It’s wierd seing racially ambiguous women (that casually chose to ID as black) (key word chose) pose with black features & aesthetics and gain wayyyyy more recognition, success than the actual black women(.) that created that aesthetic
Like I’m just sitting here thinking about how certain genres of music are being .. i don’t wanna say white washed cuz they’re not white.. but light skin washed? Bc these racially ambiguous faces are now the face of them.. it’s very enraging. It’s not fair! It’s not right!
bc of this dilution of the industry, black music genres are seen as more acceptable to the masses. While racially ambiguous people now represent them 🤔 Meanwhile, the actuality of it is super diluted from it’s originality and lacking in quality.
This isn’t anything new. We’ve seen it time and time again with different Black music genres through out the US and Diaspora ok! Talk about Rock and Roll, talk about House music, talk about Reggaeton! All of these BLK genres that were popularized and accepted by society
Once non-black faces represented them. And yes, you could argue that Afro-Latinos represent Reggaeton now but remember that the creators of that genre were not racially ambiguous at all and because of that they were openly discouraged from representing that genre.
The genre that THEY created. Can you believe that? unfortunately that’s the world that we live in.
Plz excuse the disorganization of this thread. I really like like to go off in the right manner but it’s 4:30 am and I’m tied. Lol.
