my mouth is literally dropping
so many things...from him calling her shrek with a wig on
you dont think she looks a mess in her "blonde!" wigs?
im not super familiar with OG
But some of the language he's using is suspect
And for him to sit up and tell black women when and when they aren't actually victims or colorism is really not his place ... especially considering his platform
He's ultimately pushing the late and tired "it's not colorism ur just ugly" mess that a LOT of people use to dismiss black women when they speak on their plight
And it's disgusting
OG doesnt even know if shes a victim of it. She thinks that if youre darkskin, and you side with a lightskin (on whatever issue) over another darksin, that you're colorist.
from what i know from his vid, it seems that OG explicity stated that she felt they were not only colorists, but there were elements of featurism
featurism is real, and Funky is brushing it off as a non-issue. from what ive seen so far in the vid
the dark skinned woman who is assumed to be
mixed with black and "exotic" is many times NOT treated the same as the dark skinned unambiguously black woman.
they don't get the "ooooh ahhh! what are you ? what r u mixed with?
wow wow wow you're so intriguing to me!!
"
they get people assuming that them wearing their hair in its natural state is some form of political statement, among other things.
they reached out to Tatyana Ali to participate in that "light girls" documentary mess and when I first heard her share that info I was like wat?
she's brown. why are they asking her to be a part of that? goddess is light skinned now? i missed that memo.
but then she went on to explain they asked her because of her perceived "european influence" (their words not hers) and how that experience she had could be useful. and theres nothing european about tatyana to me either sdsdsd shes not givin me vanessa williams. but i get what they meant. referencing what they consider to be a mixed race appearance.
imma need him to thank just a bit further.
funky always came off as smart to me but he's really showing his ignorance. brushing off featurism, telling a black women "its not colorism u just ugly", as he references how a wig looks on her and makes her look like shrek.
just the fact that he's pushing this super harmful "u just ugly dassit" message alone is harmful. OG and her specific situation is the SMALLER picture here. and i hope people watching do NOT think he speaks for all gay black men as a whole.
if he wants to speak on something go show people how to be an elitist with bad credit, no assets and a lengthy eviction record. hes good at that. leave black women tf alone
