Jorja Smith is another one man, she’s just outstandingly beautiful!
Kamie Crawford is the one right now who I really have a thing for (and I’m not usually one to have celebrity crushes but this is as good as it gets). Near perfection.
Dark skin [women] shaving their head expecting to look like Amber Rose, when really they end up looking like Michael Jordan’
But it genuinely came from a place where she believes light skin women are superior to dark skin women and it fit the narrative at the time.
Colourism is rife unfortunately and I don’t wanna give her a pass for it just because she’s sexy. Yeah she was definitely younger and stupid but I think she old enough to know she was demeaning black women.
If you look at her in vacuum I think she’s really cute no doubt but in the real world I have an unfounded dislike for her, haven’t really given it the time of the day to figure out why
Yeah she’s married to some crazy Israeli billionaire and she was in that terrible Imagine video but is there anything else she’s done you don’t like her for?
It goes for a lot of celebs/politicians/footballers, in fact. I believe they all have the cerebral capacity to know what they’re typing and publically displaying. There is a thought process behind that. I’m more likely to forgive them for a verbal racist/sexist/downright offensive faux pas than a written one
I’d agree of she’d written an article for a publication to express the sentiment, but I think the reality is that no more thought would have gone into that tweet than would have gone into it if she’d said it out loud. Not sure I’d personally draw much of a distinction there in terms of being much more likely to forgive her if she said it out loud vs tweeted it.
Don’t get me wrong I understand what you’re saying, that if you write something you have the opportunity to reconsider what you’re about to post, perhaps differently to just blurting something out loud to someone in person the logic to that is clear. But I’m just not sure it’s how young people function online.
I wouldn’t particularly want to be held up with to a higher standard for stuff I’ve said online than stuff I’ve said in real life, and only speaking personally, I’d say I probably give far more consideration to my words and how they might be construed when interacting with people in real life compared to when I’m online.
