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

This is true but it did apply on that situation. There is still a lof of racism in the music industry just like there is in a lot of fronts. Every issue in every front is important, there's nothing ''petty'' about this

@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.

Instead of focusing on the fact that as an innocent black American you can get dragged across the street like an animal by law enforcement, the GP learned that the biggest issue black Americans face is not getting nominated for VOTY, which only confused them cause half of the VMA nominees are black. The media's support tells them that there aren't any real issues to worry about, which is exactly the opposite of what is needed.

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.

YR., love you, but you lost when when this is your final say.

Here we discuss about A LOT of sensitive subjects like it's nothing (literally just saw a post of somebody dragging a little monster with the "don't kill yourself" joke ).

Just because the racial issue is hot right now, doesn't mean that some of us don't take it with seriousness in real life even though we joke about it (just like we joke about Tity trying to kill herself, LM killing themselves, Angelina's mastectomy, CL being stupid and asian, Janet being part of Al Qaeda, J. Aniston fermented uterus, etc, etc, etc, etc), but here we troll about EVERYTHING (and the we includes YOU, I've seen some pretty tragic posts coming from you too).

Anyways, just saying this because I've seen some of you really take things too personal in here

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

Most of the people who write such ignorant comments are people who are well... ignorant. I'm not expecting any of this to change their mindsets.

It will forever baffle me how a site filled with gay individuals will always jump whenever anything remotely homophobic is mentioned but when racial issues are pointed out, the ones talking about it are either "Tumblr people" or Social Justice Warriors or Black Twitter operators.
Humans are all so ****ing self-centered

This is all true Kworb and I do agree (and said multiple times) that her reasons were selfish. Nicki Minaj never mentioned racism in any of her songs or interviews - the only reason she did this was to be petty and try to win the nomination. No one can control the media, they will do anything to sell magazines and get clicks. My most important point is the fact that people are using this to undermine racial issues and show their ignorance (this IS Nicki's fault). It's very frustrating to see a lof of people in here laughing about this. I reported a lof of posts and almost all of them were warned - but no one is here all the time to stop every ignorant user. I hope that you understand what i'm saying.

Talking about race, I told one of my friends I was seeing Björk today and he said: isn't she Chinese or something?

Is she not?

I could see Kendrick winning. Grammys could want to prove they're not racist, but also 1989 is pure pop, like Teenage Dream was. I don't see Grammy voters going for it.

D'Angelo had the comeback story that Grammy voters love so he very well could win too. But that's if he gets nominated.

Another person who could take it is Kacey Musgraves.

Kendrick had more impact than D'Angelo with his album. I think he deserves to win. Can't think of anyone else. 1989 is nice but Taylor doesn't need it.

My current predictions:

Album of the Year
D'Angelo & The Vanguard - Black Messiah
Florence + the Machine - How Big How Blue How Beautiful
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
Taylor Swift - 1989
twenty one pilots - Blurryface

Y'all won't come for "God, I'm Holy". It's such a bop and it's having great longevity.

I mean, Taylor really needs to be a huge racist for a nazi to call her so!

I get your point but these jokes are still not okay with me. They would be in a different scenario where I could see that they were jokes - but most of them aren't. I really like you too and I don't think you did those with that intention but not everyone here is like you, that's all i'm saying.
And I didn't lose anything because there are no winners or losers here btw.
