gonna start this off with a general internet disclaimer: rap beef isn't for only Black people to understand or engage with, also Black people can absolutely be disinterested in rap beef, your interests (or lack of interest in something) do not define your validity, nor do they alter your race.

anyway, I just saw someone describe cohost as a place that's "a step removed" from caring about the Kendrick vs. Drake beef "directly" and claims people here are "kinda sick of hearing about it" while also claiming not to know what's going on

like first of all they're wrong* so let's start there and second of all that was a lot of words for someone to say "me and my other racist friends in the super-white feed I curated don't like that people are talking about Black culture"

*if this racist can self-select based on their feed, so can I

This is NOT about whether you know or don't know what's going on, it's about how you CHOOSE to talk about it and what that says about you, the people you CHOOSE to have in your circle, and how they CHOOSE to react to things they don't understand

this sort of stuff sucks in the same way that everyone going "hurr hurr hurr sportsball lmao" every year during a championship tournament sucks, except it's also racist!

here's a tip: if the reason people caring about a thing is bad hinges solely on the fact that you don't like it and you think it's bad for society to care about something you just personally do not like - and there is no greater harm - you are just a self-centered asshole

sincerely, a recovering self-centered asshole
