#kevin hart reacts

[muffinsin]

Hey muffin, I hope your having a good day, getting ready for spooky season!

How would the dimitrescu sisters react to reader dressing up and acting like them, like that one kevin hart and the rock "trick or treat" audio 😭 can you make it a meme reaction too?

I actually don’t know that meme XP I think they’d all be mildly or, in Dani’s case very-, amused by it

I’ve actually got 3 Halloween posts planned for the next days already though, so it’s unlikely I’ll write Halloween themed things after October’s done :)🙌 I might write 1-2 if there’s one in my inbox still, though👻

Am i in the wrong for thinking it’s weird my bf that’s 32 yrs old still turns away when two men kiss on a tv show or whatever? Like every time it’s something remotely romantic/sexual between two men he reacts, like he’ll exclaim, turns his head away. And then say it makes him extremely uncomfortable to see. There’s been so many times, that what I want to watch we never end up watching. It’s always something I know he’ll be okay with which is old black movies eddy murphy Kevin hart Tyler Perry type stuff. Like how can it be so bad to see two men kiss for five seconds to the point of him asking can we not watch this anymore

This is quite literally textbook homophobia and fragile masculinity lmao you either gotta drag him enough he changes or leave if you don’t align babe. This is like middle school level antics at his big age.

Misrepresentations of Egypt(ians) in the Media

Afrocentrist narratives misrepresent Egypt and Egyptians in Pop-Culture despite ample scientific and historical evidence that prove those narratives wrong. 

This blog attempts to investigate the mechanisms and agendas of how Afrocentrist narratives and relevant ethnic and racial misrepresentation of Ancient Egyptians manifest in the various forms of multimodal digital media and pop-culture, from an Egyptian perspective. It also aims to delineate the repercussions of Afrocentrism on the history and heritage of both: Egypt and Sub-Saharan African nations, mainly to prove that Afrocentrism only ensures the spread of racist hate speech towards Northern Africans whose skin is not black rather than celebrate the greatness of the long shunned Sub-Saharan African heritage. Afrocentrism should be about reviving the tribal heritage the Black peoples of Africa instead of claiming credit for other nations’ history. This paper will basically criticize the pseudohistorical Afrocentric narrative that is advertised in Pop-Culture, official museum displays of defaced replica of Ancient Egyptian statues to have Sub-Saharan features, as well as theatrical and cinematic normalization of the image of Ancient Egyptians played by Black actors. The results of the ongoing Afrocentric (social) media campaign can only fuel socio- and geopolitical conflict among the peoples of Africa as well as further bury the Sub-Saharan precolonial heritage by only focusing on falsely proving their ownership of Ancient Egyptian accomplishments.

Since the 1970s, Afrocentricity/Afrocentrism has been around, defying logic, history, and science. Yet, somehow this culturally-appropriating narrative has found its way out of the founding academic papers into a lot of recent media productions such as: Netflix’s 2023 ‘documentary’ “Cleopatra” in which the Macedonian-Egyptian Queen and other Egyptian characters are portrayed Black, to which Egyptians reacted in a social media campaign to defend the attempt to blackwash their history through falsifying information that definitely arise from an agenda. This Afrocentric belief is advertised by celebrities, like Michael Jackson in his music video “Remember the Time” in the 1970s; Beyoncé and Rihanna who portrayed Queen Nefertiti in a Dutch museum and on Vogue cover respectively (Yee), in 2023; as well as Kevin Hart who supported a group of animators on the TV program “Shark Tank”, granting the team Black Sands Entertainment around $500,000 to promote Afrocentrism through Anime and Comics, resulting in an online backlash from Egyptians under the hashtag #CancelKevinHartShow that led to taking down his stand-up comedy show that was scheduled to take place in February – also in 2023 (Nowar). It is worth mentioning that the academic world as well is still actively pushing for Afrocentric ideology, as a group of African American professors had planned the One Africa Conference in February 2022 to take place in Aswan, and the Egyptians reacted with the hashtag #stopafrocentricconference, and it was indeed taken down (Aidi). 

