Some of you might have seen my recent interactions with @yoisthisracist here:
Since he has me muted and won't reblog any of his critics, I attempted to try to tell him why he was wrong. He refuses to post my messages for fear of backlash, but he has been interacting with me privately.
Notice how nobody tried to claim that white supremacists and the Black Hebrew Israelites are on the same level?
So yeah, Andrew Ti is a piece of shit.
Can people actually reblog this time? My original posts never get notes anymore and I have no idea why.
Tawny Newsome and Andrew celebrate Tawny’s first episode as co-host as they discuss Childish Gambino’s new music video, Native American students getting booted from a college tour, and black Airbnb guests mistaken for burglars.

Jon: Have you seen the trailer for Crazy Rich Asians and what do you think of it?
Andrew: There’s a thing for underrepresented communities of all kinds when mainstream Hollywood does a thing, you feel obligated to support it even though for me, as a straight dude, romantic comedies are not marketed towards me. I, for sure, am going to see it. I’ve heard it’s hilarious. But it is not for me. A certain percentage of me going to see it will be homework and being a good person...
I can already hear just from what I’ve said about Crazy Rich Asians I’m going to get Asian friends of mine who will say shit like, “You shouldn’t have said that in public, man.”
[...]
I feel there is this idea of public versus private or conversations within the community. Like shit you don’t say in front of white people etc., or straight folks. I feel we are in a more nuanced time....”
I feel like YITR makes more sense if you listen to Ti's podcasts; he has a very disarming voice, and it makes his vitriol feel less violent. Not that that's nearly enough to excuse his dismissal of black anti-Semitism, of course. (BTW, I found you through his reaction to Don Rickles' death, before he had you... whatever he has you.)
We've been having interactions over private messages, because he's too much of a bitch baby to post my asks publically (screenshots will be forthcoming). At this point, I simply refuse to listen to his podcast. He doesn't deserve the traffic. He's a racist himself.
