Hoodrat to Headwrap: A Decolonized Podcast

This is America: Black Cis Men Never Held Accountable for Selling Out Black Pain for White Pleasure


Listen Later

WHITE CIS MEN HAVE COMMITTED MORE MASS SHOOTINGS IN THE US THAN ANY OTHER GROUP...but I'm sleep.
Black people are murdered and it’s an idea for a storyboard for a rap music video without a trigger warning. Black people are not paying attention, while the world continues to kill us. We only pay attention when black cis men tell us to. Listen to them. Black cis men know what we need. And we should listen. They are geniuses. They win Pulitzers for their music without having to reckon with the misogynoir conveniently overlooked to get them there. And slavery was a choice. But, just hear him out. And he’s the King so he doesn’t give head. But he is not really Black, so it’s different. We spend hours talking through our pain from being re-traumatized and he “just wanted to make good music”.
He could care less that people actually died. But but they are just destroying a Black man’s legacy.
He got his money
And will continue to
And we will sit by and watch him dance
On the tv
Never at a rally
And keep giving him money for the value of his meta distraction
We get tired of calling him in
He doesn’t listen
Why talk. He’s talking. Just let him speak!
Just a body on his way to fame
To the white girl across the room
We are just a body
To be used
At the cookout on 4th of July
At his leisure
Our pain is a joke
And a moment,
Not happening all the time.
Join us for another episode of Hoodrat to Headwrap as we distract you from black cis men centering whiteness again (are you entertained?).
