Wait. Cancel all my posts. Delete all my comments. Hold up. Let me re-evaluate. What the fuck did I just see on my dash???
Whoever is leaking these photos of Williams knew him-knew him and has DIRT. I just came across pictures of him at a college party, wearing a box-braid wig, over-lined lips for a "picaninny" lip look, and a blouse tied off into a crop top (open in the front like a Hooters waitress). He didn't go full-on Justin Trudeau or Dutch Zwarte Piet, but that's… that's blackface. I'm not going crazy? His stans are all like "it's just braids," and I'm like "no--that is a whole COSTUME, y'all." That's a costume. He put on a costume. Of a Black woman. That's a costume... that's misogynoir.
#Combine this with Storrie dressing up white girls in war paint and braids and labeling his photos of them as 'Native'#and also doing the braid appropriation thing#throw it away#throw it all away#like. holy shit#and don't get me started on the appropriation of black aesthetics and their association w/ machismo among East Asian men#and Williams' appropriation of those aesthetics and AAVE
