It's Dolce, so no surprise.

Well, she's just as messy as any other middle-aged person using technology 

[Boyboi12 2,125]

That is troublesome to the naked eye! But that’s her daughter, so what’s wrong with her helping her mother.

None of which point to anything racial or problematic

Its normal for a mom to call one of her kids a helper and she happened to adopt black children

Helper is a job title used in the cooking world on a daily basis. There is litterally nothing to be offended about.

People are getting offended for the sake of it and it's starting to annoy me. I'm glad this twitter woke-ism hasn't reached France.

"The Help" has a very heavy history in how it was used in the United States. Don't undermine that- the whole world still has incredible problems with racism.

But, like I said, that is probably why people mistook it as a racist statement, even though we all know full and well that Madonna didn't intend that as such.

The icing on the ignorance cake is that her daughter is dressed eerily similar to a slave/house maid from the 19th century

Just a mess all around

Black domestic workers in white households isn't something that happened 300 years ago that we all need to forget about...this was going on in the 1950s/60s. That's our parents' lifetimes. It's not something that can easily be erased from cultural memory.

Oh man, they won't understand why it can be insensitive, you are wasting your time (I think that colorblindness bullsh*t is a big part of it)

even though I don't think she's racist, she's just ignorant and I swear I cringe

Thank you both.

Yes, Madonna's post isn't racist.

HOWEVER, it is very much worth it for everybody to understand at least why some people took it as racist. It's a very good history lesson that everybody, ESPECIALLY BUT NOT JUST AMERICANS (!!!), should know about.

The problem is ... you can't tell me when to feel offended and when not to because you are not walking in my shoes, don't know what I go through every single day of my life and how it feels. And as long as some people don't know that, this problem will never be solved. Avoiding the subject won't make it disappear.

Absolutely. I think there's a lack of understanding that you can both acknowledge that Madonna's post wasn't racist, and understand why and how it could have been perceived as racist. Simply dismissing it as "SJW's overreacting" is irresponsible, dangerous, and ultimately a part of the larger common paradigm of slipping things under the rug.

And I'm also glad you brought up you can't tell me when to feel offended and when not to because you are not walking in my shoes, don't know what I go through every single day of my life and how it feels, because it is so important for all peoples, those who experience more social oppression and those who don't, to understand critically and empathetically the experiences of disenfranchised communities.

Some people run when you start talking about race (because sometimes it makes them feel uncomfortable but that's not a reason). It is important that we have conversations about it and be totally honest and stop judging because again you don't know. And that first sentence comes from my heart because I do know how it feels to be made feel less than (it was while studying in a European country) and I wouldn't wish that for anyone, even my enemy. That's why some of the things that I've read here and on the other thread today really broke my heart. But I'll never lose hope because we will stand tall and we will continue to talk about this.

What is wrong with you people. Its a child and her mother. Every kid who helps their mother in the kitchen is referred to as my little helper. 

If Madonna is labeled as racist than I must be on the same level as satan or the KKK because this woman has ****ing built a hospital in Africa and donated thousands of dollars and time to helping the people of Africa. I have done absolutely nothing. Yeah she’s so racist....

[Whispering 18,865]

I can see where people could be offended on first look.

Having said that, I believe it's simply an innocent picture of a mother and a daughter.
