Why it worked

The creator tackles a sensitive and often misunderstood topic, "pro-blackness," by offering a clear, albeit potentially controversial, definition. This approach sparks debate and encourages engagement from viewers who may have differing perspectives or are curious to learn more.

Summary

The creator explains that "pro-blackness" is a political and economic ideology, not simply about pride or self-love in being black. She argues that this misunderstanding leads to offense when the true definition is discussed, as people associate it with personal identity rather than political and economic stances.

Like the disconnect is because people are using a term loosely and not understanding that it is a political and economic ideology it’s not about love of self or community it’s about economics and politics. #problack #blacktiktokcommunity #datingwhileblack #realitycheck

Transcript

This might get me cancelled but I promise I'm saying this from a place of love. The reason why all this discourse about pro-blackness and your personal decisions, particularly in your bedroom, sparks so much discourse is because people are talking about pro-blackness from the assumption of a definition and not the reality of what it is. Pro-blackness by definition is a political and economic ideology. It's not about self-love, it's not about self-love, it's not about being proud to be black. It is a political and economic ideology. And the problem is because people hear pro-black and they think that it is a synonym for proud to be black or loving being black. And when we have conversations about pro-blackness from people who know the definition, people who think that it's a synonym for being proud to be black or loving being black, they get offended because they're hearing something that's not being said because they don't know the definition of what pro-black is. You can be proud to be black, love being black and still make the choices that you make. And by definition, not be pro-black based off the choices that you make. Pro-blackness is a political and economic ideology. That's it. And the problem is people hear pro-black and they think that it is a synonym for proud to be black or loving being black.
