a thread of anti-Black idols and groups from a Black person:
disclaimer: i will try not to include groups/ people that have genuinely apologized and like that obviously show remorse for their actions but a lot of the people who have apologized are insincere and then continue their anti-Black behavior without doing anything to fix it
also i will try and include receipts and stuff and don’t reply, please quote instead
our first contender for the ant-Blackness award is Wendy. Although I love and support the rest of RV, she keeps doing this time and time again. She especially has no excuse since she went to school in Canada
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the caricurization of Black people is extremely harmful and links back to the Jim Crow era. Although I don’t think she knows how deep this issue runs she DEFINITELY knows better and should do better
Our second contender is Gfriend. Ik this was a while ago and was a relatively minor infraction but this microagression was super hurtful especially because of the cultural significance behind locs
Third we have Mamamoo. Yes ik they apologized but I don’t know how you can have racist incidents happen MULTIPLE racist incidents and not take any responsibility. Like even if nacer did change the lyrics that one time she still sang it?
also ik they were trying to impersonate Bruno Mars and apparently he’s a non-Black latinx person but let’s be honest we all thought he was Blakc for a moment there and it’s still brown face
i love twice but i hate that this was never addressed at all and would appreciate an apology for the use of such a hurtful word
i’ll continue this later i’m just preoccupied w everything that’s going on since i’m from la
chen from exo and also kai for constantly having dreads while we’re at it ( i can’t include every idol w dreads or braids on here but just know they’re all cancelled for me personally) but yeah chen really crossed the line w this and the kunta kinte comment
don’t try to tell me, a Black person, how to feel i could care less of u disagree and this is cleary all just my opinion and it’s not like i’m ending anyone’s careers so chill
there’s also gdragon but big bang is already dead so i don’t see the point of that
