I'm not interested in policing Rihanna. I dont think anything about her hair or clothes is disrespectful to the award she was given. The point of the zero fucks comment is that she does what she likes not what everyone else likes.

Additionally, the capitalist system promotes stereotypes when it comes to POC because that is what the mainstream audience wants and will consume. Black artists who produce outside-the-steretypical-box material are not supported by the recording industry. The problem for me is when white artists, who are given MUCH…

I think there is a group of people out there that really really want to believe the response that Kanye gets from the rest of the country is just about racism. Kanye has convinced himself of this and he would like the rest of us to believe it.

agreed

Sorry but how the fuck are you getting this LOL what was the lyric?? "My bitch asked me what I want for christmas and I said more bitches" Really? you equate this with the "trials and cultural struggles of POC"??

I think its kindof awesome and hilarious that so many people disapprove of a wrap hair style. I also think thats why she did it. she gives zero fucks :)

I would say this is one of his worst songs. I cant stand him as a person but he is a talented musician.

I already said I speak from personal experience and game parks are highly regulated in Tanzania. You are making hugely broad and incorrect assumptions about the level of regulation based off of zero first hand knowledge.

Exactly, I'm sick and tired of people defending this douchebag and giving his bullshit media attention! Thats the only reason he is doing this shit. As long as the media is paying attention he will keep acting like this. Dear Jez, Kanye and Kim are both assholes, stop giving them what they want.

in what delusional world were Kanye and the President ever friends??? Kanye makes many ridiculous claims, this one is probably the least believable.

ok so you are conflating different issues.

"online retailers who sell elephant hides like Roje Exotic American Leathers, equate elephant culling in Africa to “deer hunting season in the United States.”

My grandparents have this exact sentiment for THEIR OWN generation. They cant wait for their generation to be dead and gone because they believe this country will be better off. I agree with them.

The fact is that the majority of people on welfare are white, but the narrative has ALWAYS been extremely racially coded. So when white women vote republican they feel safe because they think they are voting their race not their gender IMO. The married women also feel protected by patriarchy and white supremacy and…

ugh god, you are a miserable person...is it so hard to say "oh... that was sweet"??

watched the entire thing start to finish. the convo was amazing, funny, deeply inspiring!

Slumming plain and simple. Dont do it girl, dont do it

Ugh this was so white-washed I was almost blinded. People have been policing Cyrus's behavior for like 5 min. Can we discuss how someone like Beyonce was policed and called a 'bad role model' after her halftime performance in which she was the first artist ever to feature an all-female show. She was amazing and…

I grew up in Kansas City and as a Black person, this type of racist bullshit is why I left there as soon as I could and never looked back. Best decision I ever made.

Yep, I have to say as a Black woman, while I'm happy the conversation is happening, but this debate has annoyed me from the beginning for this exact reason. I'm also not a fan of requiring token Black cast members to carry the weight of diversifying the show on their shoulders alone. As the article says, if the next…
