They’re Fatigued Too: Black & White on the Gray Issues Feat. The Cartier Family
"We have been banished from the Black community. Online. Because online. But like, it's only online. Like in the real world, I'm in a predominantly Black fraternity. My dad was in it. I'm still in it. I get love. I serve at a Black church. No one has a problem."
Multiple Black content creators with significant YouTube followings report being labeled as 'coons' and ostracized online for criticizing negative aspects of Black culture, including gang violence and fatherlessness. Despite being called 'not Black' online, they maintain strong relationships in real-world Black communities including churches and fraternities, suggesting a disconnect between online discourse and lived experience.
