What a week for black kpop fans huh?!?! (Part 2)
Another thing I wanna talk about is the issue I have when fandoms use us as a way to start fanwars. You CLEARLY don’t care about our voices being heard and are no better bc you just wanna use us for argumentative sake and that’s not okay and it’s lame and your lame. Don’t shift blame and say “well look what your fav did” or “but no one said anything when such and such did it” WE DID YOU JUST SUPPRESSED OUR VOICES. trust and believe black ppl are gonna speak up when we need to be heard and trust and believe black voices will be raised when we have been wrong. The real question is are you bothering to listen and hear us?
Don’t shame black ppl for liking kpop either by saying “you knew what you were getting into” like no I’m sorry I don’t go around assuming everyone is racist that sht would eat me up and wear on me. A lot of the time there have been artist that have learning firm there mistakes and have grown as individuals and apologised. Black ppl liking things outside of black culture is okay and we shouldn’t be suppressed to a bubble and shut out bc that makes you no better than the racist ppl alllllll throughout history that have told us to stay where we belong and that we don’t belong here or there. Start looking in mirror and hold these artist and companies accountable bc I promise when you do it’ll make it so we don’t end up the the same position of fanwars and constant disappointment. Be the change you wanna see, everyone deserves to have a safe space and community they like to be apart of.
