i highly doubt y00ng! is gonna speak up and give his explanation for using the sample. if anything explaining your art takes away from the ability to allow the listener to interpret it in their own way. i do however still believe that the feelings of the black people who were
offended by the use of the sample are completely valid. even if he used it in a creative way, despite whether it was a critique or not. we can’t talk over how black people feel and we can’t tell them they can’t be offended. i’ve also seen other black people who see no issue
with the use of the sample and their feelings are valid as well! the fact of the matter is there are black people who are genuinely offended about something that is a FACT (which is the sample being used in the song) and you can’t immediately accuse them of being an anti
or trying to defame y00ng! ?!? now out of all times, we should know that black people’s feelings are valid and shouldn’t reduce them down to fandom wars. However all the non black people who haven’t tweeted abt blm all week and decided to come online just to bash y00ng!,
THOSE people are 100% antis who do not care about y00ng! nor black people and those people shouldn’t be paid attention to. anyway I just wanted to say this because i couldn’t stay silent about it anymore as i felt like a bystander who was too scared to speak abt this. I’m simply
saying listen to black people. their feelings are valid. the /fact/ is that y00ng! used a sample in a song, and the reasoning for the usage/interpretation is what is being debated as offensive and both sides (the offended and the not offended) deserve to be listened to. but don’t
completely shut out and silence the offended black people. it’s not always about fandom wars, real serious issues deserve to be discussed and people’s takes deserve to be respected. i know the person who brought it up originally is an anti and i’m not saying there aren’t antis
who immediately jumped on the hate bandwagon just to fuel the fire and instigate hatred against Him, because there definitely are. what i’m saying is not every single person who is genuinely hurt or offended is an anti. while it’s an anti who brought it up, it still was brought
to black peoples attention who felt hurt by the usage even after reading the threads that interpret the usage as a critique and even after reading that j!m j0nes had ties to korea (and like i said earlier there are also people who accepted those takes as fair game and immediately
felt at ease!) i’m just saying non black people don’t really have the space rn to be going around silencing black armys or black people in general who felt offended. this thread isn’t me giving my own take, i’m simply saying we should listen to black people in this situation
(BOTH SIDES) and not simply agree with one side as fact and then silence everybody else who disagrees. ive just been seeing a lot of silencing going on and it’s just not okay.
