Due to how hard you were caping for cultural appropriation, I wouldn't really expect something this blatantly dumb from you  |
No. I'm saying that the backlash lead her to not release a song like Standing On The Sun.
Nowhere did I mention or even insinuate that being a white-washed artist is bad...
You drew that conclusion yourself. However, many people DO consider it to be bad... so.
And in a case like this one, it's not Beyonce "not being true to her race".
It's not being true to her roots in R&B and urban music culture. People equate white-washing with selling out in her case.
Literally never acted that way. All I said is that SOTS was probably shelved because it wasn't true Beyonce sticking to her roots and was too Pop. Too white-washed, too sell-out, too everything. She didn't NEED a song like that. She knows that. So, basically, not releasing it was probably one of the best ideas in her recent career, whether pop music fans are disappointed or not.
