We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our dark selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, it doesn’t matter. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too.

The Black Gay Agenda:

We’re the ones loosening your durags and head scarf when they come off at night.

We buy up all the spicy pieces at Popeye’s so you cishet black folk have to wait.

We secretly sneak up behind you and make your elbows ashy.

Me: I really want a girlfriend

“He feels like a real guy who has some weight on his shoulders, and yet you look in his eyes and see this vulnerability and this sweetness. For me that really encapsulates the vibe of so many African-American men that I know and love. But in film and television we either see the alpha or the emasculated. He represents this beautiful hybrid of all that complexity.” — Ava Duvernay on Lakeith Stanfield
