It's neither good nor normal.

Again, WHAT are you talking about? I have never claimed white privilege as the reason he fell out of the critics graces Aaljsdlajsd. I've literally stated numerous times that him beating Frih (like the trash she is) was, obviously, the reason why the critics don't use as much (it just happens to be the WHITE critics and WHITE media). It has nothing to do with "white privilege". I don't even say that term
I think it's more contradictory that an AFRICAN person who should be more familiar with African traditions, etc is trying to accuse a black woman of blackface (and should know better). The fact that you are referring to them painting her with traditional african tribal makeup as "trying to darken her face" is laughable in itself. They didn't paint her brown to make her darker, they were painting her in tribal paint. There is a huge difference. I would expect an ignorant white person to not understand this but a black person? A black person who literally lives in Africa? Mess.
