"It's frustrating to watch white musicians be so ready to have legions of Black dancers/singers behind them, work with Black producers, sing about how "we" do and then be nowhere to be found when a Black tragedy takes the national stage. It in many ways cements the same things their art and music attempt to embody. A type of post racial illusion where minstrel images or just part of exploring your creativity and having fun. But we don't exist in any sort of post-racial world. Racism is still very real. An unfair double standard faced by Black men and women face a very real double standard when it comes to dealing with law. And there is a complete lack of value in the Black body...except of course as a sexual tool or as a means of entertainment."

"Both the silence and vocality of some Black Celebrities over others is a different bone to pick. It's a continual conversation but I would say is that there's no doubt Black celebrities walk a balancing act between their massive platforms and their own identities. A balancing act even our President doesn't always achieve. However, White Musicians like the ones I've discussed have the luxury of picking and choosing the ways in which they engage in Black life. "We" don't have that luxury."
