black people and the obsession with policing other black people's looks
Transcript
I looked up yam on TikTok and guess what I saw. Black people making fun of their noses and making fun of other black people for the way they look. And this is exactly why I'm pissed off about this Madam Joyce situation. You people have called this woman ugly, you've picked her face apart, you've called her nose ugly, you've made fun of her. Eventually, she got something done to her body, to her face, and now you have something to say again. So what exactly do you want from black people? You bully them for the way they look, they decide to change the way they look, you still bully them for trying to change. All of a sudden you want to talk about self-love, you want to talk about black Afrocentric, you want to talk about you're mad at the yam. I'm not saying we should encourage people to change their face or whatever, I'm just saying let people do whatever they want.
