Janelle Monáe trying to cancel rappers (she is)

I don't think the tweet was well thought out...

Why is music so sexualized?
Why is some of our music about killing each other, selling drugs and promiscuity?

Because everyone is a product of their environment. And that's what the music reflects.

So in order to break the cycle of misogyny, there must be a healing of the people that produce the art first, imo

how do we heal the people?

It isn't, you can't dictate how people talk

 

[Whis Khalifa]

how do we heal the people?

By teaching the future generations to learn from our mistakes and be better people

By addressing the need of more therapy in our communities.

By holding each other accountable instead of waiting for the justice department to do it.

By giving people the space and opportunity to experience a life not set up to oppress us.

...fam this is a fully loaded question with multiple answers and no simple solution...

My point stands though. Address the artist, don't attack the art.

She’s a feminist and a staunch LGBT activist. Word to her All Black Lives Matter tweet. Black men are pretty much the face of hip hop so that’s why for years people have always put a negative spin on it and blame it for the problems in black society. Her saying hip hop is misogynistic is a thinly veiled attack on black men.

So freedom of speech is the worst hill to die on because it's not the speech that you like

human nature will and always has been human nature

There will never be a utopia where everybody is all nice and not greedy or violent or manipulative

It would be nice,but people will always people.

All you can do is try to reach the ppl around you,but some ppl are un reachable.

You can sit and try to be logical and rational and they don't give a fuck.

I've learned that cats will always fight for their right to be unnecessarily disrespectful on the internet. Always.

Prob because this is the only place they can do that without real consequence

because nigga has way more negative connotations to it than bitch

Have women had parts of time where they were treated unfairly yes,but there's also times of women being beloved and societies that worshiped women and treated them very well.

There was no time where when nigga was/is strictly used as a slur by others that it was good.

We repurposed it and it became slang.

So it's the same for bitch .

like I said I love women,but I'm also a nigga who had what I thought was the love of my life take a hot steaming shit on my soul

women are capable of great evil and those women should be called bitches.

but also it's just slang like nigga.

I have called bitches bitches in real life when they deserved it

fuck the internet.

But I don't just go around calling women bitches to their face for no reason.

And actually women like a man who will check them when they deserve it and got the balls to say "stfu bitch"
