i wish someone would make a study/graph of all the black artists and white artists she's featured on this tour as well as previous tours, abd her twitter promotion of then. And then make a comparison chart vs other main pop girls and guys promotion of black and white artists.
also, why is only Taylor singled put and judged for who she promotes and features.
I bet she has promoted and tweeted more support for all artists white and black than someone like Beyonce or Katy or virtually any other big main pop girl or guy.

No, but seriously don't mind those people, I mean over half of the 1989 World Tour special guests were black or featured a black person, not to mention other minorities, and she always tweets sweet things about them afterwards. Her saying sorry to Nicki (undeserved, but that's another subject) and performing with her, is also showing this support.
And like you said, why single out Taylor, just because she is white and on top of the world, doesn't mean she gets other standards as other pop girls/people. I really feel like Taylor is the kind of person who understands equality, that it is knowing someone has a different skin colour, but doesn't think anything of it. Look at her dancers, her friends, plenty of black and white people and they are not there, because she needs a colour quota, but because they are people she want to hang out with. And it's huge part of why I love her
I'm getting so sick of the entire discussion on the most silliest things, which only will cause that racism won't be taken seriously when it's really needed, like the boys who screamed fire. Hollywood and the western media are part to blame to make it seem like these sort of things are the biggest problems in the world right now, but I can remember a time, where it was important as a celebrity to go (to another country) to fight for huge problems like AIDS and child soldiers, and although it often was for publicity, the world looked at them and listened. Now it is more about people complaining behind their computers about the little things, like Taylor not supporting enough black artists. It's really sad tbh.
I could rant about this all day, but let me not, since this is the Taylor base. I'm just saying let them keep ranting, they don't have anything substantial to go on, and although there are some issues, she is still a little ignorant on, so is everybody else, so only people who already hate her, will pay this any sort of attention.
I don't care if it'd flop.
