#from a region of my mind

Not excusing the quasi-misogynoir humor of Chris

Not excusing the toxic masculinity and violence of Will

Not excusing the problematic practices (and recurring spiritual bypassing) of Jada

But what we witnessed is not a binary issue or just a “black family matter.” Between the toxic masculinity, the violence, and the general antiblack, anti-indigenous nature of the oscars, I am still struggling between shock, discomfort, and second-hand embarrassment over this spectacle.
