ICONnet’s discography really covers all bases…you want synth driven industrial club anthems? DONE you want brazilian jazz elements? DONE you want a ballad over a 70s soul sample? DONE. she’s a musical institution.
they don’t make art like this anymore

The crazy thing is that Gabby was NOT embraced. In what world?! “Precious” became a SLUR!! They treated her very poorly for the way she looked, people didn’t start being nicer until she was in Empire and found out she was bubbly.
Replying to @AirTarig
Raven says she felt angry after seeing Gabourey be embraced for her size vs the era Raven came up in. It’s about an hour and 10 minutes into the conversation, as they were basically playing a game of keep or kill and the topic of fatphobia in Hollywood came up.

So much of the arts industry especially music and fashion is steeped in nepotism. You gotta stop looking at these industries as run by corporations and realize they are run by families. Thats one reason they’re so hard to break into. Family businesses. You can marry in.

Marry a white man Bianca! That’s one way they might consider you. Little to no mono racial black couples in these upper echelon circles. It’s like it’s illegal or something. You gotta mix.

You can’t compete with people who have white relatives y’all. We talk about the aesthetic privileges of being LS but not so much on the upper hand having white family networks makes business. It’s a huge resource. This is what interracialist BM have figured out.
Big shoutout to Martine Rose, Rachel Scott and Grace Wales Bonner — three Black women of Jamaican descent now at the helm of some of fashion’s major houses. Love to see it! Bianca Saunders got next!

Who in this “blue wave” is calling for the end of the occupation in Haiti? The end of US weapons, mercenaries and drones in Haiti? The Trump admin has intervened the most in Latin America and the Caribbean — and I am not seeing effective pressure against the “Donroe Doctrine.”

Who in this “blue wave” is calling for the US to end the blockade and sanctions regime against Cuba? Who in this “blue wave” is demanding that oil be shipped and allowed into Cuba? Who in this “blue wave” is demanding the release of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores?

Sometimes the plantation had Black overseers.
This is Atlanta. Every living Mayor of the city. One will soon be Georgia’s governor.

I see why those narratives serve you on a personal level but they are very nonproductive overall. It’s really not helpful for autistic people or for anyone else
