It's INSANE.


Two thoughts:

1.) Black Instagram Babies (BIB for short) would be a catchy band name.

2.) At this point, I think I might be more comforted by finding out Jen doesn't believe anything she says and is completely playing her audience than I would believing she's in earnest when she says stuff like that.

exactly - it’s as if she is telling everyone to unfollow her


Advice we should take (although I am already not following, just on this thread) , instead of seeing her Melani wanna be content, we can all follow the actual talented Miss Melani (who I do love, but not in huge doses).

I can’t wait until this thread reaches 1,000 pages and then Jeff will finally put it out of its misery.

"White people, come here, let me help you right quick."

No thanks, Tyler.

Sis, that’s why I unfollowed YOU.


Now Big Sass is railing against black people with a huge white following??? That’s how he purposely curated his feed! You’re not ranting about other people, Sir. It’s YOU.
Are these two the least self aware people on the planet?!


Of the tiny amount of people who bought Big Sass' books I bet 80% were white women.

I only see a Jen Hatmaker post every few months, but I saw the "I only watch Black influencers" one, and that was plenty. So patronizing!

Awake came out in late September 2025.

Best Sellers Rank: #5,917 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)

Jen's last three books have been "manifestos". Of Mess and Moxie, Fierce Free and Full of Shit, and Awake.

Do publishers want to partner with her for another "manifesto"? It's not like the book industry is flush with profits these days.

What's Jen's plan for the next five years? More of the same with maybe one more cookbook?

How bleak.

Jen's white saviorism, paternalistic and performative Black History posts are so cringe. It's more about HER than her supposed target. Get of my internets, Jen!

So according to Jen there is “black laughter”, “black hijinks”, “black tomfoolery”, “black nonsense” and “black shenanigans” but no such think as “black history” (you dummies)

Not only that, but they almost certainly follow content from black people who are pushing a certain ideological perspective. I wonder if they're even aware that black people, like all real people, are individuals with various thoughts and opinions on various matters.
