We Can’t Ask Black People This… Apparently

from Misha Petrov · host Misha Petrov

My camera focusing on my shirt instead of my face the entire video was actually intentional. I identified as Black while filming this and the camera respected my identity. Please do the same.Today I am discussing the viral controversy surrounding a woman who was labeled racist after asking a simple question about the cost of braids. I break down the backlash, the apology that followed, and how curiosity is now being mistaken for racism.Commentary YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realmishapetrov Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JjQPGcfGjQUZrE3BKchk9 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/misha-petrov/id1828496332Podcast YouTube: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YVH38ovwYcoecCX8r4Ub7 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/imisha/id1853723607Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realmishapetrov Merch: https://mishapetrov.comCommonly Asked Questions“Why do you have a male name?”I wasn’t aware it was illegal.“What religion are you?”Pastafarian.“Are you a Republican or a Democrat?”I’m an enlightened centrist.“You’re a lesbian.
