I wonder why the black people who just learned of the black experience in their 20’s end up being the voice of the culture?

I have a *theory*. Suburban blacks are more acceptable and less scary. Gatekeepers of our culture are white https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏾‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (medium dark skin tone)"> It’s way easier to work with the person who just realized they were black when they left the culdesac because they identify with them a little more

It just bothers me when I can recognize the unreal and I feel like you’re cosplaying and being an expert in an aesthetic you just learned about
