Maybe my brain is a bit too pessimistic but am I the only one that is sometimes troubled by how certain parts of the media embrace black culture.
I'm not talking about institutional racism. What I mean is, even when the media is RT'ing a photo of Janelle Monea or Lupita Nyongo, there's this feel of tokenism and/or objectification.
“Here's this wonderful black thing that we love. Look at how progressive we are.”
I laud that these actors are being celebrated, but...
The sucking up to celebrity is painful to behold.
