Recently, Vice released a documentary on the life of a white student at Morehouse College. The documentary covered student, Tiago ‘last name’, and what it feels like for him to exist in a Black space. Morehouse and Spelman College students, Jatella, Clarissa Brooks, and Da’Shaun Harrison, sit down with Justin to discuss the costs of a documentary like this and allowing whiteness into Black spaces.

Thoughts?

In this video, Justin J, Jatella, Adrian Xpression, and Da’Shaun Harrison discuss Cardi B, Azealia Banks, and other celebrities in relation to colorism and various other forms of oppression/bigotry. The four of them dive into the discussion by touching on illiteracy rates in America, who is allowed space to speak in a way that is considered “ratchet,” and how this affects their careers. The conversation moves from that to discussing what accountability looks like for The Celebrity––specifically, Cardi B. The group touches on a wide array of topics: from Black Radical Feminist Tradition to Afro-Latinx identities in America.
