beyond that, i really think that as a group we need to let go of the "white is right" mentality. we need to stop trying to get accepted by them. we need to get our educations, put in work, and bring our talent back to the black community. they will never truly accept us. **** the grammy's, **** these white CEOs and ****. they'll let us in if we kick and scream enough but they don't want us. they don't care about us. stop giving your talent away to them and stop seeking their approval.
the only thing whites are good for atm is education. i am not a fan of most HBCUs (besides howard/spelman/morehouse/FAMU/etc.) for a lot of complicated reasons. i think to COMPETE with white/asian/latino businesses we need to be in the best shape possible. a company filled with HBCU degrees will get looked over with the quickness no matter how good it is. i'm going to a PWI, making my connections, getting my internships done, and using all of that **** to better the black community. i'm interested in media and i want to create a production company for black music videos, television, short films, etc. of QUALITY. i also want to direct/produce various projects but that's more of a 20's/early 30's job i suppose  |
Lemme star in one of your films. I have the chops.
Or, let me persuade you on that casting couch.

No, but really, that's amazing.

Her media coverage is white America imo I know what she is. Armenians are Central Eurasian, which technically makes them White.
However, since Armenian is so close to the Middle East, many of them mixed with Middle Eastern people over the years, which is where the exotic physical apprearance of Armenians come from .

i would be so happy. unfortunately BET is run by white people and coons so that will never happen  they'd rather highlight ****ery than encourage a night of starpower and celebration
