Your words: 'How can she a pro black activist by putting down and attacking a black man with a pro black message, who is successful in a system that is built against people of color?'
So pro-black activists are not allowed to critique Kendrick just because he's a black man with a pro-black message, who is successful in a system that is built against people of color?
That's my question. Is KENDRICK above critique because of who he is? I didn't even mention his gf. I'm strictly asking if you feel kendrick is above critique simply because of what you feel he has accomplished?
And I've said multiple times it's not about his gf being light, damn you illiterate fools can't comprehend shyt!
Wait, when and what did he lie about again? I'm confused, I thought this was about his girlfriend.
After all this fukking ranting ask yourself one question...I do color you foolish blue lol. I think Kendrick makes a conscious effort to craft an image to get rich. That's about it.
Jordan is a c00n regardless of his relationship status. If his wife left him for a white dude she is also a c00n. But none of this is about Kendrick breaking up with her. I don't think Kendrick should break up with her. I have a problem with him crafting an image to sell records. Your girl is a light skin/ambiguous Black chick, so what? Why are you hiding her and bullshytting people? Oh, to make money off the Black community?
PS If Jordan had gotten with Juanita just to sell fukking shoes I'd have a problem with that shyt, too.
Not directed at any of y'all specifically but I feel like people are being real short-sighted and willfully ignorant about this. It's not about the girl being light or about kendrick dumping her once he got on (Cuz what????). It's about how he was with this girl for ten years but kept her ass damn near a secret while he shouted from the hilltops about his love of brown skinned/dark skinned girls. Couple that with his respectability politics and this dude comes off as fake conscious strictly to sell records.
He'll put a girl like this in his videos to get support from the pro-Black community:
But show up to cac functions with a girl like this:
Who do you think the cacs are going to be more comfortable with? He's playing both sides and people don't like it. Stop with the fake revolutionary bullshyt and just be who you are, a nikka from Compton who's into racially ambiguous jawns (even racially ambiguous Black jawns) just like the rest of the nikkas from Compton.
And y'all keep comparing light skin Black women who are CLEARLY Black to Whitney who is racially ambiguous. I'm not saying she's not Black (because I've seen her parents and she self-identifies as Black) but this comparing her to Chaka, Angela Davis, or Kathleen Cleaver? Whitney could pass for a Kardashian and yall know it. If whitney is so clearly, OBVIOUSLY Black with white ancestry like y'all are claiming then so is kim k:
Y'all can't tell me K. Dot's girl doesn't look like the fifth Kardashian sister.
I think he means to pass her a horribly thrown football.
but how is critiquing his sex life important for the advancement of black people?
He kept his personal life private and that equates to "lying" about herMy issue is he lied about the gf. Kept her under wraps his entire career to create a certain image in the Black community and to sell records to people. Won a couple grammys and had two hit albums now he's out in the open and marrying her. Couple that with his respectability politics and I think he's a c00n and a fraud. Dude doesn't actually give a fukk about Black people but just wants to get rich IMO.
I could care less about the colorism shyt, BUT people acting like his girl is clearly Black and not racially ambiguous AT ALL can gtfo on principle.
What?
The post IS about skin color. This "activist" attacking Kendrick BECAUSE of the color of his girlfriend.
I never said he was above critique, I implied that the critique about the color of his girlfriend is invalid and pointless.
Youre trying to attack him on a personal level when you dont know him personally. Youre probably attacking him just cuz you dont like his music or because youre a stan of another artist.
