fuck that.

Black women create culture, but we rarely are given the opportunity to profit from our creations and additions.

This makes me so mad. I'm sure if KKKhloe tried to copyright it, she would be able to.

So you're mad that a black woman is not able to profit off the word/phrase/sound that other black women/ black gay men have been using for years before her?

It's greedy and I'm glad it was denied.

More things should be denied from trademark that take advantage of words/phrases communities have been using for years.

[analievelyn]

Ofc it's greedy af and I agree about your last part, but her claim wasn't denied for any of those reasons.

[analievelyn]

I think I'm more frustrated that a nonblk person could probably copyright the word before our community would get the chance.

And fuck the system, yes, but honestly I was mad at that specific act of racism. What we make is for everyone, and not our own.

They better reject Kim’s application too

Imagine the ego to even attempt to trademark a word from a different culture.

[analievelyn]
