People do and will tear apart a Black creator's work and rip it to utter pieces on the smallest mishap and give passes to everyone else and, hell, the Black creator in question doesn't even have to mess up for that to happen. It's very scary being a Black creative.

It's because the entire world functions on the insidious antiblack belief that Black people are INCAPABLE of being creative. Not only are we incapable of being creative, but it's seen as a massive injustice that Black people get any opportunities at all, creatively.

"why did this Black person get to publish a book, Black people can't read or write, Black people aren't good at anything" - this is a frequent thought nonblack people carry with them. It's the envy, it's the antiblackness they were taught, they believe this is how the world works

It's an act of bravery, in and of itself, for a Black person to create. It takes even more bravery to create AND show it to the world, because the world is vicious, and unkind, and nasty, and unmerciful, and cold towards us and our creativity. We are denied it, at every turn.

For every creative Black person you see succeeding right now, just know there is an ONSLAUGHT of bs they're having to endure, even if you don't see it. They're extremely strong because they have to be, because the world is like this, because "Black people can't create".
