[NEW MOON]

Nevermind, the fictional character of Claire Huxtable. What do you think of the implications of what KeKe implied?

That a black person pretty much has to articulate themselves in a certain way in their speech, mannerisms to be considered "REAL"?

[Barbie Dangerous]

I didn't get her saying that Claire was uppity because she was articulate but more of because of how she carried herself and never became too heated etc.

I've met Black people who are pro-black af and never saw The Players Club before  .

Fnnfnfnf

Like it was literally like  when I'd throw out a reference .

It shocked the hell outta me but I put them on. Fnnfnf
But still respected that they come from a different place . And that's ok.

Hood/"Urban" is just one version of Blackness.

And reducing Blackness to just that one version and using it as some sort of barometer of "realness" is not right at all.

It's kinda offensive . And this is coming from someone who's actually from the hood and doesn't hide it.

That's why I love Tyler Perry. If you look closely at his work - especially his movies ... he makes sure all types of Black peoples are represented .

The loud ratchet gorl, the CEO, the lawyer , the bougie ghetto fabulous gorl who don't know she's ghetto ...

People zoom in on the loudest characters of course but i think he does a good job of mixing it up. It's very realistic in that sense .

We are all still Black. Just with different experiences and backgrounds

One of the comments she made in the video was "Just say what you saying" so it seemed like she had a problem with the character's verbose language.

i think 'moon was simply using what keke said to launch a larger conversation luv.

that was obvious to me at least - with him removing claire huxtable from the equation and posing his question

This is crazy ddddd

It was a joke that is now being taken way out of context

It wasn't really directed towards him so I should've made that clear. It's been this whole DISCOURSE on social media for the last day or so and it's annoying

Yea this isn't about Claire being articulate, Keke is very articulate herself. I think it's more about her voice and mannerisms and just the context of the show with her being upper middle class and a lawyer. She just had a bourgeois type personality that Keke felt was fake and it technically was
