Lizzo Says It's 'Hurtful' When Critics Say Her Music Is for White People: 'I Am a Black Woman'

[OperationNumbNutts]

All cultures have parameters.

Black American culture does not respect pandering to white folk in any form despite what the television might make you believe.

Don't try to minimize it. You know.

Lizzo should take Lloyd Banks & 50 advice.....



50 told me switch the style up/if they hate let em hate watch the money pile up

She’s a black woman doesn’t mean her music is not primarily for liberal white woman they’re not mutually exclusive

 

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

Raw and absolutely no regrets

Date CACs while alienating people of the same race?

Lmao whatever he did for Black people to fukk with his music more with “Awaken my love”

The critics that said that her music is white are idiots and do not understand black music. What? Do they think modern day rap and R&B are the only forms of black music? Lizzo is obviously influenced by Prince but an idiot music blogger and the tasteless may not get the references.

I don’t really keep up with most celebs these days so maybe I missed something commonly known. But Why does the coli hate Lizzo?

Because she's fat.

She said nothing wrong in that article. Her discussing the origins of the racist music industry and big upping Rap and Hip Hop artists for succeeding despite that shouldn't have gotten these responses. Too much of modern American music's foundation is rooted in Black musical traditions for ppl to say she makes music "for white ppl".

Everyone in that pic looks like they STINK

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Funny how white people mass-celebrate Lizzo (a large, dark skinned Black woman)

But do the complete opposite for (by Western standards) beautiful dark skinned Black women

If this artist doesn’t get the role she plays, she would have to be wilfully ignorant

Shut up bytch. You dont choose your audience, they choose you.
