#drama reminds me a lot of when “Breadtube” kinda imploded in on itself

I have to talk about this somewhere and I choose my tumblr lol because I don't make tiktok videos. All of the Black leftists I followed on tiktok for the past 4 years have suddenly decided to unmask themselves as Misogynists and people who cape for white validation and allow anti-blackness in their comment sections.

Essentially a week ago this one girl named Hannah (who, for context is Biracial with a black grandfather) said that Beyonce's performance was American propaganda, and that she didn't like that Beyonce was waving the American flag and using american imagery during her performance. A lot of southern black people came in to explain to Han (not even in a rude manner) that the american flag, and by extension the whole album that Beyonce made, isn't about nationalistic pride but about reclaiming a lost identity and seat at southern american culture.

What ensued after this however, were multiple black "leftists" immediately jumping to 'defend" Han from any sort of criticism at all. And the arguments that happened because of this ranged from "Black people don't know what the word 'Propaganda' means." to "Black people can't relate to Beyonce because most of them are poor" (Said by a White lady who really had no business even speaking on something like this)

One black woman who disagreed with Han's statement said that "Because she suckled from the teat of her oppressor she shouldn't be leading talks about something like this anyways" (lol)

And then all hell broke loose, all the black "leftists" immediately started to attack this black lady short of just calling her uppity and the n-slur and one person said it was "the worst thing he'd ever heard anyone say to anyone ever" (it's most definitely not the worst thing)

And now these black "leftists" are taking turns attacking another black woman because one man (who is black as well) is upset since she seemingly had the audacity to respond back to him in any kind of disapproving tone. The black lady made a video to him saying "hey I understand you may not agree with what I have said, and that doesn't bother me. But I have noticed that your fans are very volatile, anti black, and mysoginistic so I'd hope you'd be more mindful in the future before you make more videos about me since you could still send harassment my way anyways. And saying 'No hate to this creator!' in the beginning isn't really grounds for protecting me against said hate."

And he and all of his friends are currently gaslighting the hell out of her, and making it seem like she's "crazy" and "Mentally unwell" (ableist language they have all used talking about her mind you, these are people who supposedly stand against all kinds of bigotry apparently, but not when it comes to black women who disagree with them I guess)

And I guess the reason I even am making this post is because I feel like I have entered an alternate universe where all the black leftist creators I follow are revealed to be secretly awful people. I keep scrolling thinking "surely this creator i've followed for years and who has seemed reasonable in their opinions won't unmask themselves as a mysoginist to own one woman" but nope I am sorely disappointed each time. I've blocked so many people on that app, and it feels kinda wild that when the app is going to be banned THAT'S when I am shown how truly bigoted all the ppl I followed really were.
