Actress Drew Barrymore is being accused of cultural insensitivity toward "black creators" for posting a video of herself enjoying the rain, which at least one critic says is an appropriation of the "black men frolicking" trend.
Many social media users were confused by the criticism posted by TikTok user amushroomblackly, who chastised Barrymore for the video clip by saying she was a "colonizer" who made it possible for millions of her followers to "dismiss and disrespect the boundaries that black creators have set."
The TikTok user was upset because she saw Barrymore's video as an extension of a TikTok trend called "black men frolicking." It began with the user thexsadxoptimistic filming himself happily running through a field of flowers. The clip got shared on Mashable in May and quickly went viral, inspiring other social media users to copy him. It allegedly spread to black women as well.
There was a time I thought we could hit peak stupidity.
Now I know there is no limit to stupidity, especially from the left
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
