Get the selective cheeringmug. Describes an individual who engages with Black identity, culture, or community on a conditional basis—supporting aspects that align with their comfort, image, or personal gain while distancing from deeper commitments that require solidarity, sacrifice, or accountability. Often expressed through an “à la carte” mindset, this approach embraces certain expressions of Blackness while neglecting or excluding others—particularly at the intersections of queerness, disability, and marginalized gender identities. It reflects a curated connection to Blackness that prioritizes optics over liberation, and preference over principle.
The everyday use of “Black pride” on social media, while dismissing the struggles of Black LGBTQIA+ folks, revealed a Selective Black mindset—an à la carte approach to identity that prioritizes aesthetics over collective liberation.

Get the Selective Blackmug. The horribly outdated and tacky way newbie photographers show off their brand new editing skill. Editing a photograph so that a part of it is in color and the rest is in black and white. While this edit does work in some rare occasions, selecting parts of the photo with no relevance adds to the hatred of this dying fad.
...Then she asked the photographer to edit her kids jeans using selective color. What is so special about those jeans, and why do they need to outshine her darling children?

Get the Selective colormug. A tactic employed by certain politicians and groups that want to push their political agendas where that group or politician will say and or do certain things related to supporting or opposing specific issues in order to get certain types of reactions from particular populations, interest groups, and or, in some cases, other politicians. They usually do this to get more votes from different populations in society, or to get more financial and or political support from particular interest groups.
Natasha: I heard Senator Murkowski recently gave a speech on how they supported efforts of oil companies to begin drilling in certain parts of Alaska. I’m not sure why she would give a speech like that when she supports moving the country towards using renewable energy sources to prevent climate change, which negatively impacts many populations in her state. I could cost her their support down the line.
Ronald: She maybe employing selective political pressure in order to get more support from certain oil companies and specific Native American communities by appearing to support an issue they care about.
