"blackness" for white audiences.

Alot of the examples of black entertainers having white spouses don't bother me because they had huge black audiences and made material for black audiences.

I have a problem with black artists who primarily have white audiences WHEN their shtick is their blackness (So not dissing Eagle-Eye Cherry or that black dude who plays rock music for white audiences).


I do get the side-eye to pro-black folks with white spouses but Jessica Williams issue is hardly her pro-blackness.
