But black people are being discriminated against by whites and someone should speak up! But not a white person because they might make money if they do. It does seem like a confusing train of thought, let me tell you. i had this thought too. because sadly the media isnt going to listen to a black man. good thought WELCOME TO THE TRAGIC KINGDOM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than saying nothing and ignoring the real issues. When he rapped "Same Love" you were down on your knees for him, because it affected you. Now he's rapping about other real issues, but you are offended because he dissed your fave? Miley and Iggy are not only untalented, but also racists. I could give you 100 receipts for both arguments, but I'm on mobile. Bye. Miley is good friends with, Mike will, big sean, pharrell, snoop, so on and so forth. You need to re-evaluate your definition of racism my dear. She may not be the most pc person to ever exist but just calling her racist is incorrect. --- Haven't listened to the song yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Hate that Macklemore will probably be crucified for it because he's white and trying to use his fame for good. Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shouldn't he be allowed to be part of a certain conversation, especially since he's also been accused of being white while rapping? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people in the movement have said, they don't want white people speaking for them. There is a way to be part of the discussion without exploiting it. It has nothing to do with "sitting on the sidelines", a line he implanted into this song to justify his money grab. which dumbass said that? white on white discussion is better than white on black, bc white people be like "why are y'all so angry?" whatever "exploitation" he did, he brought light to this, and that's all that's matters.

It's actually ridiculous. How have we got to the point in the racism discussion where we can't even do...anything really. You keep quiet? You're bad. You speak up? You're bad. It makes no sense.

Selling "music" has nothing to do with discussing social issues.

It does seem like he's frustrating a lot of people. But the song can be part of the discussion. Don't like him throwing other artists under the bus though.

I don't think we'll ever know if he's doing this for attention and money or because he cares, but I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he's trying to raise awareness. I still don't like him throwing other people under the bus who are in similar positions. Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I mean, hes literally checking his privilege, so I applaud that It would be better to use his privilege to amplify the voices of other people, but i mean hes still spreading the word so i dont really fault him... its more because of his celebrity than because he personally chooses to speak himself I'd assume. White Privilege Part I was basically "We've stolen this culture, so where do I fit in?" and it seemed an open ended question, I never really heard a resolution of any kind But I digress, He's a good ally even if hes sometimes problematic. At least he acknowledges that there are problems at all to discuss, unlike most of America or in general people who "love black people" and "aren't racists" and think "we are all one race, focusing on race and playing the race card only divides us!"

Dark Anatomy 2,284 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yes, because remember when he exploited the LGBT community with that disgusting song about supporting gay rights? Yeah, you don't, because he didn't and it only bothers you when he uses his privilege to support other things. (And no little pressters, my comment wasn't homophobic, it's called sarcasm. Lol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
