No Dumb “White Girl” Decisions
Just the other day, I watched an Instagram skit of a woman being chased by an ax murderer. And all she kept doing was perpetually falling. So much so that the thrill of the chase became boring to the murderer and he just walked away. For Black folks, that’s what it’s like watching horror movies where White women perpetually make decisions that aren’t in their best interests. Investigating strange noises instead of getting the hell out, summoning dark spirits instead of rebuking them, it’s just not smart. If Black women are going to be in horror flicks, things are going to have to change.
