It’s cool if they want to defend Issa Rae’s chapter, the discourse is good, but why in such a tacky bad faith way all the time?

She is being paid by white people to write for a huge publication that people of all races read and what does she do with that platform. Traffic in awful stereotypes about black men and “educate” the good white folk on how they are ticking time bombs, the next Elliot Rodgers

First off, why is everyone they don’t disagree with automatically a “hotep?” Why is this even a title on an article at a serious mainstream publication?pic.twitter.com/xYfL5lo5BB

Well let’s dig into the article. I’m sure the journalism is going to be hard hitting and objective and give an exhaustive good faith listing of all the various critical angles, good and bad, and take the time to list convincing defenses to all of them

Just kidding. She doesn’t post the actual page so you can’t see the attack on black male intelligence, the insult to Filipinos by calling them trash due to having greater proximity to black than other Asians, and several other offensive things. She just says “for some reason”pic.twitter.com/vZIiqEBgci

Also weird social engineering angle of Asians (except those black Bell Curve styles dumb Filipinos) being ideally suited to mate with high IQ black women, Rae’s implication that uneducated black women must not therefore be eligible to date high quality Asians under her program

Nope, people were just made “for some reason.” Also, I won’t bother to include the page so you can judge for yourself. But trust me, I’ll just characterize it as “funny, honest, fairly anodyne” for youpic.twitter.com/1drwEzScTY

But you know what? Maybe I’m being unfair. Maybe he really was insanely out of pocket in what he tweeted to that the masses including non blacks needed to be warned he and by implication all straight black men who aren’t intersectional are potential Elliot Rodgers.

He makes clear he has no problem with black women dating asian men and makes clear he is specifically insulted by the implied slam on Black men’s intelligence level compared to black women and Asian menpic.twitter.com/kTGHuwIUZn

Okay but maybe he said some really nasty things about black women in response. After all we know two wrongs don’t make a right. Oh wait...he said he loves them and took BM who degrade them to task and called for gender unitypic.twitter.com/InHNLoqYkc

Exactly. The only thing she offers is a response to that straw man using that flawed OK Cupid study...again, not even what anyone was offended abouthttps://twitter.com/handleofry/status/991434385881788419?s=21 …

Well even if it was a misunderstanding I’m sure she didn’t use this simple mistake to extrapolate into an insane line of reasoning rife with white supremacist tropes about black men right? Oh waitpic.twitter.com/um19PXQRIG

Here’s the whole article to see it in context. Although based on what I saw I her piece that’s supposed to be bad journalismhttps://theundefeated.com/whhw/how-do-you-solve-a-problem-like-hoteps/ …

But you know what, the guy reached out super respectfully, showing he was hurt and offended that he specifically along with straight black men at larger were being made a poster child for incel mass shootings. Anyone can make a mistake. Hopefully she realized she was wrong?pic.twitter.com/mK5w8SHGVK

Also not that she has SEVENTEEN LINKS in such a short article, all to stuff that helps bolster her point about black men being a threat to society. But the TWO MOST BASIC LINKS, Issa Rae’s pages and his original thread in context, she somehow omits. Cuz they undermine her piece

What’s funniest about this is the main premise of the piece is that black men (1) lie about what Black women say to critique them out of context and (2) are obsessed with sowing black gender division. Yet she did that. These people constantly project what they do on others.

Keep in mind this is intended for a mixed audience. It’s actually in the text of the piece. She explicitly says it (“it” being the misogynoir of straight black men) is everyone’s problem so it’s “up to all of us” to “push back against” straight black menpic.twitter.com/UnvL0XfnCT

Let’s get this straight. She *ends* with a call for unity of black women and everyone reading against the scourge of the phyical threat black men pose. That they’re *everyone’s* problem

This is not some conversation piece being kept in-house in the black community. This is a piece aimed outside of it. The propaganda’s message is the same as DW Griffith’s Birth of a Nation, except with black women depicfted as being on the white people’s team this time

These people are cultural translators and negro whisperers who exists to ingratiate themselves to white people. This is their sole purpose and skill. When they try to talk to black people as black people they sbow they don’t even get the culture they’re supposedly translating

Look what happened when this same author tried to discuss A Different World, a beloved show in the Black community. Black people clowned her all day for getting it all wrongpic.twitter.com/bh6ueB2lbO

She can speak more accurately on Lindy West, Jessica Valenti, Amanda Marcotte, and Amanda Hess than she can on a Different World because that’s her real expertise and connection and who she has to ingratiate to for her supper. White women, not black people.
