POC are have been historically slighted by these institutions, regardless of their many contributions. It's nothing new - those crying about turning everything into a 'race issue', well sweeties I hate to say it, but American was founded/was built on/and currently still operates upon racial inequities and the exploitation of people of color, and will continue to do so until the entire system is overhauled.

Good Lord. You're dumb. As if Langston Huges, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Nella Larsen or any other number of brilliant black authors make "ART" that ignores the color of their own skin. As if their work is not deeply connected to the social and political histories of racism in this country. Art is often about injustice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women of color is more than "black women" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you purport that race does not matter when it has a tangible bearing on the success and the safety of so many. If you actually want to avoid appearing racist, there is no need to aggressively derail a post trying to celebrate a black woman's accomplishments by dismissing the fact that she is the first black woman Hip Hop artist in a decade to top the Hot 100 and only the second woman of color to do so this decade. People just want to celebrate this accomplishment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't effect them directly, then it isn't a problem - it simply doesn't exist. They can't wrap their heads around it potentially being an issue outside of themselves. Which is the case with a majority of social issues, if it doesn't effect you, then you're predispositioned to not care. And that mindset is harmful. ❤ x ❤ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
