Black People + Classism
updated
In what was supposed to be a 20-minute video, I discuss the ways that zombies (and other revenants) have evolved in folklore, pop culture, and history. What did Zora Neale Hurston, Wade Davis, and William Seabrook find when they visited Haiti? How did other Haitian events-- revolution, stigma about voodoo, American occupation in 1915, dictatorships-- shape beliefs and fuel urban legend? How did zombies go from enslaved workers to bloodthirsty plague carriers?

From Flavor of Love to Love is Blind... how have black women fared on dating shows? "Black love" is not an important term to everyone, but I have always rooted for it and hope to see healthier and inclusive versions of it in media. I get tired of seeing arguments about black men and women's marriage rates, black women's desirability, dating bus drivers, $200 dates, hypergamy, gold diggers, interracial dating, etc. What are black women facing when it comes to dating? I also wanted to explore those topics as well by contextualizing reality dating shows and providing a bit of history. Not only have they been historically racist to black women, but they have grown from fun game show gimmicks to serious commitments-- why do people enjoy them and how did we get here? How have reality shows simply reflected the truth and how have they distorted it? Should black women settle? There are over 50 sources for this video on patreon! patreon.com/intelexualmedia

Who uses rags vs loofahs? Who doesn't shower every day? Who uses liquid soap but no bar soap? Be honest-- you've probably played in the Hygiene Olympics before, especially if you're a black woman. But where does the overcompensating--- 3-6 showers a day, wearing panty liners everyday, douching, etc— come from? How does it fit into a broader pattern of mainly white celebrities and people sharing that they don’t bathe? And more pressingly— how has the vulva health of black women been compromised due to a desire to escape racist stereotypes? Let's chat!
