We need to stop overusing that word. Are we completely the "banana fetish" in the background???? And the trope that Black men have large penises itself actually is very racist and we can trace the idea directly back to the first european expeditions to Africa and eventually the slave trade. One of the reasonings that were used to justify slavery was that black people were beast-like or animal-like, which made them inferior to (white) human-people. One of the characteristics used to exemplify this was the size of black men's members. Later, at slave auctions, ***** size was also used as a descriptor of the potential vitality of the person being purchased, meaning: how fit they were to work and how many future slaves he would be able to create if "mated" with other slaves. Black men (and black women also) were said to be promiscuous and violent in their approach. White women were often warned that if they spent too much time with a black man, she could find herself being raped. This is also why it was so easy to convict and lynch innocent black men from the times of slavery all the way to the 1980s: the general public agreed that white people were civilized while black people were not. Black men had large penises that could "hypnotize" or entice wives of slaveowners/white men and force them to cheat on their spouses; or, black men were so animal-like that their urge to mate made them prone to raping white women specifically. In more recent history, the trope that Black men have large dicks/are better in bed was extremely popular in television in the 90s, and that was often the sole role of several black characters. Even before the slave trade, early colonizers noted in their journals the different African societies that were used to living semi-nude. This was extremely different from European societies where nudity was considered lewd and sinful. So, early colonizers interpreted this as the insatiable thirst for sex and multiple sexual partners of African societies. Am I saying that this is what non-black people people have in mind when they are saying "I love BBC"? No, but this is literally where their fetish historically comes from ? Edited May 2, 2022 by Mast

Y'all are reaching so hard to "well actually" his obvious racism and it's embarrassing. The "baby hairs" hairstyle (which is associated with black women) sealed the deal. Please don't embarrass yourself any further.
LCTV Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Literally a YELLOW collection by JEFFREE STAR with shade names playing up INUENDOS. Y'all do too much. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_BdhZoOLZ/

He’s skirting lines and fully aware of the outrage a shot like thi$ will incite regardless of the specifics. Million view “apology” video of him reasoning it away incoming. We’re tired.

Bussea Posted May 2, 2022 Author Posted May 2, 2022 If you’re white you don’t get an opinion on whether this is racist or not screaming at y’all always claiming people are doing “too much” when it comes to calling out racism, but god forbid Harry Styles not tell you his sexuality or Demi debuts a pronoun. y’all are a bigger joke and more transparent than Jefree at this point

Tropez Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 It's so ****** up, that you assumed they were black because you saw a banana and dark skin. That's what we should be discussing, considering those aren't black men.
modeblock Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 anyone else it would still be bad, but this individual? the n-word enthusiast? he needs some of those racial healing classes, someone call ms cabello
Sombre Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Racist or not, the fact that some of you are going out of your ways to defend this guy?? One of the nastiest people online, with an extremely ugly personality. Do better.
Devin Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 White users here embarassing themselves again. Its not about what you interpret to be racist. If a Black/POC is telling you its racist or offensive just respect that.
Protocol Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Why is this person relevant? Do people really care about make up like that to make him rich and famous? It’s just paint for your face

Mast Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Like, even if this was all unintentional (I think it was intentional), and even if those are white models saturated to 9000 (which I don't think they are and I find to be an irrelevant/moot point since the association is still dark skin = big dick), this is the kind of **** that your PR team is supposed to catch before you publish ?

Worms for brains, the people still experiencing hate & people who have literally been lynched are VERY REAL. Narcissistic & just plain stupid

I just rather would like to see people care this much about climate change, job disadvantages for black people, hate crimes against black people, the war in the Ukraine, LGBTQ+ issues, etc. Those are things I am angry about. Jeffree pretending to suck a banana is cringe.
Breathin Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 They're not even black. The theatrics y'all pull out every time he does something remotely polarizing is cumbersome He has much bigger skeletons in his closet we can be discussing, not this photoshoot. Congrats, you gave him the attention he wanted. More sales, woohoo.
