We, Black people, yes. Major society (as in everyone in the country), no. Literally had her in “ghetto” “auntie” roles majority of her career.https://twitter.com/MacAndCheeks/status/1135959543492567040 …
And you are misconstruing me saying they are forced into undesirable roles with them being unattractive. That’s not what was said. I never said they are unattractive.

But the beginning of your tweet said that society is not seeing many of these women as attractive. I assumed the list of women was piggybacking on that.

The majority of society is not all of society especially seeing how we in the black community obviously see them as attractive. But they are forced into unattractive roles that play to what we are discussing which is the point I’m making.

Eh, white ppl will always white. They think Beyonce is ugly too. I think this convo should be strictly about our experiences. The mammy stereotype existed long before the internet so I take issue with AAVE being the blame for actresses taking these roles when the real issue has

Well it’s 2019 so we don’t use those those terms and white folk created/employed them. It would be nice to think of our culture as a safe bubble in which we can be free but it’s not and that’s why these discussions are important. Our individual black experience is not the only.

All of that is fine, but we were raised to say Miss or Mr because it's respectful so I don't expect the vast majority to abandon their manners with the hopes of having white people view us better lol

Miss, Mrs, Ms, Mr is completely different than assigning a role to someone you’re not sure wants to assume it. That’s literally all people are saying. All those are honorifics and they represent respect, not necessarily endearment in the way we would use aunty for black women.

Nah, she said don't call her Miss either LMFAO.

Now on that she’s big bugging because it’s literally void of emotions
