Even though he shot me, I tried to spare him. And y’all MFers is not sparing me. That’s crazy. That’s fucked up. I go through so much shit on a daily basis anyway. And then I have to get on the MFing internet when I’m just trying to make my music. PARKER: A video went viral of a young Black woman being grabbed by a group of young Black men and tossed in a dumpster because they thought it was funny — ironically all while several of the guys were in Black Lives Matter T-shirts.
PARKER: I’m not sure how to properly put into words what it feels like to hear another Black woman say, “The way the world treats me gives me anxiety, and I wanted no part of it.” Because it was the first time I’ve ever heard someone else say it. I kinda thought maybe it was just me and it was all in my head. But now, a recent survey shows only 3 percent of Black professionals, mostly Black women, want to return to the office.
MOYA: I was home for Christmas, and I was just up late and I saw “Tip Drill,” and I was like, Wow, we’re really doing this. Okay. —Clip from Nelly’s “Tip Drill” PARKER: Just their luck, Nelly was coming to Spelman’s campus to do a bone-marrow-registration drive for his sister, who was at that time fighting leukemia. But word reached Nelly’s camp that a protest was emerging and there were flyers all over campus with his face and the words “Misogynist of the Month” across it.
PARKER: Moya needed a word to describe why Madea has become a cultural touchstone, why the Onion thought it would be funny to call a then-9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis “a cunt,” why a political cartoonist would draw Serena Williams as a gorilla, why so much of the 2010s were spent describing Michelle Obama’s arms, or why a Black male celebrity praises their white wife online for having an ass as big as any Black woman’s. The stamp of misogynoir is there for clarity.
PARKER: Are you slightly concerned that the word itself, misogynoir, is going to take on a shape like the term intersectionality or even right now with critical race theory? Words, created predominantly by Black women, are somehow dulled down for consumption.
