    What a racist thing to ask. The management at Coca Cola asked their employees to be less white. BLACK PEOPLE ARE FAR MORE RACIST THAN WHITE PEOPLE !!!!!

    I think what he said is obviously important, but I want to dig in with a little bit of nuance that there’s a fine line between not wanting to rehash stereotypes about black life but that sometimes turn into running away from one narrative into the opposite equally limiting direction. I don’t want a just Cosby stories anymore than I don’t just Boyz n the Hood stories. I want all the things in between, but I don’t want to denigrate either one of those extremes I mentioned before.

    The problem is that there are 50 hood movies and only 1 Cosby show and many complained that wasn’t real. There is no balance.

    Poor people have a very clear idea what it means to be a poor person, even though all the stories will differ. Making these words about skin color is RACIST by definition.

    But if a person who has never been poor is asking for a more poorer experience from a person who has been poor, one would have to ask what do they mean. All people have similar and different experiences in life.

    Another of example of trying to erase Black experience and history in America. Your statement is basically saying “I don’t see color” which is racist.
