she cleared the Black eating “scene” in a lot of major cities

[West Coast Avenger]

Anybody know any black restaurants out there that are cooking from scratch?

Communion in Seattle.....

This Seattle restaurant was just named one of the top 12 best new restaurants in the world

In the beginning, takeout was the only way to commune with chef Kristi Brown's Communion — here's how she feels about going from a pandemic opening to being named one of the best places on the planet.

I've always made this argument from the perspective of media instead of food tho

You see the same thing in tech. Black people overwhelming taking the same path of cert chasing to get an almost guaranteed six figures. A lot of them have no real passion for the field. Meanwhile, you'll see some white "tech genius" who only graduated from high school, no certs, taking all kinds of risks and experiments because they love tech ... and know if they fail they can live in their parent's second house, or their uncle will hook them up with a six figure job. And if they succeed? Now their six figure job is a nine to ten figure job.

A lot of our people eschew craftsmanship in favor of strict bag chasing, with very little regard to improving quality or constructive introspection. Tyler Perry is a shining example of this

Great example. Tyler's done a lot for the community, but ultimately a lot of his work is disposable garbage. He could try to find and fund some black screenwriting and directing auteurs like an A24, but that would jeopardize the bag. So he just stays on his plateau. Love him or hate him, a Jordan Peele moves the community further in the long run.

I thought these "foodies" loved restaurants with bad service or a little rundown cause the food is better. What happened to all of that why the change of attitude.

More importantly why is this coolie @℃ertifed
stay commenting on black topics

Those women aren’t foodies they just like to go to hotspots to post on IG

thing is though, white studios will take a risk on white director. Tyler's creative passions has basically been stamped down out of a rejection he's adopted in favor of what he knows works.

If you really want a black A24 you're gonna need white audiences in those seats (sorry theres not enough black people) AND you're gonna need white dollars willing to potentially lose money on it.

Remember, these passion projects rarely sell out like that

This topic alone deserves a deeper dive because it's the root of a lot of quality control issues in the black community

Ive always made this argument from the perspective of media instead of food tho

A lot of our people eschew craftsmanship in favor of strict bag chasing, with very little regard to improving quality or constructive introspection. Tyler Perry is a shining example of this

This same line of thought is also why black folks avoid taking risks, in a world where strategic risk taking is how people often come up the strongest

We often "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ourselves into a pit of stagnation, while other races are constantly watching the things we do to see how they can refine and codify it for themselves

The literal truth

Chasing "the bag" and having total disregard of quality is a thing that a lot of black folk have to address. Even in music, we take the least disciplined way to make the most amount of $$$.

First bolded, that is pretty much the lifeblood of TLR and The Coli

second bolded, Tyler Perry does that because he is a direct product of ATL clout chasing culture: money and flash over the substance and long-lasting quality.
