Babel 41,431 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 What a skewed comment. People are protesting in Ferguson right now over the rampant killing of black youths by overzealous cops as we speak. There's a huge biopic about MLK's advocacy on the way (title is "Selma") that is both poignant and incisive. This is Madonna's way of getting brownie points by looking "progressive" in the tackiest, most out-of-touch way imaginable and is in no way comparable to Gaga using imagery of human rights advocates and other icons in her GUY video - they were there to represent the positive aspects of humanity, they were not there to represent Gaga. It might be remotely comparable if Gaga had been promoting Born This Way with imagery of MLK, Rosa Parks or Maya Angelou, thus appropriating their struggles to further her own goals (ideology-wise or commercially). This is a very rich woman - with a checkered past when it comes to race - endorsing pictures of people who are/were leading a movement that is a very hot topic right now and letting fans put five minutes of effort into defacing them so they can serve as fodder to further her flimsy "rebel" message (and promote her upcoming album that contains no social commentary whatsoever). It's lazy, intellectually disingenuous and an entirely predictable Madonna-esque thing to do. It is just as thoughtless as when Apple did their "Think Different" commercials. Sites that concern themselves with racism and racial issues in pop culture are rightly lambasting her for this move. And don't forget: this is a person who casually called her son the n-word just a few months ago on Instagram and then did a sorry-not-sorry fauxpology afterwards. And to other people who are trotting out the age-old "Everybody gets so easily offended nowadays", remember: "I am not pissed therefore there is no problem and you have no right to be pissed either" is the language of the entitled and the privileged. This is the most intelligent post in the entire thread. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Gangsta 6,693 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Btw, how is this disrespectful? Get off the Madonna hate bandwagon, you all look like fools. This. Gaga used Ghandi and Jesus for GUY promo and noone ciriticized that. Im sick of this fanbase coming for every Katy's and Madonnna's move. Grow up allready.

Sister 9,907 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 No. I do not feel that she is going too far. I just hope that she has a strong enough message in the music not to be too trite, to go along with all of this. If these are just hip club bangers and all too superficial, I feel it will all fall flat and not be a strong moment for her.Although, I do always love Madonna. I just want more from her, something mature and strong, timeless, like the people of all of these images. The future's uncertain and the end is always near.
