In this episode of A Tribe Called Best, I sit down to unpack the controversy surrounding Tyler, the Creator and the allegations of anti-Blackness. We go beyond the headlines — what is anti-Blackness? How do we define it in our culture? And when we scream “cancel” and pull our support from one black person, what are we really saying?
We explore how we sometimes carry out the cancel culture in our own community, throwing people out while welcoming in outsiders without question. If we’re going to be serious about accountability, we’ve got to learn how to look in the mirror. We’ve got to understand how — as a culture — we can champion thieves, culture vultures, and leeches, but cannibalize our own when the spotlight gets messy.
This episode isn’t just about one person. It’s about the big picture: who we allow in, who we push out, and what we lose when we confuse culture-sharing with authenticity and allow harmful people outside our circle to slide. Let’s stop hurting ourselves more than the so-called “problem” ever could.
Join me as I tell the story, break it down, and leave you with a verdict — because we’re the tribe that thrives, Besties. ✊🏽
