jameela jamil’s comments about beyoncé are, from the standpoint of a non-black woman commenting on a black woman’s sexuality, totally out of pocket tbh. It’s both difficult and unwise for non-blacks to discuss black women and our relationship to sexuality because there’s a clear struggle to understand how much our sexuality has informed and constrained simultaneously by colonial patriarchy and eurocentric ideals about womanhood. there’s a paradigm of hypersexualization/desexualization that black women are constantly subject to.
on one hand, we are presented as lust objects with extensive carnal knowledge, always sexually available, always tempting men and leading them astray. On the other hand, we are considered unfit for marriage or long-term relationships. We are hard and aggressive while other women are soft and sweet.
By fixating on beyoncé’s (a grown, married woman no less) sexuality and implying that she does not express it of her own volition (“what stimulates YOU beyoncé?”) jameela jamil is denying her agency and displaying the kind of entitlement that non-blacks often feel about black female bodies. and even if beyoncé was a puppet of the patriarchy or whatever, why would you specifically blame her for it rather than, idk, colonialism and misogynoir? Anti-black feminism is a circus.
Non-black women need to keep they Beyoncé hot takes to themselves and leave the dragging to the professionals!
