my thing is that she's not speaking out, because she hasnt addressed these issues on her songs. only on her videos, which is where my criticism is coming from.
i dont give a **** about how she expresses her cultural heritage (hot sauce, red lobster), even if its in a dumb way. but regarding politics, its definitely lacking. 
sure, she gives it a better development on her videos, yet, addressing it, when on the next take you're going to be shaking your ass on an empty parking lot/hallway is kinda pathetic. why? because like i said, it shows that it isnt central. its the same movements, the same choreos, the same thing she's been doing since she started. but now, during each era, she throws in a political element to try and fool people into thinking shes a real activist, when in reality, is just a cute little accessory for her. a gimmick. |
And we're back here. Where is the standard on how/when/where to address race issues?
You're saying "yeah! She puts in work to bring the issue to the forefront in her visuals and performances [I think that's up to
5 back to back performances just on race related things now]! But she doesn't have
several songs (cause Freedom exists) explicitly referencing it"
At what point do you start to address your own biases and unrealistic expectations?
