    @steady75 A question... The N-word is pronounced in the song... If a group of Black and non-Black people were singing it/miming to it together in a club or at a party, should all the non-Black people stop at that one word? I guess the answer is yes, but doesn't it make it feel a bit awkward? I understand it's reappropriation or reclamation when Black (incl. biracial Black) artists employ that term.

    I'm myself Black, and it would not bother me if a non-Black person used it as a term of endearment w/ no derogatory intents (like Madonna did Rocco back then on Instagram, and Rocco is White), but I understand many would be very upset.

    Lola used to call her affluent friends in high-school her "nigs"...

    America is saturated in black culture yet they are told they are a racist country... You hear nothing but the word in music yet not allowed to say it... America is a deeply confused nation.

    Try researching the history of hip hop music and culture. It originated in the ghettos then eventually broke into the mainstream but by the late 90’s and 2000’s the theme of “bling” and wealth, wearing suits etc became a common theme in the genre. I think it’s less a superficial fixation and more about empowerment for marginalized groups.

    What's marginalised about wealthy famous rappers? And how is it empowering by encouraging young people to obsess with transient material goods? Shouldn't they be empowering through education and family values? Just a thought.

    Can someone explain to me the rapper obsession with name dropping brands and angrily talking about money and things. I know the song is about Material things but...it's all they seem to talk about.

    Please don't hijack my thread with your nonsense please. I abhor trying to cancel someone just because you don't like someone else's opinion. The only time someone should be cancelled is if they are preaching violence and hatred to people, not because they make inane comments.

    Back on topic please.

    And your topic question is a very astute observation. It is an interesting phenomena.

    lol and Madame X was penny pinching too? She paid from her own pocket to make 4 expensive videos and she never got that money back.

    She also paid for the Madame X tour and she could have easily cash in on the insurance money and cancel the tour instead of putting on show after show in terrible pain. 
    She made no money from that tour either until the Paramount deal. 

    If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

  6. Everything she does is for money.

    She has homes and staff to pay for. Her decisions sometimes are NOT artistic, but how much she can make.

    Sticky & Sweet Part II? Get her divorce money back.

    She does deals because friends need favours.

    MDNA Skin...you think she came up with that? It was already made, they contacted her to promote it. She interfered and started changing things. Same with the perfume. And gyms. And clothes...

    Once upon a time she married art and commerce well, now it's just money.

    Does Aldo Diaz even get paid what a professional designer would? Of course not. Cheap labor. Cut corners. Penny pinch.

    What’s so wrong with it? I heard it’s slightly conservative socially

    SLIGHTLY? That's an understatement...

    I couldn't get in to it on a forum, we'd be here for hours.

    I clearly like it as I have been here 14 years...but you lose yourself. That's all I will say.

    Is it worth giving up your Self to fit in to a group that is racist towards you in the first place?

    Beautiful land and traditional culture...everything else...

    Just visit and keep your happy memories!

    "So, when a special snow-flake victim identity hashtag complains: it's all systemic and structural...

    But anyone else...it's their "life choices?"

     

    Mindlessly regurgitating Right Wing talking points that create an "other" (snowflake victim) and trying to discredit/ridicule people who speak up about any type of oppression. 

    So I just checked the e-mail again and it says I was given a warning for "trading / selling"???

    So not only do you slander and mischaracterise me, you lie about reasons for warning??

    How do we put warnings on moderators? Such a joke.

    This whole left wing right wing talk is the biggest bunch of bullshit ever forced down the throat of humanity. Same pathetic terms and arguments used by both sides like always, boring and predictable, originality and a mind that actually thinks for itself is rare these days. If anyone wants to prove to me that you are more sensible than the herds of democrat and republican sheep who vote despite being too stupid, I would suggest stop identifying as right wing or left wing, stop using the same old accusations of terms like racism or cancel culture and use your brain cells for a change. The reason why everything is such a clown show today is because of putting labels on everything and expecting people to act a certain way just because they identify as something. For instance, just because one is conservative does not mean they automatically need to be associated with Trump or act as stupid as he does, just because you are a strong independent woman does not mean you are special or constantly being oppressed by some evil male patriarchy,  just because you are gay does not mean you need to adhere to the toxic pressures of the LGBTQ community by turning yourself into a prancing circus devoid of masculinity or self dignity. My own political belief is the the system is rotten to the core and will only be rebuilt from zero after everything falls to pieces. 

    AMEN!

    Right-wing?? I'm not right wing.

    You are slandering me. And I got a warning?? For opinions? On a forum that celebrates a woman who fights for freedom of expression...

    The world is an upside-down joke.

    You're all nuts and drunk with power.

    Social-media is a true poison that warps minds. Sad.
