The obsession with perfect Black character representation onscreen is stifling Black art. Hair can’t be out of place, they need to be rich & never make any mistakes. You want us to make boring films & TV cause you’re living vicariously through fictional characters.

If you reference and reboot everything, what original ideas will you have to reboot and reference in 20 years? You’re just going to reboot and reference the reboot and reference?

Hot take: gatekeepers are no longer artists, auteurs, or visionaries which is killing breaking new exciting voices.
Druski reveals Netflix, Amazon and FX all REJECTED his show ideas because they didn’t believe in him, so instead of begging for another chance, he invested his OWN MONEY and built them himself on YouTube 😲
Now the SAME companies are coming back trying to BUY the shows they passed on and it’s turned into a BIDDING WAR 🔥
“I started to just believe in myself… I’m just betting on myself. Now they want to purchase these shows that we’ve made. Now it’s a bidding war.”
“Before anybody sees the vision, YOU have to see it. It has to start with you.” 🔥

Great reporting here Phil! Also clarity for folks the AI image was discussed by the students. Someone else generated it to portray their student body this way so it’s included to show how this dress code policy led to anti-Black rhetoric to portray a student body in a false way.
There’s been a lot of conversation online about the dress code policy at Tuskegee. But current students have been largely left out of the discourse.
So I talked with some of them:

I HAAAAAAAATE music with fad-forward vernacular. It’s like a new car; the value depreciates the SECOND it hits the streets.

Also not to dogpile but since we seem to be taking criticism, having a team of 40 year old men telling you what your music should sound like as a woman in your mid 20s is very likely one of the reasons for the lack of direction

Just because it feels insensitive doesn’t mean it’s not true. It’s a horrific outcome to a lesson we’ve been told again and again as black people in America
