      @@ra-neter6662The guy in the video pretty much says it all. This type of stuff is typical from a) people from the ghetto and b) people who are not American. Africans and Non-black Americans take advantage of dysfunctional content that comes out of our culture and promote it 24/7. The stuff that NEEDs to be promote they ignore it. They also utilize their platforms to push bad politicians on us when it’s election year. Go to the White House or Black Events like they speak for us or like they are black Americans like they are our representation. It’s a long list of reasons. This not exclusive to just Africans, East Indians do this also. This type of stuff is even worst when it’s an LBGT person is over a black platform. All they do is chase clicks and promote bad stuff on their platforms. Whenever a lot of people find out the background of some of these owners ppl just black those pages. They have no good intentions.
      Plus knowing how veil Nigerians are toward African Americans, seeing how she’s only doing this because it made for a better career money wise than being a doctor in her family - it’s all a cash grab to that lady.
      At least with ppl from the ghetto they start to change their platforms for the better no matter if ppl like it or not. Non-Americans (Africans and whites) will milk it for as far as they can go. It’s like a Drake vs Kendrick scenario. You wanna be apart of the culture, wanna make money off the culture but all you have is veil negative stuff to offer. All you do is take. You poor negative stuff not only in adults minds but into our kids minds also with you “share rooms teens” platforms. Why are adults making shade room content for kids which is basically the same stuff for adults.

Do I keep up with Things, yes because I'm young, black, and female with younger siblings BUT when it gets too much, I will change the channel, close the UA-cam video or push that block button on Twitter with a QUICKNESS. The Shade Room will be added to the block list after I finish this video. No, they're not selling lotto tickets, pushing sports betting, or hosting Mary Kay parties but like you said, they're still doing a ton of harm. They're sowing discord amongst our community while pandering to The Lowest Common Denominators to make their Bag and that's messed up. Angelica and people like her are messed up just like folks like Daymond John. We can't let them slide. Not them or the jack leg Preachers (or JW Elders, in my case...) we grew up with. I'm looking forward to what you're gonna say about them because they're fucking awful and need to be held accountable.

      every person i can convince to block them is a huge victory. we have to stop allowing this trash to infiltrate our minds on a daily basis. In my opinion, they're just as harmful as the other things you named. the discord they sow is on a level we can't even measure.

UA-cam suggested your second deep dive to me, and since that day you have been a not insignificant voice in what I will call my own personal re-education of America. Keep inviting us along with you in what I'd wager is your own personal American cannon.
    Keep the compassion and heart you glow with, you walk in the footsteps of all men who have fought the good fight. Together, with an emphasis of having these difficult conversations in a respectful and equal footing is our only hope against the world. I see you.

    @BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Місяць тому +3

    I fortunately never heard of them, but I also actively avoid social media outside of UA-cam. But this sounds exactly like the criticisms made in the The Boondocks episode regarding BET, when it comes to profiteering from salacious content aimed at blacks. I also appreciate bringing up that there really is a divide between American-born blacks and those that are first or second generation. I hate to create more of a divide, but...we're indeed not the same. I'd like to consider them as "part of us", but more and more I see that that sentiment isn't shared the other way around, and I suppose it's ignorant of me to have thought so. Our plights and history are not the same. We may share some commonalities, like with a Venn Diagram, but we're still outsiders looking into each other's experiences as opposed to walking in each other's shoes.
    Also, that lame duck excuse regarding leaning into homophobia and transphobia is just gross. The users of Twitter are more insufferable than ever because the captain of the ship is a buffoon himself. When the leader of the company promotes derogatory language and ideologies, the users will see that they too can do the same. You can control the type of audience your draw in based on what you post. Post positve, uplifting comments and you will draw in people who appreciate that. Post love for the LGBTQ and trans community, you will bring in those communities. You hold all the power to control the narrative, so anyone running a "news" website that says they can't is a bold faced liar and they don't want to support those communities.

    • @BlisaBLisa
      @BlisaBLisa Місяць тому +1

      rly cannot stand the attitude that someone has no control over their audience and that the kinds of people in their audience isnt indicative of anything about the person. you can literally see with your own eyes that thats not true, like the twitter example. people want to pretend they live in a vaccum where they dont influence other people, thats just not how humans work
