Lol tumblr just straight up deleted my reblog of the ttpd ad they've shown me 10x promoting the line "one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen" because I pointed out the misogyny and and hypocrisy considering her album is about her being ~*tempted*~ 🙄 by a guy* and then leaving her boyfriend for him. Mother must not be criticized!

*I'd call Matty something, but there's no male equivalent to the word "temptress" with the same connotations and shaming power. Hmm, what does that tell us?

I think a lot of what's currently informing my fellow white people curdling like milk and shitting their pants when asked to interrogate their relationship with rap is the way many people (especially well-meaning white people) still can't help but think of racism as something that you get accused of rather than something that influences the entire world in pernicious ways.

like, I think a lot of people currently posting the most cringe takes about rap right now would very much agree that Racism Is Bad and probably even acknowledge that rap has been and is still widely maligned and devalues for racist reasons.

but that last step, acknowledging that your personal tastes and interests are also influenced by systemic racism, is where a LOT of people stumble. it's very easy to assume that because you consider yourself against racism, then your tastes and interests cannot possibly be at all informed by racist. if you're a white American, that's simply extremely unlikely to be true.

speaking from personal experience, I had to Work to decenter whiteness in my media tastes. when I was like 19 I listened to a podcast where a white Jewish man talked about keeping a spreadsheet of the books he read to make sure he was reading a roughly equal number of men and women, and I started doing the same thing to track how many authors of color I was reading. at the time I took pride in my belief that I was reading diversely, but when the year ended I was shocked to discover that people of color had written barely a quarter of the books I'd read. I had been giving myself way too much credit while still unintentionally prioritizing white authors, because white authors were the ones I knew best. so I started making an extremely conscious effort to seek out books by authors of color, both fiction and nonfiction, that sounded like my kind of shit.

music was extremely similar. I grew up a little white girl in a very white city in a very white state; nobody was offering me an education in rap or r&b or soul or hip hop. as an young adult there were definitely some Black artists I liked, like Janelle Monáe, but I had to take the initiative of seeking out more artists to find out who I fuck with. you're not going to like everybody, which is fine, but are you even giving anyone a chance? are you even looking?

racism has roots everywhere, bro. it's not enough to just acknowledge it, you have to actively get digging.

Wissam Hamada, the mother of Hind Rajab, whose legacy continues to inspire movements worldwide, despite her tragic passing expresses her profound grief mixed with pride as her daughter's name now resonates at institutions like Columbia University. She calls on the world to continue protesting so that children like Hind could be spared what Hind had gone through.

Social media users have launched “Operation Blockout” to mass block high-profile celebrities and influencers who have not used their platform to shed light on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and advocate for a ceasefire.

“These people have all the opportunity to make change in this world and instead of using their platform to talk about shit that matters, they use it to make themselves money. That’s it. Fuck ‘em. Block ‘em,” said one user on TikTok.

Some users are posting their daily block list on social media using the hashtags #blockout or #blockout2o24
