Unlike Beyonce, Rihanna is not seen as a representative of black America

That's why she matters less than Beyonce + why she doesn't get the same protection as Beyonce

By being the Sidney Poitier of her time (ie being a black American who meets white standards of approval), Beyonce is set in a way Rihanna will never be

I realized this while reading the book The Dinner during the chapter on racism and fake white support of blacks

Angelina really is one of the prettiest women in the world

The Weeknd is coming with the b0ps too. Both The Hills and Can't Feel My #1 are 11/10. He is kind of the male Michael Jackson

Poor OMO.

Beyonce will be a legend. It's stupid but so is GP.
