"kidness" is only useful when shown towards the opressed and when joined by action. This is exactly what I'm hoping for but elevating the voices of black content creators with her platform in the meanwhile would make so much more sense, even if she is busy working up something right now. I mean, Gaga aligned her brand with being an ally, being kind and preaching about equality. Her not using her platform in these troubled times is a bit disappointing All we need is love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her not using her platform in these troubled times is a bit disappointing People on twitter are acting like we're asking so much for a multimillionaire to open her purse. I believe Gaga's heart is in the right place, and I know she cares and is scared, too. But for someone who aligns themself as an advocate for equality and equity, she needs to do more. Period.

But I'm ashamed that she hasn't been more vocal about donations for bail outs and food/water for protestors. I understand and respect that she is at-risk for a serious COVID-19 infection, but I expect more from her. She's worth several hundreds of millions. Either she starts supporting monetarily, or she's complicit. Yes, we're really at that point. #LadyGagaOpenYourPurseChallenge After One World Together At Home she's made it clear that she will never ask her fans for money and she shouldn't have to. She's a millionaire, she's got more money to donate than all her fans together. And I'm sure she is doing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Eyes 2,279 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 And ya know what, I'll just say it -- We can enjoy the album, and we should take time to care for our minds and souls. If music helps, go for it. But shame on anyone who is buying extra copies or spending hours streaming when people are dying in the streets for your freedom.

No, she should do that because her net worth is greater than 99% of humanity and she promotes herself as an ally. Nice straw man, though. Good to see you'll rush to the defense of a wealthy white woman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needs to flaunt it? You want this wealthy white woman, whose fans may or may not be able to eat an adequate meal tonight, to encourage her fans to donate when she can donate more than all of them combined?

Girl did you pass elementary school? Can you read? I want her - the woman worth 300 million dollars - to act right now. I LITERALLY said she needs to open her purse. STOP misrepresenting what I said.
