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.
