This is how the system of white supremacy operates. The media is used 2 create stereotypes like blk on blk crime.They need black men to fill jail cells for the Prison Indstrial complex
You know what? I’m tired of this. I do not know what exactly they are waiting for. I mean our government comes up with “reasons” to invade other countries, such as Syria, like their government is allegedly violating human rights or something like that. but… I mean for other countries, they do not even have to go deep to bomb the fuck out of this place, they can just look at our media. And this has been happening to people of color since the media has existed.
I’ll never forget this

Did a research project on this in undergrad and the results are extremely alarming because it’s not just in imagery, it’s in language used even in the law making process and within our own communities in a completely different way than expected.
I’ma be honest. I posted this because of that Bossip headline. Shit had me hollering. Idk who is in charged of coming of with them, but them shits are always pure comedy.
Anywho…Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. However, Stephanie Mills don’t give AF. She’s tired (like many of us have expressed) of the industry whitewashing R&B and white artists not paying homage to the Black artists they’ve emulated their music after and make bank from.
She’s been vocal about this in the past, like during her interview with TV One’s Sister’s Circle: “I think [the industry wants] R&B, but they don’t want it from us. They want it from Adele and Justin Timberlake and those people; they don’t want it from us. They don’t want to show the respect of where it comes from.”
