:patrice:This is a music business discussion, more specifically one about exploiting minority groups for profit. Something they’ve done in the past repeatedly.

If you don’t see it or disagree that’s perfectly fine, but how are you dudes equating this to my sexuality?

Serious question. :jbhmm:
Nah nikka you gay

standard of beauty and style changes, especially in proximity to black culture. those industries are worth a lot of money.

one caters to ppl trying to be cool
the other side caters to ppl trying to be professional

coolness is often conflated with fullness, a perceived trait of blackness. hair with more volume, fuller lips and bodies. the way we dress.

i don’t hate on any of these corporations. but their perception and portrayal of us, while trying to pick and chose what they want from it is not very trustworthy.

so how can someone respect an r&b singer who doesn’t truly have respect for the cultural importance of the field outside of its entertainment and cool factor?

so her authenticity as not just a singer , but as a person is put into question cause she profits a lot from it.


music is a tool expressing our identity amongst ppl constantly trying to take it away.

what is her identity expressing?

if u want, u can go back to the financial route and run the “it’s just entertainment” way:mjgrin:
No i wasn't talking about her. Read what I wrote again

Did I not say this? :snoop: You smart-dumb nikkas are an epidemic.



Brazil is NOT a spanish speaking country. You said MORE blacks live in spanish speaking countries I said you were DEAD wrong. And you're still wrong. African Americans are the largest visible African diaspora group outside of Brazil.

Now you're going off on a pointless tangent about 'blanquemento' and some other fakkitry.

Then you tried to make it seem like people DONT ASSUME the mestizo phenotype when referring to hispanics. You think people are talking about dark skinned Afro-Dominicans when talking about Hispanics?:what:


for almost two decades latino and hispanic has been used interchangeably via census. you’re using archaic understandings of those terms to split hairs.

due to your obviously specious intent, i would prefer u not to quote me again, cac.

Kobe snitched on Shaq
:laff: true story


Italian women and white hispanic women basically have the same genetic make up.
No they dont. Alot of Italy was conquered by Germanic tribes, especially in the North. Only in the extreme south and sicilia was there more of a moorish presence.

Meanwhile Hispanic women are 50%-80% native indian and around 20% have significant amounts of African blood.

OP has good intentions I’m sure, but that’s pretty much how assume most people upset about this are.

Probably just got done retweeting some gay white man with a ghetto accent

I’m not disagreeing with you but outside of guidos, who I still don’t conflate with Black, I’m not familiar. This thread is discussing a specific celebrity, and if there is a male Italian who is doing something similar then feel free to add on. I specifically mentioned the celeb cast of Jersey Shore as Italians who tan but bear consistent looks. Ariana in the op looks “Italian” on the Elle and other cover and what I would associate with Hispanic elsewhere. She also very weirdly lets people run and announce her last name as “Grand-eh” although she has spoken in an interview that it’s Grandy.

She’s no Kanye, but I think that’s also telling that she although she did that interview, she’s still announced as Grand-eh. I would expect a reasonable person to have their publicists reach out to the outlets by now.


Guidos are racist wiggers who listen to Bmore/Jersey club music.
Go to Elkton, MD or Ocean City, MD.
