The bozos in here acting like Beatrice is some kind of Stepin Fetchit are the real problem. Get shit to do, you fucking cornballs. Urtripping has dismantled all of your paper-thin arguments with facts and logic. He doesn't have to say another thing.

No he hasn't. Only a couple of voices in here even matter and they hold more weight than a stereotypical males opinion.

You’re annoying

Also, from what I understand she doesn't have a full part in this Keepsake vid, just clips... that's gonna go over so well here I'm sure hahaha

Okay I promise I’ll shut up until it’s out.. but I just want to bump this post.  She says she has a part in Keepsake, some sources are saying otherwise.  If she has a minute or less footage, does that count as a part?  Does she deserve to be called out for claiming it one?

Also, her saying it’s “the first of many” opens up a whole new discussion.. no skater knows how long they’ll be on the board, so it’s a tad presumptuous at best.  And what if that turns out to be untrue and she doesn’t drastically increase her productivity?  Does she deserve to be called out for that?

This isn’t about her skill level, but at what point does it become justified to critique someone for making potentially false claims?  Or is that perpetually regarded as hating or pocket checking?

[close]

I'm not the most reputable source, as I can't even find the Instagram post I remember seeing AND it wasn't crystal clear even from that post if her part is "full" or not. But I'll try to answer your questions. My apologies if this is too annoying or dense for some of you guys, but it will be my last post in this thread (I mean it this time. Shit's been bad for my health lol).

I'd say that if her clips don't live up to certain standards, it's fair enough to call her naive to some unrwitten rules in skateboarding. I would rightly expect many to hesitate to call her footage a "part" if it amounts to less than a minute of screen time. Although, I also think it's more than fair to mind that these standards have had decades to develop, and that men have had decades to progress to a point where they can live up to them. Black women have not had a real solid opportunity to catch up yet, as their participation is relatively new and currently limited in number... A fair point to acknowledge, yes?

If it then later turns out that she doesn't live up to her claim of putting out many more parts in the future, I think it'd be fair to critique the fact that she didn't back that big claim up. No doubt about it! Yet, I ALSO think it would be fair to acknowledge the fact that Beatrice ever being in a position to put out widely seen parts is noteworthy and progressive for skateboarding. This is clear when considering the current and historic lack of representation for black women in the industry, mentioned earlier. Justified claim?

You see, I think there have been plenty of critiques treated with fairness in this thread. The refusal by some to recognize any kind of significance in her career is what's unfair, in my opinion... I'll add that I also think it's unfair to attack a person's character when they get defensive online after being harassed across platforms, despite their being some fair critiques of particular comments (iphone screen).

But wait, why I think that it doesnt do justice to future female/black female skaters to claim that she's setting the bar too low for them, right? And how it's unfair/reductive to past and present minority skaters to claim that skateboarding is post racial and purely colorblind? Doesn't that take away from their achievements by retroactively erasing very real barriers created by the white majority in America that are bigger than skateboarding and affect even the most progressive spaces? I think it's fair to keep that in mind, too, unless you don't believe in those boundaries... or if you truly just feel like skateboarding has been that radically accepting of those other than white men that it defies them. In which case... agree to disagree.

Say that again in 3 sentences max and maybe I’ll read it.

Apparently it’s monumental enough that a black woman would ever skateboard that we should not measure her against other female skaters (or I guess black male skaters ability to excel regardless of societal disadvantages) bc that would do a disservice to the groundbreaking work she is doing by just being sponsored

[close]

Ok, VERY last post. Show me where I said this, anywhere in this post or any prior posts. I'd genuinely like to know if I mistakenly implied that (I do remember writing that I personally think Samarria is more deserving of such a huge career, but my posts are dense and annoying so I don't blame you).

With regards to comparing her to black male skaters who made it despite societal disadvantages, my only argument has been that it's fucking sick they've had such huge impacts despite being excluded for decades. The only comparison I've truly made comes in my last post, where I mentioned that black women are newer to skating and less active in number than men (including black men and other males belonging to minority groups), so the level hasnt wuite caught up YET. Again, is that not true? Should it be completely disregarded when making these comparisons, in your opinion? What I'm saying is compare, but compare without ignoring context, or claiming "it's just the skating."

[close]

I guess in singling out black women as not having time to catch up implies they are on a different track than other women skaters who have caught up an surpassed her in the time she’s been sponsored.

Look at Rayssa Leal. From Brazil which is a poorer country than the USA. Almost half the age of Beatrice. One's doing 5050 FS shove out on a ledge and the other is doing BS lip down Hollywood 16

None of this goes any deeper than selling products to teenage girls. Some of you guys thought process are legitimately crazy.

Her new part will have a bs 360 Japan air over a dumpster of toxic masculinity but it will be filmed by Strobeck, which leaves room for denial of said trick. More controversy is generated, sales boom, 5050’s get front shoved, etc. This is all part of the Vans comeback scheme as drafted by AI.

I stand by my usage.  Her detractors’ energy would be better spent examining their own flaws and inadequacies.  Otherwise she’s just gonna transmute it.

And she does but there's nothing wrong about sucking at skating. "Problem" here is her corny ass attitude that feels like borderline lack of respect for skateboarding itself. + Nobody likes a dick and her attitude and everything gives that strong feeling.

This is a genuine question not meant to insult you or make fun of you, sleepy:

How old are you? What is your general age range?

Why, you want to engage in ad hominem attacks based on whether I'm too young to know better or too old to have a valid opinion on a skater who's a grown, almost 30 year old woman? It shouldn't matter how old I am.

He's asking a genuine question. I think it is because you are coming off as quite combative and a little immature, and honestly reminded me of a teenager.

Nobody is trying to police your opinions or anything, just maybe tone it down a bit, its coming off a bit aggressive and has a lot of "you can't tell me what to do you're not my real dad" vibes when some posters are trying to engage you amicably.

I think Sleepy's attitude's been fine. Yall just don't want a woman's opinion. Maybe take some of the insane slack yall throw beatrice and throw it her way.

Nah that was definitely condescending as hell. If you gotta preface something with “not trying to insult you” it’s already not off to a great start.
