How many of y’all were taught about black face in elementary, middle school, or high school?
I’m just curious because it was never actually explained to me until I took an AA Studies class in college.
Rapper Kodak Black says he isn’t going to follow the crowd when it comes to boycotting Gucci for selling a turtleneck sweater that, when pulled up over the lower half of the face, resembled blackface.
The Italy-based luxury clothing company has pulled the item off shelves and apologized, but fellow rappers T.I. and Soulja Boy have said they are boycotting Gucci nonetheless.
Kodak Black, whose given name is Bill Kapri, says leave him out of this.
“See my little Gucci clothes that I bought?” he said on Instagram Live. “And I’ma wear it. I’m black, right? And I’m thug to the bone, right? … But sometimes Black people do be reaching for like no reason – just be reaching.”
He went on, “Them people ain’t do nothing. … Them people just had a little ski mask. There’s all kinds of ski masks in the world.”
The Culture Update posted the Instagram Live video on Twitter, prompting followers to condemn Kodak Black for his decision.
Posted @Silverson81, or Silverson, “Kodak Black is seriously misguided and undereducated in terms of Black history.”
The Gucci controversy is one of a series of such events to unfold in recent weeks involving blackface, a practice that some historians argue dates as far back as the European Renaissance, and evolved in America during slavery and Jim Crow eras to demean Black people.
Singer Katy Perry apologized for and pulled shoes from stores that appeared to sport blackface and Prada did the same for trinkets sold in its stores that resembled blackface. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring both have admitted to wearing blackface in the past and some of their constituents are calling on them to step down.

So we canceling Kodak or??
This is tough because if you boycott him for not sticking up for the rest of the community you essentially hurt a member of the community. How does a community police stuff like this without it also negatively impacting that same community?
Mega rich black people aint part of the community. Mega rich Americans are only apart of mega rich americans
That's a skewed way of looking at it. How can you say that about all Black wealthy Black Americans?
You ever heard of a benevolent rich person? And by mega rich im talking the 1% not a nigha with 3 million.
Are we not talking about Kodak Black anymore?
Lots of rich people give back. There are tons of Black-run charities that exist with black donors who care about the community. You don't think folks like Obama and Oprah have colleagues and friends who are benevolent?
how you figure?Mega rich black people aint part of the community. Mega rich Americans are only apart of mega rich americans
