that Relatable™
mental illness feel when you can’t tell if your workload is unreasonable or if you’d actuallly be able to handle this if you had a functioning fucking brain
and it doesn’t look like i will ever find out. CONUNDRUM
see i think terry crews has the tendency to be a lil stupid but i mainly think hes just an older blk man like none of the stuff he says ever comes off as that crazy to me when conntextualized as him just…. being an older black man. even the “you need both paternal and maternal love” doesnt seem super wild to me bc its easy to trace that reasoning back to activism abt disruptions of black households with jailing black fathers and how a lot of black activism keeps going back to needing strong blk men in your life. which can be unpacked and discussed and i dnt think its the….. best ideology.
idk how to phrase this exactly it just…. ya know its not a wild enough statement to me to have a bunch of white gays come and talk abt how hes cancelled. i thinnk he should be criticized tho. i really do. but also i think its just true that ppl are a lil hyper vigilant with “cancelling” him instead of correcting or disagreeing when it feels like the same old same old
and again: i think he should be criticized for it i just… think its a lil obvious that hes coming from a place of belonging in a community that faces an epidemic of black men being jailed and taken away from their families. a lot of blk ppl talk abt lacking a father figure and how this impacts them growing up. i think its easy to throw a queer theory lens on it that nobody needs men in their life, but i really cant in good faith say that its wrong for blk ppl to identify the need for blk men in their life. i just think we should contextualize things a lil more if were gonna give earnest criticism and feedback
