Black male creative genius & understanding doesn't extend to us.
For all the understanding & humanity men extend to their BM characters they can't for BW
We are not a part of the fantasy. The vision.
Black men despise black women and it's plain as day in the media they produce

And I'm serious abt this.
I've tried to enjoy black media before if only for the representation but it's always the same with these kneegrows.
Men like Jordan Peele, 50 cent, Childish Gambino & Lee Daniels are all critically acclaimed for the black media they produce.

But every single time, without fail, they always fuck over the black women in these shows while simultaneously uplifting the lightskin & non black women.
It's either that or they exclude us all together.
U see it in lovecraft with Ruby & Leticia. In 'Cookie' & Anika on Empire

You see it in the way 'Ghost' from 'Power' regularly cheats on his wife with non black, spicy Latina 'Angela Valdez' who is working to put him in jail.
So much so that he cuts her out of the will and abuses her. The mother of his children. Partner in both life & crime

It's in the way Childish Gambino made the conscious choice to not represent black women in his show PERIODT.
How his baby mama in the show is played by Zazie Beetz, a biracial actress and beyond her?
There are absolutely NO women, let alone black women, on the show.

What I'm trying to say is, while we're always happy and focused on how white media and white creativity have both failed, excluded and fucked us over, where is that same energy for black media?
Where is that same energy for the black media produced & ran by black men?
