'I don’t think this is a question of asking Black media to be less 'honest'... I think this is about examining the types of narratives that get fed on platforms and interrogating who we give voice to within those spaces.' — tayobero
about survivors of rape who sue their abusers, saying that it’s all about money for those victims and comparing the act to sex work.
There’s an assumption that any conversation about holding Black media accountable to their depictions of Blackness is about respectability politics. And although this issue is inextricably linked to our own cultural visibility and a growing awareness of how we are perceived by others, that really isn’t the crux of the matter: I don’t think this is a question of asking Black media to be less “honest” or to bow to the pressures of a white-washed world. I think this is about examining the types of narratives that get fed on those platforms and interrogating who we give voice to within those spaces.
So, does Black media need to report differently? Absolutely. But in a way that keeps us accountable to our most thoughtful and informed selves, and not to whiteness. People like Charlamagne tha god, Remy Ma, and others also have a duty not just to show up and sit in the chair, but to apply nuance and thoughtfulness to how we talk about ourselves.
