She can talk about this, of course, has done it before, in an interview where she said "you can work so hard, and still lose!" and in that context it worked, but here it was kinda irky, to say "not winning a Grammy you're nominated for" is "rejection". And yet you chose to focus on the ONLY part that didnt set well with you. If only you applied Gaga's words of kindness. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this thread was about Katy Perry or Justin Timberlake or Ed Sheeran, would you jump straight into defensive mode and say I'm tearing down 'white people'? If the answer is no, then what made you think this was about race? Maybe it's not that complicated as you thought?

You completely missed the point. I was trying to say that your 'defence' was selective in nature, you only choose people you wish to defend but you wouldn't defend everyone. If I made the same thread on Katy, Timberlake and Sheeran, you wouldn't do the same for them because they're not black. In that case, the problem lies with the beholder, which is you.

Racists love to flip the table around and ask "what if it was a white person". All I know so far is that this thread is about someone complaining that a Black woman finds that losing 64 times a grammy is bad. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's saying that if she cared that if you do it for the accolades you'll never find the strenght to keep going because rejection is a part of it.

Uh no, if Gaga or Eminem or Adele said this i’d say the same thing — if gaga said this it would’ve been the new “100 people in a room” meme quote and people all over the forum would be saying “weird flex but go off” lmao. It’s a ridiculous flex for ANYONE to say, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
