dear nonblack ppl,

not every piece of media in existence has to become about You yk. you can engage with things created by black folks and not try to spin or parody it to make it more generally relatable yk. you can appreciate the bits of culture black folks choose to share without memeifying it yk. you can just engage with the art as it is and cope with not being the target audience while still enjoying it yk. you don't have to make black culture a joke to engage with it yk.

#ok to rb #something something the memeification of black culture is a scurge #bunny rambles #and b4 anyone goes “ohhhhh its just a joke its just for laughs its just silly” yeah i know. ik its a joke to you #and its really probably small potatoes at the end of the day but also. Every Fucking Major Piece of black media (ESPPP music) gets parodied #and memeified even if its not a fun cute song but like. songs about trauma and the pain of being black #something something why do you think its inherently funny to meme black artists work specifically #makes me think of that post talking ab how many meme scratch edit screenshot type things are from posts where black folks have shared like.#real shit or have been vulnerable or were simply Posing and then became a joke image #thinking about how many black folks simply Arent credited for their work and contributions #thinking about the fact that ive met a terrifying am of white ppl who prefer white parodies of black music > the original songs and think #Nothing Of It. idk. its just exhausting to see and ik black folks are even more exhausted #this is bc of the doechii denial is a river parodies yes but also nasty girl and the phrase match my freak and the way aave is constantly #being memeified & the way black TV is ignored unless its to laugh At & the way black art is ignored unless its Consumable enough and and and
