Nothing is stopping her from saying Muslim or Pakistani lives matter.

They always expect black people to champion their movements, but won't address their own anti black sentiments at home. It's truly incredible how entitled and weak willed these other races are in terms of standing up for themselves.

The NERVE of this bytch

I can't even get mad. bytch should've been organizing and headlining the Pakistani-Punk festival but if whatever idiot decided it was fine to PAY this bytch to perform in celebration of a culture and struggle that she, at best marginalized and at worst attempted to dismiss as some flavor of the moment American fad, then fukk them and fukk her too

This sellout hoe MIA is neither black or African. Why the hell is she headligning an Afropunk fest?

These cac run organizations and the blacks that participate in them are hilarious.

 

[Cynic]

She needs to go headline brownpunk or something else....

I was actually going to attend this event, but I think I'll pass.

I don't give a fukk about this MIA chick, but a non black person has no business headlining a BLACK event when we have tons of black talent in London alone. Sick and tired of these culture vultures. A black singer would never be used to headline an Asian event and the Asian community wouldn't stand for it anyway. Most of them look down on us and talk shyt about us, so they have no business getting involved in OUR shyt. They have NEVER stood up for us, nor fought for our causes in this country. They piggybacked of our uprisings and reaped the benefit of it just like other communities did to AAs after the civil rights struggle.

They're always "down" until something happens then they end up exposing themselves and saying some slick shyt.

Stay out of our business and worry about your own shyt.

That's a lie.

Diplo stated in a magazine interview that the song was mocking black/"hip hop" culture. Then mia started making this false narrative about how revolutionary it was after it started to get bigger.

The cash register sound effects are there to cover up the real lyrics which are taken from wreckx-n-effect's rump shaker "All i wanna do is zooma zoom zoom zoom in the pum pum". They couldn't clear the vocal so they covered it with samples. The original version was on the net back then but now it's gone

Which magazine?

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Did you ignore the post I made on the 1st page about how she was funding the building of a school in Liberia?

I did. And good for her.

Still doesn't give her a pass to say smart dumb shyt

 

[⚡⚡⚡]

Should've made Janelle Monae or somebody else the headliner.

 

[Danie84]

Didn't MIA just throw our "so-called" Pro Black artists in the bushes

...always turning the left cheek, even when Turncoasts show their true colors

WE Gotta Do Better

Afro Punk people(fans) are very specific about who they don't want playing the festival.

Afro punk feminists weremad about Cee Lo performing as well...

 

[YouMadd?]

Also, the coli would absolutely Hate Afro punk's Facebook page. Afro punk is an extension of BLM. All inclusive regardless of gender,sexuality,etc.

Other races don't want to take the PR hit of fighting for your rights, let alone the physical and mental toll it takes.

If you don't agree & go along with anything & everything you're labeled "anti-black"

Being misinformed & ignorant = automatically a anti black white supremacist ..

This isn't true at all....
