Antwaun Sargent, a writer and critic who interviewed Solange after her film When I Get Home's debut live-stream on Black Planet , made note of the rise in the ‘Black Yeehaw’ aesthetic on Twitter with a now-viral thread.

This has kind-of been in the culture for a long time, but now people are celebrating it. It had been something had been purposefully erased from African-American culture.”
