Flora Purim - That's What She Said

 What you know about this?

Alternative blackness..

 People like to say "Black people are NOT a monolith".... but there are things that TOO MANY people in the "black community" do that get on my last nerve, and the last thing  I wanna do is fit in! 

For instance, I almost watched some youtube rant video about the tv show, Insecure- which I never watched, I decided to read some of the comments and someone mentioned Awkward Black Girl, never watched that either, then some knucklehead responded and mentioned some nonsense about how ALL ADOS girls he grew up with were among other things- confident, funny, and could dress. Okay, what the HELL is "could dress" -see, that's the kind of crap I'm talking about, all of us don't dress the same(thank goodness) and those girls were probably always messing with somebody to destroy THEIR confidence. 

And another thing that I can't stand about my damn community is this constant multi-generational urge to call others corny. Last week, I was reading comments on a video that I don't wanna get into, but anyway some waste of space wrote that Michael Jackson got corny by the time the Pepsi commercial came out and that "we", the community were all laughing at his hair being burned. What kind of sadistic scum laughs at that?

And Michael Jackson or Prince, for that matter were NEVER corny, they were a lot more interesting and intelligent than most brothers I run into. Seems like to me, the people who usually get called corny are the ones who have the balls to be DIFFERENT.... sometimes things like love & romance & making the world a better place get called corny by the community.

Forget "decentering men" how about decentering the community!

Exactly....
