Beyond the lights is not about being a black pop star it’s about being a biracial one. Biracial identity is a specific unique experience unto itself and should not be conflated with the black one. Especially when it comes to biracial women as while they do experience discrimination they also benefit culturally in a…

I am sure she is, ain’t no woman marry a man 20 years her senior out of some love bullshit. 

no

Maybe when black men stop hating black women, and learn to love themselves they’ll finally be able to admit and talk about the way white supremacy, and lots of white and NB women hypersexualize them isn’t flaterry, but is quite damaging the toll that takes on their mental, emotional, and sexual health. But until then…

First off. Her dad isn’t black, like I cannot, you people cannot be this stupid.

I agree you are absolutely right. Something else I notice they’re doing and I think they’re doing it from jump are these interracial pairings and I think they use them as an excuse to limit the amount of black people or POC period they put in a production. They’ll have a POC and pair them with a white person and then…

You’re right it was first class! My B, but I stand by what I said. She’s mediocre. She was whatever in Big Little Lies, also in her leads in Vincent N Roxxxy and Yelling to the Sky.

GTFO if Iggy had hit, TI would be out here like....

no

It’s extremely telling that everyone had smoke and comments for the dark skin mono racial black girl with the 4c hair, but not even a cough for the bi racial mixed girl in the same campaign. 

And if the US pays out it only makes the case for the Euro nations paying the caribbean that much stronger. Also Jamaica, Cuba, and others are already pursuing reparations from Britain and the like. 

We are getting that album on Dec 31 at 11:59. Mark my words. 

exactly. With no real original content or show of proof that it’s going to be better than what’s on the channel. I mean..... 

That bolded that you are so proud of is PR jargon at it finest. In the same vein of Jay Z will be working with the NFL to donate a portion of funds to a variety of organizations for the purpose of social justice.

All this energy, when they should be focusing on actually fixing BET proper.
