Derek blanks is a menace to society
Fbrbebdbdbd

Like his visual mind is that of a 12 year old, no shade
Ntm on black artists, Derek has great vision. We kii now but those Alter-Ego shoots they were cutting edge at the time.
So me finding Derek's work corny is somehow an attack on black artists in general? Where is the correlation
may not be ur intention luv

At all. I know ur a good person and all that jazz

But Derek is known for things like embodying/representing Atlanta , Black art, etc

So a girl coming for him may be seen differently by different folks.

And that goes for anyone. Not just someone who's of the Asian Caucasian persuasion.

Cuz I def lash people of all colors who try Tyler Perry . Black or not watch that mouth


n

the girls are free to express their opinion of his work without all that extra BS attached. his mess is very BASIC and the alter ego thing wasn't ground-breaking by any means at the time, you just didn't see BLACK folk playing with it. which, kudos to him. however, his results were usually a MESS. and that's exactly what people pick up on. no one has to pretend he slays just because he's black just like we don't have to pretend tyler perry's work isn't absolute shit.
covered all this by saying different folk will see it differently

Yea I wouldnt say it was groundbreaking either. Like someone said, I first remember seeing it in 2003/4 on ANTM, and Im sure it had been done before that, too. And then he was doing it so MUCH, even with Bran

And @ivorian oph when I say "try Tyler Perry" I don't mean someone saying something like "I didn't like that movie . Actually I don't like any of his movies."

More so the "Tyler is pure trash. Very ghetto. Only certain type of black people like his stuff lolz"

Those comments that are almost always laced with a certain brand of anti-black condescension.

And The attacks that actually seem personal as opposed to focused on the work itself.

That's when I be ready to draw blood from a gor. :cheerup:

That comment about Derek's mind didn't sit well with me . Regardless of intent
