I'm actually far from a SJW. And I'm also white myself. And far be it from me to make your ignorant opinion my issue, but I will not see my fave 'dragged' for lyrics that suck when the lyricism on this song is deliberately loud, clear and literal.

Maybe if I portray this through the lens of something else that is closer to home for your closed-mindedness, you can wrap your head around it? A lot of people criticized Born This Way for similar 'bad lyrics' on arrival because the bridge is literally her listing sexualities. But it had to be said at the time because gay teens were (and still are) killing themselves practically one a week because they were made to feel that living as a gay person was not worth it anymore.

Now I'm not sure if you have a television (if you do it's probably tuned to Fox anyway so whatever), but I'm guessing you have an internet connection of some kind since you had the audacity to quoted me. Black people are being killed by police officers. Black people are having their culture appropriated by others. Black people are being made to feel like their lineage and history is not something to be proud of. The reason the lyrics to this song are so literal and so culturally rich is because if huge black icons like Beyoncé don't take a stand and say 'I am proud to be a black person with a big nose, baby hair, an afro' then the culture will continue to be taken by others and black people will become whitewashed as they are made to feel that being proudly black in both their image and lifestyle is something that will compromise their opportunities and the way they are treated by others.

I could go on. But tl;dr open your eyes. And don't ****ing mention the KKK in this thread, of all threads, for Christ's sake. The insensitivity really stinks.

This is the best post I have ever seen on ATRL. Like ever.

The tossing around of "racist" is wrong. Some people simply don't like the lyrics, and honestly without the visual accompanying the song the message isn't as clear. Using it in this context actually trivialises the real racism Bey is highlighting in this video.

But, the fact that people in this thread think using the word "ghetto" to describe someone is ok...

You guys don't have to like it, but we know why "some" don't "like" it.

the people trying to find some deep meaning in here. jesus christ. just stop. this song is embarrassing. im black, and i dont like hot sauce. like she doesnt have to keep perpetuating stereotypes. like she talks about getting ****ed and taking a guy to red lobster if he does a good job. like just stop. this is a step backward for us. shes not helping the cause at all.

I love it. The song and video are great.

People using words like "ghetto" etc are obviously being racist. Saying that the song/lyrics is bad doesn't make someone racist though.

People loved Birthday Cake & Pour it up and she was singing about strippers and getting her booty ate.
