Celeb News: Cosmo goes political on Kanye Taylor drama

Schoolin' Life

Who would have thought?

Stop Saying There Are "More Important Things to Worry About" Than the #KimExposedTaylorParty

Of course there are — but this "petty" celeb fight also isn't as petty as you think.

Quote:

While much of the internet joined Kim and Kanye on their celebratory ultra-light beam and waited eagerly for commentary from the likes of Swift enemies Katy Perry and Calvin Harris, the tea was clearly a little too hot and bitter for some celebrities, who sanctimoniously pointed out that there are bigger problems in the world for us to focus on than a silly spat between famous people.

Quote:

They could also be talking about the coup in Turkey or the mess of a Republican National Convention — take your pick. But if BLM is one of the "more important things" these righteous celebrities are asking us to turn our attention to, they're right to do so: the movement is incredibly important. But it's also not unrelated to what's playing out here in La La Land, where an "angry" black man has been accused of bullying a white "victim" for years.

Quote:

Americans have been conditioned to see black men as threatening for generations, and the consequences of this conditioning range from a pop starlet being able to paint a rapper as a villain for nearly a decade because she feels "bullied" to police officers shooting unarmed men in front of convenience stores because they felt "unsafe." Obviously Kanye's feud with Taylor is far less serious than any death by police shooting, but these cultural moments represent two ends of the same spectrum, a spectrum of systemic racism playing out in America.

Quote:

Whether Taylor knows it or not (and I suspect she knows it), if Kim hadn't released those Snapchats, there's a large portion of America that simply would have continued to take her word over Kanye's and believed that he was harassing her in the media out of spite. We're a country structurally set up to protect whiteness over blackness, and at least one reason 2016 has been the dumpster-fire that it has been is because of the way America sees black men — and black people — in general. Blackness is threatening, even if the worst thing it's done to you is jump into your spotlight on a Grammys stage or try to sell you some loose cigarettes on the street. While Kim exposing Taylor isn't going to solve racism in America, she's not distracting from the narrative or "real issues" at all. She managed to say, "Keep my man's name out ya mouth" and highlight our country's macro social problems on a micro scale.

They didn't lie tho.

Would Taylor be faking as America's sweetheart if she isn't white and blonde?

i hate that they used this as an example. But it is kinda true, 'angry black man vs white female victim".

NO LIES SPOTTED

Taylor painted Kanye to be the typical angry, misogynistic and sexist black bully, when she OBVIOUSLY knew that wasn't the case. She knew she would get sympathy (again, following VMA 2009) so she took it and ran with it.

It was actually heartbreaking to see the clip from Kim´s snapchat, where you can so clearly see Kanye´s intentions. He literally says: "relationships over punch lines". All he wanted was to not offend her. And even if Taylor WAS offended by the term "bitch", she so clearly overreacted and painted a picture so many black men with good intentions are painted as.

The truth always wins though. No one is pulling up with her BS anymore.

Facts only

Even Katy said the narrative = Kanye is the villain and Taylor is the victim. This article took the same perspective but involved race and both are right.

I see no lies.

THANK. YOU.

ive seen countless users on this forum in the past 24 hours try to downplay this narrative of Taylor being the sweet, innocent white girl and Kanye the angry black man and it's borderline maddening y'all !! wake up please , it does no one any favors to be complicit and silent w/ **** like this even if it's just a 'petty celebrity feud' it's still an opportunity for people to realize how real this was for Kanye and how fraudulent Taylor has been about it , and how these parallels filter down into the lives of every day people having to inevitably deal w/ the same ****

it is VERY important to discuss how Taylor has used this portrayal to her advantage , even if it's uncomfortable for u to talk about it needs to be discussed

Tea, especially the second paragraph

But atrl told me the media was siding with Taylor, just like how the tape didn't exist

Aiyan

I have no feelings for Kimye whatsoever but I really wanna see them win this whole mess just to see Taylor's facade being torned apart !

Frankievii

Whew, Cosmo actually spilt the tea

UnusualBoy

This whole thing

Y'all say Taylor controls the media but come on... the Kardashians have this s**t on lock. Kim spun a fake 72 day marriage to her favor and these news outlets ate it all up hook line and sinker. The GP doesn't take her seriously at all but the media is so up her ass and hail her as some generational leader

Kris Jenner has a deal with the Dailymail to report positive stories about her children doing mundane things and all the comments are just trash talking them. I think they also have a deal with Buzzfeed too because notice that practically all Buzzfeed "journalists" have Kim gifs pinned to their Twitter profiles.
