lego 44,165 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Back at the hotel, and still winging it, I’m recalling my memories of Rihanna’s social feeds from the past three years. Many of the greatest hits concern politics. When a journalist tweeted that Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” was blaring at a Trump rally last year, Rihanna replied, “Not for much longer. . . .” I especially relished her response when, under a post encouraging her followers to vote in the midterms, someone asked, “Are you even a US citizen? Honest curiosity.” Rihanna: “Nah I’m an immigrant tryna get yo country together. Did u vote?” __ Trump called the El Paso shooting “an act of cowardice” and said both were the result of a “mental illness problem.” Rihanna responded, “Um . . . Donald, you spelled terrorism wrong!” I ask Rihanna how she felt on the day after the back-to-back shootings. “It is devastating,” she says. “People are being murdered by war weapons that they legally purchase. This is just not normal. That should never, ever be normal. And the fact that it’s classified as something different because of the color of their skin? It’s a slap in the face. It’s completely racist.” She goes on: “Put an Arab man with that same weapon in that same Walmart and there is no way that Trump would sit there and address it publicly as a mental health problem. The most mentally ill human being in America right now seems to be the president.” Thinking of a certain T-shirt from Fenty’s second drop—it says IMMIGRANT across the back, and Rihanna wore it on the Fourth of July.. ___ Rihanna cracks open her clutch, pulls out her phone, and plays a news clip. It’s the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Ken Cuccinelli, saying on CNN that Emma Lazarus’s Statue of Liberty poem refers to “people coming from Europe.” She stops the video. “Think about this. What does America stand for? A bunch of immigrants.” We watch the clip to the end. “The fact that his defense was talking about Europeans coming into America?” Rihanna says. “I mean, not only were you immigrants, you were the worst kind. You came in and murdered the real Americans.” ___ FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 She's right. The NFL has white supremacists/criminals/etc playing right now and yet can't have Kaepernick? It's pathetic. It's like with the Bush/Ellen stuff. We can't just forget the past and act like nothing happened. The NFL played a huge role in the rise of Trump and many other social issues and playing into their hands for their own profit just isn't it right now. So happy with her decision.

River 90,997 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 She's pretty active politically, especially about the problems in Africa but somehow it goes under the radar. And I always forget that she's not from the US, she doesn't even have a green card, only o-1 visa.

Gagaism 8,605 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Kind OT but I just remembered when she bashed ppl on Victoria’s Secret because of that transgender subject and then, she got the Savage Fenty fashion show which was amazing. What about she create her own halftime show or whatever? Queen is her own business indeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmo 76,622 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Then write your own music ... I mean there’s a lot of way in which she can be considered a sell out for her to be this... brave.... Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jeans 3,815 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 She kinda dissed Jay-Z and i'm shook But Rihanna made several points Destiny is for losers.

Many legendary singers are not songwritters. (Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, Diana Ross and many others) She doesn't need to write her own songs to be considered a good artist. She has a good ear for hits and her talent is singing among many others. Destiny is for losers.
