I canāt be the only one who thought @yg said āAnd you know them good girls is hard to find like [white] rappers and punchlinesā in the song āSLAYā ā¢ But speaking of White rappers and terrible punchlines, Iām vexed. Iām really emotional when I think about how much non-Black artists get all the support and praise (and money) when using Black/Latinx culture as their aesthetics. Thatās why Black women have to be twice as good at everything, because even when we work our butts off, it takes forever to get recognition, it takes forever for us to get a following, to generate income, it even be from our own people. But when a non-Black artist does the same thing, itās worshiped, their work is revolutionary. I really be in awe at the overwhelming support they get for using our aesthetics for their art. And Im also hurt because I really be hyping everyone up in every way I can while being a student. Like I really be so happy when I see people being bold and creative and slaying. Whereās that same energy and support for Black creatives? ā¢ Honestly, it has me perplexed & when I say something about it Iām the āangry Blackā woman, Iām ājealousā, Iām belittling their struggle as an artist, Iām causing division in the āummahā, Iām not valid, āI donāt know what Iām talking aboutā and Iām dismissed. I really donāt care how I look, because I see it so frequently that I have to say something. This shouldnāt have to be said but of course Iām not referring to everyone individually, Iām talking about structurally. Structurally thereās a lack of enthusiasm and support when it comes to Black artist and our hustles. Hell, when it comes to most things. The āummahā is silent about whatās happening in Sudan rn, whatās happened in Nigeria, DRC, Somalia, Kenya, all over the African continent...Silence...no support. Not now, but when? ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ #blackart #blackartists #rant #racism #systematicoppression #blackmuslims #blm #blackbloggers #blackfashionbloggers #muslimfashionbloggers #letstalkaboutit #letsbsaboutit #hiphop #blackartistry #whiteprivilege #socialissues #antiblackness #blacksupport #blackfashion šLocation: @chicago (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_BTCQA6FJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=px4l5ehmp30b
