Is anyone else having a hard time watching the POC scream and curse at each other?
In House Convo
I feel bad for saying this, but watching the black islanders in particular barate each other to no end makes me feel so deeply uncomfortable as a black woman.
I cringed hard at the recoupling curse off between TiTi and the girls, but I actually had to fast forward through the Aniya/KC stand off scream down.
I mean this for both the male and female cast members, as well as the unambiguous black cast (like Trinity, KC, TiTi and Aniya) AND the ambiguous black cast (Melanie,
Kayda, Sincere and Corbin ).
At least if a black cast member is going head to head with a white one, I can feel comfortable rooting for everyone black. But the black on black crime is too much for me…
I feel like my deep embarrassment during these scenes are rooted in anti-blackness some how, so if someone can help me not feel embarrassed by these scenes please help a girl out. I HATE feeling this way.
I love when they stand up for themselves. All the crash outs are certainly valid, but watching them scream, curse, and walk up on each other knowing the viewership and perception is killing me a bit.
I KNOW this post is cringe in and of itself. But…am I really alone here? And I genuinely would love to hear why others dont feel this way.
And YES the whites be crazy too of course but this is an in house discussion. Help a black girl enjoy this show without internalized racist shame please!
