It means that people should know the history and culture surrounding Kipling and The Jungle Book, simple as that.

...you have no idea what “context” means, do you? It means, we should know the history and culture surrounding something even when we read or watch it. It’s Reading Comprehension 101 - you better understand something the more you know about the context in which it was written.

Apparently Taylor is signed to Sony as well and has yet to say ANYTHING regarding the Kesha fiasco sooooo.... I sure as hell hope to god that it is shade.

Perhaps Beyoncé too?
