Miel 15,009 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 The historical context of Black people, especially Black children, being used and referred to as "the help" is the particular issue that most people are seeing. Not just a Black child being in subservience. It was common rhetoric to refer to a lot of People of Color as "the help" (whether they were actually working or not) in the United States, up until even the 1960's. Hell, some still use it now. That said, this was totally unintentional. That's her daughter, right? I can see why people would internally react the way they are (specifically towards the term "helper"), but there definitely was no ill to this. Madonna isn't that stupid. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "problem" comes from y'all people's heads and should leave her and her children alone What's wrong with the girl's dress again?

FATCAT 59,945 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 If the little boy/girl was wearing something that didn't look like it came from the 1800's, nothing would seem off about this pic. That being said, I can see why people are squirming over it, but it's definitely just a messy visual that has no stake in reality. Fake outrage over this pic, and fake outrage over fake outrage is useless. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
