Being Black gives you a unique perspective on obviously, appealing to whichever a Black community you belong to,

But also,
how something white people think is perfectly fine?

Is actually racist or
has a racially connected history or
is just a Bad Look

if you want the Black consumer dollar or audience.
I’m watching a cartoon I love now and thought... why did the Latino boy have to be the one who stole the magazine.
I watched this episode 3 times in a row once, because something about it bothered me.
It works for the narrative if the white woman stole it. She could defend herself with knives. She had the least risk.
And another thing, just as a woman.

By no means is it universal but I got to a point in life that I will jump in and take the L when I know

- there’s no time
- there’s no other way to protect a child in my care but risk myself.
So her anticipating him or that they’d have to steal the magazine is way more aligned with how women I know think.

And it’s not that we’re morally superior.

It’s self preservation.
Plus it could act as foreboding for how dark her character gets.

It could read as white savior BS but that’s easy.

Change the race if her character.
And where are all the Black and Disabled people and why is the spoken lines favor the men so strongly.
Anyway SO WHEN WE SAY HIRE BLACK WOMEN BLACK MEN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND DISABLED PEOPLE AND PAN PEOPLE AND...,
Ugh make media make sense again. Hire us in significant numbers. You need our skills.

Not me, I don’t work in media.

Black people. Hire Black people.
Like y’all act like we get a cut of the check if you add more than 3% of marginalized people to your organization.
You don’t know what it’s like

to want to watch tv
to relax

and while your guard is down
and you’re trying to forget the racism

OH LOOK MORE RACISM SIDE OF ABLEISM.
This shit is nonstop.
Hire some Black people. Hire some Black people.

Stop pretending you can’t do that AND hire everyone else you greedy
Pigs.
