Peak Caucasity: IKEA Meatball Nicole Arbour Tells Folks To “Get Over Slavery” After Gentrifying Donald Glover’s #ThisIsAmerica Video
Career Gentrifier Nicole Arbour Wants Us To Shut Up About Slavery
See, this is why White women need to stop speaking for “ALL” women…
The Tomato Low Rent adjacent comedian that redid Donald Glover’s “This Is America” video just proved why she deserved a dragging. Folks online were rubbed the wrong way after Nicole Arbour posted up her “feminist” version of #ThisIsAmerica and questioned her motives on twitter.
One user pointed out an old tweet where Arbour suggested that folks needed to “get over” slavery. She had just went on a rant about how she empathized with ALL struggles. But here, she’s sounding like she’s a part-time teacup hypnotist.

Arbour’s true thoughts on slavery? “I can’t fix the past, let’s refocus”. Where’s all that “empathy” that inspired her, huh?
Oh I mean this. It’s misdirected energy. I can’t fix the past, but issues now, we all have a chance at so let’s refocus. I wanna see more movies with black women CEOs and normalizing excellence for the next generation to see, less black ppl in prison, and police retraining.

White women like her would actually rather die than apologize…LAUGH OUT LOUD! Warner Chapel also gave Nicole the green light to keep up her IKEA version of the video too. Here she is bragging about it.
Lol, my team just had an exchange with Warner Chappell about #ThisIsAmerica Not only is it staying up, they’re happy to receive sample royalties. #Deal 👊🏻😉

Donald Glover’s label thinks her parody is acceptable? Welp, folks in their right minds think Nicole Arbour is still a receptacle. Hit the flip to see what they’re saying to her.
white people: "EMPATHY IS KEY".
also white people: "What are you going to do, fat people? You going to chase me? Black people stop crying about slavery. Now be empathetic to me as I discuss 'women's issues' and shit on you for the issues you face".

‘Slavery is the past’ coming from a WHITE person who has never had to worry about that issue past or present. pic.twitter.com/RmsOpOpmKf

Nah that tweet spoke loud and clear. You don’t understand that the effects of slavery are still alive today. If you want to see black people progress, you can’t forget our history. The reason why it’s so hard for us to progress is BECAUSE of our history.

I can want all this and still have anger about slavery. Anger at an atrocity is not irrational and the things you mentioned are the effect of seeing certain humans as property. We know it can’t be undone. That doesn’t mean we can’t approach this w common sense. pic.twitter.com/SbxyGSGajs

Just to clarify, ur excuses went: 1) OMG GUYZ ITS IRONY, 2) I made this bc I IDENTIFY w black struggles, 3) slavery is irrelevant, let's move on to something *I* care about, 4) U Just Don't GET My Art!, 5) I ❤️ ALL PPL, 6) Stop using race to divide us!!! #peakwhiteness

You can’t dictate what oppressed people can be mad at.Again, the insensitivity. You don’t know what it’s like to deal systematic slavery. You never will. Slavery never went anywhere, it just evolved. Since this is not your experience you’ll never truly feel that. 🤦🏽♀️

You would absolutely die inside if you had to apologize for something wouldn’t you lmao.
I mean, in the context of your ‘time to get over slavery’ remarks I’d say you got bigger problems anyway.

Slavery isn't the issue now sweetie, but racism definitely is and that weak ass video you did is part of the problem pic.twitter.com/OeICoKX8b8
