For my birthday I really just wanted to share my story with the world and I’m so happy my best girl was with me through it all ♥️

“I don't want you telling me to go back to Africa, unless you going back where you come from. I got a note one day telling me to go back to Africa and ever since that time-it's been three times a week I say it when I am in a white audience-I say, 'We'll make a deal. After you send all the Koreans back to Korea, the Chinese back to China, the Jewish people back to Jerusalem, and you give the Indians their land back and you get on the Mayflower from which you come'... We all here on borrowed land. We have to figure out how we're going to make things right for all the people of this country.” - Fannie Lou Hamer
For some strange reason @Drake fans are still trying to make it seem like @kendricklamar started this whole debacle. Here’s the timeline. @Drake has been jealous of @kendricklamar from the beginning.
Obama didn’t cause any division in this country. It was caused by all the bigots who couldn‘t handle a Black President. If you think it was Obama who caused the division, it’s because you’re one of those bigots.
Remember when Rocky was on trial and he told her not to come to court, but she came anyway? That’s why the comments about Drake forcing her to show support make no sense. She supported Rocky at his lowest and y'all clowned her, just to turn around and say she never supports him.
bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.
This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.
What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.
Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.
This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.
Kendrick doesn’t make music specifically for the club/party. It’s a stupid argument every time y’all bring it up.
But when he felt like it, he did, and the world exploded.
That should be enough for y’all to never question his ability to be versatile again.
