hampton. Stop reading just the quote or headline, read where it came from!

Vanity Fair did a terrible editing job with that quote.

Most of mythology is black, the problem is Hollywood writers who white wash the stories so the fly over states won’t get upset when they’re shoveling popcorn into their mulleted gullets.

His quote was there was no Black mythology or folklore

Historical dramas aren't folklore or mythology...

Black folks be writing all these books, doing all types of music...

But if Cacs ain't pushing it, then it doesn't exist to most motherfukkers

But if Cacs do push it, then motherfukkers wanna complain about it being co-opted or being the work of a plant

Lol can't have it both ways...

White money and prominent Black art go together...like chicken and waffles...

People gotta eat at the end of day

BA DOS Af pr
Let that man breathe

He could say he likes eggs on pancakes there would be twitter backlash

It ain't that serious
It's very serious, actually! Especially him being AA dos, he should know the power he has on influencing others(incl) non Dos, and propagating false, subversive, ahistorical notions to the world is very stupid, and very harmful.
