Oh another little monster trivializing racism issues, surprising.
Some of y'all were just waiting on an opportunity like this to show your true selves
They're not trivializing racial issues; they're just criticizing how the media has been pandering towards African Americans ever since the Ferugson shootings, so that if a black celebrity says some of the dumbest things ever and then brings up race in their argument, the media refrains from calling them out in order not to seem racist. Which certainly doesn't move the current civil rights movement forward.
YR, no one is disagreeing with Nicki's statements on racism.
This whole situation is an issue because she only started talking about racism to cover up the fact that she was selfish and mad that Anaconda & her didn't get a VOTY nom.
No, it's actually just the truth. Nothing melodramatic about it, it's just very sad
And it's even more sad because the members of this forum are mostly homossexuals (people that still suffer with hatred and that should be more supportive to others).
Nicki saying she should have been nominated for VOTY so that her body type is also repped because showing only skinny bodies sends a poor message to young girls.
I agree, her body type sends a great message to young girls Let's not just stop at the VMAs -- let's also give her AOTY at the Grammys too.
Not just her body type but the body types of the dancers too, there were many curvy girls of different races represented in the video, most of them presumably without implants.
Nicki single-handedly set the movement back ten years with her dumb, unfounded outburst. There won't be any progress until people like her are no longer given a platform.

Slay
As I've said before, Nicki's concerns about racism are SELF-SERVING

Stop.
I think you didn't read my posts. I'm not agreeing with Nicki Minaj's selfish reasons but I am also not making jokes about these racial issues (something that you are not doing but A LOT of other members are - just look at the posts).
I'm not gonna stop because i'm right.
Oh sit your ass somewhere. Using Nicki's foolishness as an excuse to undermine an issue such as racism is disgusting (I won't argue with us being disgusting to some degree) but when you're disgusting, you're disgusting.

This is exactly my point. This is what 80% of SYG is doing and it's very frustrating. They keep making jokes about these issues like they mean nothing just because Nicki Minaj did this awful thing to promote herself.
I am not changing my opinion on this, it's very clear to a non-racist mind

@Kworb How did she set back anything when the media outlets are saying that her claims were right? I hope that you're being ironic because something like this won't even get press in a couple of weeks and it didn't set back anything.

You're clearly not following. This is after everyone including myself called Nicki out for her selfish motives yet some members continue using the situation as an example of the racism issues being non-existent and only pushed by the "social justice warriors".

The joke is that the real problem of racism is trivialized when it gets invoked over petty concerns where it doesn't apply.

Some keep ignoring this because they don't have an answer - they already said awful comments here. I do hope that some people start to think differently but the fact that the thread is silent just proves my point. No arguments against a fact
