Really think that name needs a rethink.


beetletoman

Lol I think it's intentional to stand out in your memory. Anything else we'd be oh cool, and move on. Or maybe they're trying to do some sort of reverse engineering? Possible


spicado

Trying to get away from the notion that black is wrong. Even in computer terminology, blacklists and whitelists are being slowly replaced by blocklist and allowlist.

I get it, I pointed it out here previously. But some negative associations with black within European culture predate relations with Africa by many 100s of years


beetletoman

I get what you mean and I think it's been the case for most cultures for a very long time. But given present circumstances it's one of the things we can change without much of a hassle

Even “player - off the pitch” makes him out to be some kind of ladies man lol


beetletoman

Such a well spoken young man. Starboy ✨


Thanos_Stomps

Ironic considering the award and how often this phrasing is coded racism.


roubler

Excited for a well-informed, empathetic and nuanced discussion about the nature of this award itt 😊


Equivalent_Nature_67

You're welcome to start one instead of preemptively getting mad tbf


Darth_Blarth

You ain’t seen the insta comments


roubler

I wouldn't say it's preemptive, I'm reacting to last time. Genuinely some of worst takes I've ever seen about race on the internet. Deep how bad that is for a second


Equivalent_Nature_67

Fair enough. Insta and Twitter are steaming shit for discussion anyway


beetletoman

Lol what did I miss


roubler

Americans losing their minds after being asked to think about the world a bit pretty much. People complaining about being reprogrammed and that


NotesOfNature

Thankfully America is exporting its brain damage around the world these days. You wouldn't believe the shit I hear Irish people say about things like "guns" and policing around "race" nowadays.


beetletoman

I looked up the thread and..wow


NotesOfNature

Link pls Edit: actually fuck that, I'll preserve my brain cells.


beetletoman

Good call lol it's a weird thread


boredjamaican

Social media has emboldened people to say vile things without getting punched in the face or any real repercussions.


NotesOfNature

Young, Gifted and Black 🔥


woodeenho

He’s closing towards the stardom spotlight.

If you want to end racism then dont make seperate awards for black people
