Instead of getting mad, I’m gonna educate. The reason Black Americans specifically do not like the big dancing gorilla dude and chicken boy is because they are performing minstrelsy. See below.

- Oh Fantasia honey. We got your OscarFaces Of Black America. Matilda Sissieretta Jones was an “internationally acclaimed Black opera singer.” She was the first Black-American singer to perform at Carnegie Hall.
- So Ben Affleck, AKA Big Boston, found out he was a direct descendant of the men and women that enslaved Black Americans on the tv show Finding Your Roots and got upset lmaoooooooo Baby what you thought??? You just achieved on your own?
- I was dumb young when Chris Rock went on Oprah and asked if she had a weave and stuck his hands in her hair. I also remember him referring to Beyoncé’s as Seabiscuit. He’s been obsessed with Jada forever. He has an obsession with humbling Black women in front of white audiences.
- Replying to @Lyn_thinksMinstrels in America were people in Blackface or a Black person with darkened makeup that acted like a fucking clown for the entertainment of white people. We are past that!!! Stop trying to take us back.
- Replying to @Jazrealpretty and @tasha__nicoWe are people with pride and respect for our ancestors mama. We don’t do weird disgraceful shit for a check.
- Replying to @AJSteinYo he sickens me for real. Like legit disturbs my spirit. He can’t be making that much money off this so he’s really doing it for the attention.
- Replying to @mondayOVRATEDGiiiiirrrlll !!! I almost threw my fucking phone. He need to be done with for real. This is so fucking degrading.
- Replying to @Lyn_thinksI’m gonna mute but I’ll just leave this here. To choose minstrelsy as your medium when you have the freedom to be anything is…Oh god no
- Replying to @w6stelandThis is some other level of hating 😂
- Replying to @Lyn_thinksIf you see these images or anything similar on social media and think anything close to “well what’s with performing and dancing for racist white audiences”, just please remove yourself from the lives of people with souls.
- I remember they went on BET and made fun of Black Americans and that was it for them 😂— the 90s girl group cleopatra had such beautiful black girls. look at those face cards! 💜💿👩🏾 ⋆˙✮
- Replying to @WrittenByHannaOmg. You can just tell he thinks he’s so smart and is insufferable in conversation
- And she literally smooth, supple and glowy. Them other two look ashen and withered.
