Woke up, still obsessed with Sinners.
Seriously, if you ever wanted to ask/wondered:
What and why our music means so much to the Black community, the roots from the past to the present
Why it's so deeply insulting to deal with the cultural appropriation and disrespect of Black music, given the depth of that meaning
How we use language, history, and context to determine when somebody ain't kinfolk despite pretending
How you might be allowed to forget that you're white, but we aren't allowed to forget that you're white, and that frames our interactions with you
How your allyship can fall oh so uselessly flat, no matter how well intentioned you may be, if you refuse to understand your position within the game
Why what scares you as fantastical is often a living nightmare for people of color, and how that history and social context can weave a horror story that hits close to home (I have a whole lesson on that!)
And more, go watch that movie 🙏🏾
watching nana and coloring in panels to match the show. it looks way better with the manga lineart imo
and pop culture is still so much fun. especially when comics and books get adapted into shows and movies. watching them and cross referencing with the source material, then seeing how well/poorly the source material was translated.
ma'am
