I also had problems with Madonna saying ageism is a greater form of discrimination today than racism. What? She would have faced greater backlash if people still cared what she has to say.
Madonna on "ageism" (isn't even a real thing, granny! pop music is for the youth!)
Quote:
"It's the last great frontier. We fought for the civil rights movement. We fought for gay rights," said Madonna, who called her son the N-word last year and recently got in trouble for PhotoShopping Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. in bondage rope.
"No one would dare to say a degrading remark about being black or dare to say a degrading remark on Instagram about someone being gay," Madonna said. "But my age - anybody and everybody would say something degrading to me. And I always think to myself, why is that accepted? What's the difference between that and racism, or any discrimination? They're judging me by my age. I don't understand. I'm trying to get my head around it.

Oh and never forget
Love yourself and your community more than you love your fave. If you are black you have no reason to support Justin Bieber or Madonna.
Both have said the N word in the past and gotten away with it...Let's not even start to get into how they appropriated black culture and consequently closed doors for more talented black people...
