Justin will be fine. It's not like a lot of black people buy music legally these days.

Not you thinking this was funny, while also ignoring the fact that white people consume media illegally as well. Ignorant beyond measure.

Are people really this bored.

Justin Timberlake isn't the reason for your problems. Stop directing your issues at him.

Thankfully this is just the Internet and this isn't a concern in real life, is it? He's not the one discriminating against you at college, university, at work, on the streets, in the law enforcement, in the high courts.

Choose your battles wisely or you will lose the war out of sheer waste of energy and time.

That's not really the whole point of the thing.

What? I was referring to the bolded part of the OP "He has not spoken out about Black Lives Matter—if you go to search "Justin Timberlake Black Lives Matter," Google tries to autofill it with "Justin Timberlake Black Eyed Peas." This is not a man who is, or has ever been, down with the movement. "

Google searching whether someone has supported a cause doesn't automatically mean that they don't support it, this part of the article by the author was just silly. They're just trying to find as many reasons to hate the guy as they can imo

The whole idea of artists having to use the hashtag blacklivesmatter in order to make RnB music is ridiculous. I especially can't take this from Cosmo.

The idea of him collecting and dropping black talent is a joke. His band has been primarily black for the last decade and his main collaborators have remained Timberland and Pharrel, he done a joint tour with Jay and contributed a fair bit Beyonce's Self Titled because of a closeness. These think pieces always trying way to hard, just call him out for the tone deaf "we're all the same" response and leave it at that.

My point exactly.

All of this. There are so many arguments in this tirade that are just based on an overall lack of fact and awareness of his career, and they obviously seem to come from a place of a predisposed disliking for him. This will hardly shake up his career at all. Also, the Bieber fans coming in here to even say ANYTHING about this particular topic and not understanding how that is absolutely ironic are just...

Exactly. There are so many more issues happening around the world that require our attention but instead we're focusing on an irrelevant tweet?

this 'backlash' reminds me of Taylor's so called backlash

He is the only one selling 100k of a song and still with a 30% lead after almost 2 months.

good luck with that!

[Honeyßéy]

Good.
It's about time someone called him out.

They never supported him to begin with. It was always exclusively white people. His urban numbers are pitiful, even Robin Thicke has had more success there.

Now how can we be sure not all Justin fans are racist like you?

He supports the gay community boy you are really something. So your coming for him for not supporting black people and for supporting gays what on earth do you want.

Yes, Nick Jonas doesn't support the Black community. Furthermore, you don't have to be gay to support the gay community. However, Nick Jonas supporting the gay community is disingenuous, by that, I mean he's supporting—and constantly talking about—the gay community in order to sell himself, to sell singles, to sell albums, to sell concert tickets. Nick Jonas doesn't actually care about the gay community. This is not a radical statement. It's pretty much accepted truth. He only started "caring" when he was releasing an album while simultaneous playing a bisexual character on a television series. It's not hard to do the math, kids. In any case, the Black community needs to eventually focus their attention on him, too, just like JT.

Not that I agree with all these radical SJWs, Justin deserves the backlash! Finish ha! Remember how he treated Britney?

Yas! JUSTICE FOR JANET!

And he is flopping on streaming, since you want to use that case against other artists.

And while I think the backlash is a bit much over a tweet like that one, I also thought the Janet backlash was unwarranted. At least people didn't forget how he treated Janet during that era.

[ALIEN]

Destroying JT isn't going to fix the issue but have fun y'all, I'm just here for Janet's Revenge

[Lulu]

About time, he's the embodiment of white straight male privilegue

[Crazy Lights]

This isn't going to do any damage to his career. People will forget about this in a week or two.

Don't be ridiculous. The Black community has supported Justin Timberlake since "FutureSex/LoveSounds" all the way through "The 20/20 Experience." It's embarrassing. Never understood it. At least it's over now. (Speaking of, remember the appropriation in those "Suit & Tie" lyrics: "Let me get a good look at it. Oh, so thick, now I know why they call it a fatty.")
