Gabbie Hanna's Pattern of Anti-Blackness | Your Mental Health Doesn't Excuse Your Racism

Gabbie Hanna has a long track record of creating anti-Black content for engagement. Recently during a public manic state, she had several racist outbursts on TikTok. Her fans are defending her right to not apologize, due to her mental state, and that excuse is not going to fly. Gabbie herself has returned to the platform and hasn't properly addressed these comments. In fact, since returning, she has stated that racism is an issue she's *very* passionate about. If that's truly the case, she can start at home by addressing her own anti-Black behavior.

Billie Eilish & Performative Allyship | Dissecting White Guilt

Billie Eillish is a young 20 year-old pop artist who has risen to superstardom over the last seven years with songs like “Ocean Eyes”, “Bad Guy” and “Everything I Ever Wanted”. As her popularity has grown, her name is often brought up in conversations surrounding the appropriation of Black culture. While I am frequently annoyed by Billie’s *maybe* passive appropriation, I am more frustrated by her performative gestures. So today, we’ll be discussing what performative allyship looks like through the lens of Billie Eillish’s actions. This is 'With Nuance', an audio and visual essay experience where we dissect all things media from a socio-political lens.