Hence, the movement is currently celebrated by a lot of Black people, especially African Americans, who engage in online campaigns, supporting the spread of the false Afrocentric beliefs promoted in popular media, especially in the last couple of years. In resistance, the Egyptians are launching awareness campaigns and resisting any potential promotion of the Afrocentric theory, counter-arguing with factual evidence. The author of this paper is just one more Egyptian who is adding to the corpus of Anti-Afrocentric dialogue in an attempt to academically refute the Afrocentric allegations against the Egyptians as the rightful heirs to their ancestor’s legacy, highlighting the jeopardies of falsifying history for both, Sub-Saharan and Egyptian heritages, as well as the underlying malicious agendas fueling the Afrocentric racist discourse.

Data Collection/Analysis Methods

Since this research is focused on analyzing the misrepresentations of Ancient Egyptian heritage in pop-culture, particularly social media posts and media productions, the primary resources would be materials collected from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, as well as some media productions, like the abovementioned works. Also, less popular productions, like Anthony and Cleopatra which presented by The National Theatre of Britain in 2018 in which all the Egyptian character, including Cleopatra, were portrayed by black actors. Some secondary resources would include newspaper reports and social media conflicts. To illustrate, Netflix’s mini-series “Cleopatra” (2023) received its fair share of criticism until its genre was officially changed from ‘documentary’ to ‘fictionalized’ story, with some Egyptian lawyers suing Netflix for the falsification of history, while the mini-series received a terribly low rate on IMDB and other platforms. Meanwhile, Afrocentrics were reactive on social media, defending their beliefs and cheering for the latest Cleopatra, supporting their argument with nothing more than photos from their trips to Egypt, posing with the monuments, and writing captions that explicitly denote that they are “back home”, following the steps of famous celebrities who also do this. In another backlash, Egyptians started spreading cultural awareness about the Egyptian identity in an unprecedented enthusiasm to promote a stronger sense of identity and educate their social circles about the dangers of the Afrocentric beliefs and the importance of standing up for our culture on (social) media. All of these social media interactions can serve as a well of resources to study the phenomenon in question.

P.S. A random social media user once commented: "Egyptians can't have been black. They used black eyeliner and it was easy to see, unlike the actress who had to put a ton of golden glitter and blue outline for the outliner to be that visible!"

[deltamusings]

It takes a lot of arrogance to say things like “only God can cancel me” while at the same time promoting consequences for others who say things you don’t like.  That’s just plain juvenile.  Statement like those prove the left isn’t after equality.  The left spits on equality.  They can’t handle it.  The left has to be worshipped.  It’s demonic.

random thought of the day, i want to be a good storyteller. i know that being "interesting" is quite subjective. these people might find me interesting, some won't. but i know for a damn fact that i carry a lot of good funny stories but i do not deliver them well.

Read a bunch of short stories, listen to comedians that tell jokes in form of short stories, listen to podcasts where people tell stories to get a feel of the different kinds of storytelling. Try to analyze them, when they introduce characters, how they do it, how long they devote to introduction and so on.

Then decide on a few of stories and telling them to different groups and see how they react. You'll get the feel of it and be able to do it more spontaneous.

He’d told me there was a possibility they’d get divorced but I thought he was just speaking for himself. I thought they would stay together and be miserable with each other for the sake of their baby. She DEFINITELY had other plans!!! Ha ha!!!

Whatever the case, I really want to know what it is she saw in him that made her cut out so quick. He hasn’t been forthcoming with her side of the story but he’s acknowledged that he could have done some things better during their marriage.

lol maaaaaan…

He also suspects that she’s been provoking him, physically, to get him to react violently so she can build a case against him and take all their assets. 😂😂😂 Shrewd. But he never fought her back when she attacked him. But she did make police reports, saying that she felt unsafe with him. This is all hilarious but kind of sad that their marriage fell apart.

Anyway, I’m in still in shock. When I spoke to him the other day, he mentioned NONE of this even though he told me today that she moved out last week!

The tea is hot. I’m on the the phone with him doing a Kevin Hart like, “Whuuuuut!? She printed the paper out the fax machine!? Thas crazy…” (see his old standup if you haven’t yet!).

Y’all ain’t gonna believe this…

Derrick’s wife is leaving him. Based on what he’s telling me now, it sounds like she’s been planning to leave him for a while. She actually moved her stuff out already.

I’m mothaf*ckin’ shocked. 😂😂😂

I’m just worried about how this is going to change our relationship. He gon’ be out there dating and I’m worried that he won’t need to pay to see me anymore … That part is what’s freaking me out. THAT part of all this is shitty.

But, yeah… 👀🍿
