lol “the salsa”

Because he built a $300M fortune rapping about how much he loves having sex with different types of women, and how much they like having sex with him, and how he’s bombarded by so many sexual offers he has to pass young women off to friends like he’s re-gifting fruitcakes at Christmas. So maybe not too many people are…

I don’t care about her. She seems like a vain, selfish idiot. But I do care about any woman receiving physical threats online—including, but not limited to—the threat of having her hair ripped out. I really wish people had stuck to: “You’re an asshole.” Or “here are a thousand angry cartoon bees.”

I completely agree w/ this. It was so tacky and stupid (and, frankly, kind of cruel). Even if the reference wasn’t directed towards Roy—her comment was mocking and capitalizing on another woman’s pain. I do feel awful for her that valid criticism devolved into physcial threats—including, from what I saw, suggestions…

my problem is with people like you, who is perfectly find with Western culture being spread and shared around the world. but if it goes the opposite way have a mental break down

It may not seem like it around these parts but everyone didn’t actually immediately watch Lemonade. I watched it on Sunday and didn’t catch that line at all, I didn’t know about it until the Roy witch hunt had already begun. And I don’t at all think that it’s outside the realm of possibility that someone would play on…

It is treated as a style of dance for the competition. Just as Argentinian dancers are not (necessarily) flown in to perform the Argentinian tango, and Spanish dancers are not imported to perform the pasodoble, etc. Hope this helps.

I am failing to understand how this is offending the great people of India. This is making Bollywood dancing more mainstream, is that a problem? I am pretty sure some folks in some part of the non-western world would appreciate having their exotic dance be part of a major show in the US, just like white people have…

I don’t have HBO so I haven’t seen it, but from the conversations I’ve read I assumed the entire album was about Becky With the Good Hair.

So for all the talk of black girl magic, of Tamir, Freddy and their mothers, the value of black women...this is the legacy of Lemonade? Tell me I am wring, but then tell me what they conversation has been, what’s dominated the headlines...especially here. For all the talk of her blood and sweat and the significance of…

Has anyone considered that the poor woman was probably just having a good hair day and that the world doesn’t actually revolve around Bey Z?

Funny how she’s getting threats but Jay-Z just gets a bunch of ribbing memes. Now I wonder why that is...?

I don’t really care about her but they beyhive does need to stop bullying and harassing her daughter. It doesn’t matter what the woman did, there is no excuse to start attacking her daughter.

As an ostensibly white person who has ALWAYS (like dating back to childhood) had an interest in other cultures, it just confuses and bums me out that it’s 100 percent of the time a witch hunt. Like was I racist at 6 years old for wearing a kimono my grandfather got from japan in World War Two? I don’t know. I get…

So would there ever be a way for a white artist to incorporate elements of another non white culture that isn’t appropriation? Let’s be really optimistic and assume the aforementioned white artist has a long term interest in this culture, has visited its homeland, and they are aware of the context of any symbols they…

Okay- can you articulate the difference in one or two sentences? Because everyone seems to have a different line when it comes to cultural appropriation. Why is someone not allowed to be genuinely interested and transformed by another culture? I get that they may be visually indistinguishable from people who just…

I’m from India and while I don’t speak for all Indians, I think you’re welcome to. Honestly most Indian people are delighted that foreigners would like to dress up in traditional Indian wear. A lot of that delight does come from the fact that India suffers from a serious colonial hangover where being “white”-like and…

I will never understand why everyone is so against sharing of cultures. That is the best way to combat racism. What if this got a some kids to be interested in Indian culture? Why is that a bad thing? Mixing of cultures is one of the most important things societies have ever done.
