This is a great point. Admittedly, I’ve never thought about it from this perspective, but it’s so true. I guess I just assumed there were existing penalties for this?

Exactly. Great post!

Yes! I think that's exactly it and I seriously love it, too. She's gone a bit political and the music is still good, too.

“I don’t mind when pop singers perform the national anthem in their style. I just don’t like when they black it up.”

Exactly. You can’t be proud and you can’t speak about any injustices made towards minorities. It makes them uncomfortable.

Omg, this was amazing. I don’t know how I could’ve forgotten this piece of pure magic.

I dunno, I feel like for a long while Beyonce was an “acceptable” black and then this album came out and people realized that she viewed herself as a genuine black woman. Apparently that was just too much for them.

Yes! Truth.

If we can afford to spend as much as we do on our military, we should be able to afford this as well.

Great posts.

Fantastic post. Seriously.

I feel like the gay relationships definitely took a backseat compared to the straight ones, but that may have just been due to which characters were gay. Actually, I’m sure that’s why. They were just kind of sprinkled in. I enjoyed them, though.

I was expecting more gayness from it, personally. It’s still good, though. Much drama.

Love you for the Hey Arnold reference.

Lol bless him, indeed.

He’s not wrong. It’s all theater to an extent.

It seriously does haha.

Curious as to where you live. Here in Atlanta it can be really spotty. I see it on pickup trucks every so often and there’s a super old guy that religiously jogs through Grant Park with a giant Confederate flag. It’s still pretty rare overall, though.

He also voiced the Giant in The Iron Giant. I mean, come on, guys.

Yeah, I’m actually a pretty open-minded individual (I know everyone says that, but I actually mean it), but some things aren’t worth discussing. Women are just as capable as men. Done. Giving people room to voice thoughts like this doesn’t help anyone.
