Guest Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I would agree with her, BUT no where does Beyoncé say that Becky is a white woman. Becky could be short for Rebecca and black women can be called Rebecca too. Also, why do people say stuff like "don't say that with your background" when she is learning and correcting herself? She is obviously aware of what she did in the past and is now making up for it. We shouldn't be judging that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 So...Iggy just doesn't want to be called Becky. This really doesn't have anything to do with Beyonce's song. Wasn't Beyonce referring to an Indian woman anyhow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are white people's opinions never valid to you? Are black women the only ones who deserve support? Fair enough, until you find out that most people consider it to be a white girl's name, just like other similar names. I remember watching an episode of Tyra Banks where she asked a group of people to voice their perception of someone just based on their name alone, no visuals. When the name Ashleigh came up, almost everyone, including white people, said that they thought this was a white, blue-eyed, blonde girl and that she was spoiled, dumb and promiscuous. They also thought Deedrica was a black woman who was sassy and promiscuous and that Jose was a Mexican drug dealer. Now, obviously, that's just this small group of people. But I think it gives a glimpse into how judgemental we can be, even when it comes to something as apparently irrelevant as a name. So, I'm not taking this Becky thing lightly. If we go lightly, the name can gain status, it can spread and gain acceptance just because it's a term for whites, who can't be hurt, or so we're led to believe. If we just dismiss it, we're complicit in it. I see. I, personally, don't find it cute to refer to people of a race by a stereotypical name. I'd never see an Asian woman and refer to her as "Mai ling." I just don't want Becky to be seen as a white name because I don't believe names hold color if that makes any sense lmao idk. Side note- Deedrica is a tragic name lmao May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magneto 13,442 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Just now, Hecturr said: why wouldn't she be? Because she keeps endangering her own career with these kinds of risky tweets (I'm still not picking sides). Most labels would revoke the right to her own Twitter.
