a lot of people (in any space but this is specifically abt sapphic/wlw spaces) don’t realize how much white people dominate and influence our community’s culture
with things like music, white artists are celebrated and promoted to the point where that artist becomes heavily associated with said community, and that is a big problem
many people can go their whole lives only consuming media created by white people because white media is more accessible due to the privelges afforded to white artists
white artists can have ties to music industries (like clairo) or can have the financial means to create and promote their art
on the other hand, many black and brown artists do not have that luxury. artists like noname (a black rapper) have to constantly go on tour even when they don’t want to just to be able pay for necessities like rent
white sapphics/wlw, as a part of a marginalized community, should make more of an effort to uplift and promote independent black and brown artists
