Instead of getting mad, I’m gonna educate. The reason Black Americans specifically do not like the big dancing gorilla dude and chicken boy is because they are performing minstrelsy. See below.
Faces Of Black America.
Matilda Sissieretta Jones was an “internationally acclaimed Black opera singer.” She was the first Black-American singer to perform at Carnegie Hall.
So Ben Affleck, AKA Big Boston, found out he was a direct descendant of the men and women that enslaved Black Americans on the tv show Finding Your Roots and got upset lmaoooooooo
Baby what you thought??? You just achieved on your own?
I was dumb young when Chris Rock went on Oprah and asked if she had a weave and stuck his hands in her hair. I also remember him referring to Beyoncé’s as Seabiscuit. He’s been obsessed with Jada forever. He has an obsession with humbling Black women in front of white audiences.
Minstrels in America were people in Blackface or a Black person with darkened makeup that acted like a fucking clown for the entertainment of white people. We are past that!!! Stop trying to take us back.

Yo he sickens me for real. Like legit disturbs my spirit. He can’t be making that much money off this so he’s really doing it for the attention.
If you see these images or anything similar on social media and think anything close to “well what’s with performing and dancing for racist white audiences”, just please remove yourself from the lives of people with souls.
Like of course these racist and anti Black people love him. He gets to be their mouthpiece! He can say what they want to say without getting smacked up. Will Smith changed that though and I will respect him forever for it.

That’s literally what minstrelsy is. The painted on smile was apart of the costume. It was to project an image of the happy slave which was used to quell white concerns of mistreated slaves.

This isn’t the point you think it is. R. Kelly should have gotten thousands and so should Woody. Unfortunately, Soon Yi doesn’t see herself as a victim and refuses to say anything untoward about him.
I wish more Black American men understood that African men are not here to be in community with them. These men want what your father and grandfathers bled and died for. They don’t give a damn about legacy.
@sauvamemte
Thank you!! He definitely knows they view him as more than a teacher and he used that to his advantage. And then when he got in trouble, he posted them with their unblurred faces online. What a weirdo.

Oh I see his business model. He slides in Black people so he can’t be called a coon when really those Black people are supporting a minstrel too
@lunarandmars
It absolutely is and it ties in to the constant battle we see in social media between immigrants and Black Americans. Ignorance for us is death. Ignorance for them is profit.
@iamkidgrande
Right! Like yuck his big sweaty ass been needed to sit down and the name he chose for himself was awful but that watermelon eating shit was beyond disgraceful.

Umm, his mom literally died post liposuction and tummy tuck. Lizzo isn't trying to live up to some unhealthy ideal like his mother. And yes, I absolutely do not care about going to hell when someone keeps talking trash about me <3

I had to rewatch it. Kendrick is sitting on the beach chilling with the people and the camera is following the van when the little boy jumps into frame TOWARDS the camera. You need to unpack your inferiority complex
