Also frustrated how Summer and Ari both continue to get shut out when they both released critically acclaimed albums. 5 hours ago, Devin said: !!! Both Ari and Summer delivered strong R&B projects. But Grammys been a popularity contest and for music that’s most appealing to the YTs/mainstream. Which is why I stopped watching years ago. People cry about this every other year when their favorite artists aren’t nominated, but when Jazmine Sullivan and other artists were recognized, they praise the GRAMMYs The truth is Summer will never be nominated as long as she continues to stay anti-social. All she does is perform for her fans a few times a year, and goes back inside. The Academy completely forgot about her album because she doesn’t do anything. She doesn’t put herself out there and she sure doesn’t make connections with people in the industry - which are the voters. People forget the GRAMMYs are about respect from within the industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antisocialites Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Biggest snub for me was Ravyn Lenae. I knew she had no chance to get into Progressive R&B album but I still had some little hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Of You Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 You can tell Doja doesn’t associate with Black people, because someone would’ve told her about her hairline. Why she going around with her head looking like that… @Armani? @Devin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theshigo Washidu Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Americans, are durags and bonnets worn to go places e.g. supermarket/grocery, run errands etc? I have noticed an uptick of young Black girls wearing bonnets out and about here in London. The young boys were already wearing durags out and about (I even do the same once in a while). Usually we would keep that for indoors, but I personally don't see a problem wearing it outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always been viewed as ghetto, when in reality most of us keep it on if we aren’t going anywhere special.

I think that's more common nowadays. Traditionally, you would leave that on when you're in the house; I can't speak for NY, but in general, I don't think this is the case.

But yeah it depends on the location and gender too; cause I noticed women are typically looked down on for wearing bonnets/scarfs out but with men its a different story.

Reveal hidden contents I used to be guilty of this when I had waves but mfs would turn into making it fashionable. It is ghetto. I still think we’ve regressed in the way we portray ourselves. We really don’t care about our image anymore, and that’s because the influence of seeing people from the “streets” on social media. People look up to that image and it’s become a trend. Gone are the days of us trying to be upwardly mobile Spoiler I think I’m turning into a classist for our generation because Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suited and booted Black people still faced and face micro-aggressions, racism and even places like the corporate workplace pressuring you to conform to the "majority"'s ideals (straight hair, codeswitch etc). If the others had the hair type acceptable for durags and bonnets, best believe it would be seen as more fashionable, quirky and presentable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a good job of paying tribute to Chadwick. I saw a bit of clownery online of ppl claiming the movie removed the importance of Black men, they clearly aint watch the movie. I like the continued imperialist subtext of European & American nations attempting to destroy POC nations & hoarding their resources for bad, also the eventual Black & Brown alliance. Although Namor pissed me off when he came for Queen Angela Basset Also the secret revealing at the very end, this franchise is far from over It was extremely long though, I wasnt expecting 3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, it was far too long in my opinion. The scene that M’baku and Shuri had before the final battle was so unnecessary. A whole bunch of talking for no reason.
