In honor of Laur & Lillee taking accountability (sort of :/ ) I’m gonna listen to the podcast before it gets deleted because the curiousity will kill me if I don’t. aaaand i’ll be live tweeting my thoughts to no one in particular bc my acc is dead but anYWAYS....
Ok so I’m like 2 minutes in & they’re already saying some bullshit..... “People are misusing the term. They think they’re intelligent, they’re not” If ur talking about a sensitive topic don’t talk down on people 🙃
Hi im taking breaks for my own sanity so excuse the long pauses in between tweets 😂
“...back in the 20s& 30s it was appropriate for white people to paint their faces black that were in entertainment because there weren’t a lot of black actors in fact there were barely any” it was never acceptable to do blackface racist white people just didn’t give a fuck lol
“but that’s because they weren’t allowed to get the chance” ⭐️ gold star for u Lillee “which is hysterical because here you are with these white people not trying to mock them but mocking them really” that’s the entire point of black face ??? They over exaggerated black features+
to make fun of black people because they considered them to be inferior..... I’m shocked she said that without hesitating & didn’t think it through like.... please just.... don’t. Just shut up you sound so ignorant.
“well actually they were mocking them” I can’t believe im saying this but uhhhh.... thank you Laur.......
“isn’t it such a joke that we have all these white people painting their skin this color & yet literally imitating the one thing they’re trying to be nasty towards” um.... maybe don’t laugh while talking about such a sensitive topic for an entire group of people....
“OMG guys i am so sorry we have our purr baby coming in she is so passionate about this. She’s passionate about this ‘cause she is indeed a black woman & she feels very um upset by people right now” once again, don’t make jokes about your black cat while speaking about black face
this is so disgusting. Never in a million years would i start making jokes & laughing while discussing such a sensitive topic..... I can’t believe Laur being a grown adult in the room didn’t stop her immediately & just let her keep going. EW.
“Silky is a black burmese cat& she has a lot to say about this because there are a lot of cats out there that are trying to impersonate her especially on halloween& oh my purr she has been so mad about this” ..i am speechless. I don’t know how to react to this. Laur said this btw
“since we’re talking about this silky was sent back a lot of times [redacted] she was sent back a lot of times because people only wanted her for halloween & then they’d send her back. so I guess we can kinda relate this to the black face because people only wanted... (continued)
to be black face when they wanted to be. & then they were like buh bye. but it’s like it’s horrible but alright we’re using this point & i noticed on instagram just as an example a lot of people use black face not correctly for example you have make up artists who (continued)
want to look more bronzed. Maybe Rihanna did an amazing y’know red carpet appearance & her make up artist did a great look on her ok. & the make up artist wants to look more like Rihanna so they use a darker foundation. (continued)
How is that blackface? That to me is saying ‘I love Rihanna’ to me that is in a way appreciation” It’s blackface because you can recreate the exact same eyeshadow look & face make up without changing your own skin tone. The second that you go several shades darker than your+
own skintone to look like a black person when your skin is white it’s black face. You don’t have to change your skin to recreate eyeshadow, contour, blush, highlight, etc. how is this even a question Lillee???? You can appreciate a black queen like Rihanna without doing blackface
“I think the intent is good” IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. DONT MAKE YOUR SKIN DARKER IF YOURE NOT BLACK. PERIOD.
1-2 shades darker to appear tanned / bronzed is fine. But going from white to being the same skin tone or darker than a black person ISNT FUCKING OKAY.
“I think the main problem here is that people think they’re intelligent. Sorry folks, they think they’re intelligent, they’re not intelligent um they misuse the wording. They do not understand truly what it means & therefore it’s causing this whole fragmented society (continued)
that’s... by the way how do you think these white supremacists maintain themselves? Through the hate, through the ridiculousness, through their ignorance” LAUR OH MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP FFS... here’s the definition of both so you realize how stupid you sound.
imagine being a privileged white woman telling black people (or any minorities) how to react when other white people are appropriating their cultures 🥴🥴 can’t fucking relate.
BTW, i am only 5 minutes & 31 seconds in on a 40-something minute podcast.... & y’all can see how fucking long this thread is because the stupid shit keeps coming out of their mouths 🥴 im gonna rip all my hair out this is so frustrating to listen to oh my GOD.
it’s also like 2:40am here & i regret my decisions but also i rlly need to hear this whole thing bc idk when it’s gonna be deleted AAAAAAAA
