I've been thinking about this lately, when it comes to media studies. I've noticed a lot of white feminists are very hard on rap and hip hop, and while they don't explicitly say its because they view black people as more sexist or homophobic, I think the implication is really there, you know? Like rap as a whole genre is too misogynistic to enjoy at all, but did you see last night's Game of Thrones? Some problematic parts, but wasn't it overall badass? Beyonce dress kinda skanky last night and that contributes to trafficking girls. Beyonce said the word "bitch" and its horrible. Someone revoke her feminist card. But lets talk about how Lady Gaga is a gift from God.
And I know this is bigger than media, but its a gateway for a lot of people to understand social inequality and issues. A lot of people just stop at media criticism fullstop. And that's a huge problem when media is consumed by white people who only see what they want to see about black people.
