Head-weaving tantrum is a pretty good description of this and many other incidents just like it, probably because black rage if profitable to media/entertainment & black people get rewarded for it by that industry. Terrible behavior like this is common among mostly black people in the business and if it was done by anyone else there would be blood in the streets. Not all black people do it but when it happens there it is often them doling it out.

Josh, I actually teared up when you read the longform Twitter post at the end. As you know from our consulting sessions (talk to Josh-worth every penny y'all), I am forced by circumstances to undergo similar behavioral changes--far too late in life--and it is almost physically painful but necessary. I recognize that the poster breaks the rules of certain socially prescribed female behavior, but I'm sure many men are going through the process in their own way. It is really devastating to witness the end of the good, honorable person, who is now forced to mirror narcissistic behavior back at the broken world, but we have no choice. We have to put up the walls to save ourselves. And, like you, I am not optimistic about where this is headed. Thanks again.
