I say all that to say that both film, TV, and music perpetuate the onscreen pairing of a darker-complexioned mate and a lighter-complexioned mate with such regularity, that we often do not notice it, and how that permeates into the real world in the form of complexion-based fetishes. theGrio: So, you have never met her face-to-face? theGrio: How did this all begin? But I suspect that unfollowing her is part of the story. Joe Biden Gives Wildly Confident Speech to Honking Cars, “I’m here to tell you tonight, we believe we’re on track to win this election.”, Stephen Colbert on Why ‘It’s a Good Thing’ We Don’t Have Election Results Yet, “I’m going to say something a little controversial, so don’t get mad at me.”, Steve Kornacki Is the Only Cute Thing About the Election, Here Are a Bunch of Celebrities (Safely) Voting This Year, Trump’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Has Been Boarded Up, LeVar Burton Schools Keith Olbermann on How to Pronounce ‘Kunta Kinte’. non-Black—women made the rounds, prompting a Twitter user to ask which rappers, aside from Snoop Dogg, are married to Black women. I find her claim to be dubious in nature. She’s somebody who followed me on Twitter.
Both of their personal lives were made public for drama-thirsty spectators, and both received threatening messages. The move made some kind of sense because Kweli’s existence on Twitter was defined by hostile debate — to follow him was to witness him in seemingly constant conflict. Talib Kweli: The reason why it caught my eyes was because it mentioned my name. I sure did. After taking issue with how some media outlets, including theGrio, reported the initial story, Kweli agreed to sit down for an exclusive interview on his thoughts and feelings about how things went down. He won’t let this go. *Coughs in Spike Lee’s filmography*. “Watching black men joke about [Meg’s] shooting as a call to action to harm more black women hurts in a way I’m not smart enough to articulate,” Noname tweeted. “I have also been threatened with human trafficking, and they have been posting pictures of my parents online, who are ALL federal employees, along with their full names, where we live, and my stepmother’s old job and salary.” However, Moody did not at the time provide evidence that Talib Kweli himself. My children’s mother as well?
I’ve seen articles from HipHopDX.
Kweli sent me an iCloud folder full of screenshots he says prove his point. EQue said, “Why are you doing this to me?” I can’t send you all of the conversations that EQue had with Maya, because she deleted most of those tweets. “Carnell is a board member of PFIR [Progressives for Immigration Reform] which is a white nationalist organization. Trolls and bored opportunists with an ax to grind got into the mix to hassle and terrorize both parties. “Now most of my exchanges will always be with real fans who invest in me.”. Once we actually got to the march, there were still a lot of white women, but more women of color. Are we talking all of my relationships? Moody’s audience is nothing to sniff at, with just under 30,000 Twitter followers, but she’s still a student who largely tweets about pop culture and men she finds attractive. Protect black women in more than just theory. Kweli maintained on Instagram that he “left @twitter for the greener pastures of @patreon,” but many suspect he was suspended for harassment. In 2019, Rachelle Hampton wrote a piece for Slate about Black feminists who encountered far-right trolls on Twitter in the early and mid-2010s; this was before Gamergate and before the calamity of the 2016 presidential election. Responding for hours on end for over two weeks on various social media platforms may, in fact, qualify as cyber harassment, which the National Conference of State Legislatures defines as an act that “usually pertains to threatening or harassing email messages, instant messages, or to blog entries or Web sites dedicated solely to tormenting an individual.” It was—eventually—considered harassment by Twitter’s standards as well. She got that from a white supremacist’s blog, Turtle Boy Sports. He dragged the fiasco to Instagram for his 918,000 followers to enjoy, posting screenshots of her tweets, accusing Moody of harassing him, and dedicating an hour-long Instagram Live session to the kerfuffle (ironically titled “Addressing The Lies That I Harass Black Women”). More than two weeks after he began harassing a 24-year-old woman on the platform, Talib Kweli is no longer on Twitter. When I saw his tweet, including my name as a rapper who married a Black woman, even though I’m not with my wife any longer, I was proud to be included in the group. The presumption is that Black women are fair game, easy targets, for racists and Black men alike. Especially when it comes to hip-hop music. I’ve done the same thing to Neo-Nazis. I mentioned Sandra Bland on my albums. I have proof that people text my phone and say they will go pee on my children.
His primary target: A 24-year-old student and activist named Maya Moody, who became Kweli’s obsession after a discussion about colorism in hip-hop went left. For Many Women Of Color, It Felt Divided.

Dear White People discusses this also, but still falls into these pairings that perpetuate colorism and fetishes. Or are you only talking about who you think I’m currently in a relationship right now? Kweli also explained why he took issue with Moody’s initial tweet in which she pointed out that his now-estranged wife is light-skinned, which ultimately set the beef in motion. The Women’s March Was A Moment For Solidarity. theGrio: If we did a hard, deep dive, what would we find about how Talib Kweli treats Black women?
In since-deleted tweets, Eque wrote, “Hey he makes his own damn choices for his life” and that he’s a “debater” who has a way with words.
How are y’all talking about protecting Black women, and people are sending me text messages like that?
Have you subscribed to theGrio’s podcast “Dear Culture”?
When you respond to someone who posts lies about you, that is not harassment.”. Our rules are to ensure all people can participate in the public conversation freely and safely.”, Moody is unsurprised by Twitter’s initial inaction, which fits into a pattern of the company ignoring rampant abuse against Black women on the platform. But on Saturday, they were in normal uniform — nothing different. Kweli replied the next day, tweeting the following: “Nah let’s have this convo today.

Bogus.” Kweli also accused Res of taking advantage of the MeToo movement for personal gain. I wrote a song called “She’s My Hero” dedicated to Gracia Meadows. While we strive to bring our readers newsworthy and timely original stories, we are committed to transparency when a story falls short of that standard. Twitter decided that because I posted a phone number that I am being harmful by sharing someone’s number — doesn’t matter that the person whose phone number I posted said that it was from a burner.

Are we talking all of my relationships?
Their interactions began on July 10, when Kweli responded to Moody’s comments about Black rappers marrying light-skinned women.
Literally almost all of them are married to light skinned women but that’s a conversation for another day. In Kweli’s Instagram Live video, he acknowledged that colorism is a problem. That said, next to no one at the very bro-tastic Twitter is trying to empower, elevate, or protect women in the company, or on their platform. theGrio: How do you know Maya Moody?
