Thank you for taking it down. Absolutely totally the right call, I cannot stress enough but like… I wrote such a good article and you guys sorta ruined it?
As The Kumquat’s 1.6% I take joy in saying the things the white journalists (basically all of them, white people love satire) can not and I harnessed that joy to shit on Daniele, Bob Bassett and everyone else pretending they care about “editing” or “cinema” because the thing is— no one cares about cinema. White people made up the word cinema solely so they could justify blackface and “artists” that want to bone their stepdaughters and call themselves intellectuals at the same time. Film studies, I’m looking at you.
For years, I have been shit talking white people as a coping mechanism and I’ve gotten really good. Chapman’s white establishment would have been absolutely SHATTERED when they learned I know white secrets like white people are out here putting grapes in their potato salad and having a good relationship with BOTH their parents!
The taking down of the poster is a step towards a more comfortable campus for black students, but there is something else important to consider, something I said several times in my article, “Birth of a Nation doesn’t even slap.”
I wish you would’ve waited like a week to fold because I really worked my ass off on this piece. Just another example of the administration disrespecting people of color.
