people are so upset because noname pointed out that there are africans suffering under american imperialism. they turned it into why does beyoncé have to show africans in poverty? there’s so much to unpack there yikes

all black people are suffering under american imperialism. every single one.

why the moral outrage about naming that? why are we conflating imperialism with poverty? why is it bad to name that there are poor africans? there’s a lot of classism that comes with celebrity worship cause otherwise how else can you justify your idols wealth.

noname isn’t the enemy though, imperialism is and the way people are engaging with her over a simple tweet is giving misogynoir, is giving colorism and it’s honestly vile.

I hope she is offline & taking care of herself.
