“The interviewer and guests on the episode on interracial dating didn’t display an understanding of how people of African descent built the world, including the wealth of the entire Western Hemisphere and Europe, according to renowned experts like Prof Howard French (Columbia), Prof Marlene Daut (Yale) & the late Profs Michel Trouillot (Univ of Chicago) and Cheikh Anta Diop (Université de Dakar). I mention this macro issue about the importance of people of African descent around the world because it was heartbreaking to hear how these women during this episode centered the fiction of Whiteness by only defining themselves in relation to White people. What I would tell the women on this show is free yourself from the White gaze, educate yourself on how Africa and its diasporas/descendants built the world and focus on how you exist in a world built by your people.”
