To those saying "It's not about race": It is about race. In this world EVERYTHING is about race because race has been ingrained and built into it. Ignoring it is proof of privilege and ignorance.
Lana's comments ARE racially charged (see below why). Please educate yourself on this so you can recognize it in the future.
No one is trying to cancel Lana. These racial issues need to be brought up and recognized. We need to normalize calling people out so we can get better at it. If we aren't aware of these then we will never be able to move away from them.
I'm recognizing my privilege too. My first tweet abt it was concerning the album date. Bc of my white skin, I am blind to a lot of things. However, having white skin doesn't inhibit you from ever seeing them (or having empathy), and I later realized it and checked my privilege.
The reason I am speaking out on this is so that way other white ppl will listen. A lot of white ppl sadly need another white person to say it to believe it. Poc, please share your experiences and call ME out if I have misunderstood anything.
I am not trying to speak for poc either. I am limiting my comments to this thread and leaving it here. Please think about these things deeply.
An amazing thread that explains all of this excellently:
