I saw a post saying that they don't understand why BTS is the one being heard when black people and Latinos have spoken about the same thing and there's one thing people aren't understanding.. BTS has a fandom that's willing to make them be heard. Yes, this conversation has been
hace 30 años, Tupac criticó a los Grammys por ser una industria controlada por gente desconectada del arte y del cambio. Años después, Namjoon hace referencia a él en 2.0: “Hit ’em up like (Tu)Pac. Hit ’em with the truth like Ra(kim)”
(Atácalos como Tupac. Enfréntalos con la verdad como Rakim)
ironíco que BTS esté haciendo exactamente eso, decir la verdad y desafiar un sistema que durante años los uso mientras les negaba el reconocimiento, ARIRANG es más de lo que pensamos
Is it too soon to talk about how this isn’t even a Grammy issue but a problem with how white people in particular have centered themselves on the world stage of music and convinced everyone that their specific opinions on music are most important?
@kookflowers pq ne, o grandioso bts jamais poderia n ser o primeiro grupo de kpop a ganhar um grammy ent eh mais facil so n competir e menosprezar a vitoria dos colegas de industria como grandes seniors q sao
and notice how everything’s written in korean and there’s not a single english word in sight. they really said you wanna know what i’m saying, go ahead and translate it then
and last thing im gonna say is, ARMYs are the only fandom who immediately recognized that new asian category for what it is: blatant racism, while others were celebrating a potential win for their faves. the fact that BTS, an asian group, thinks the same as us says a lot. 🙏🏽
i dont think y’all realize how fucking cool it is to just openly announce you are not submitting for the grammys because of their mistreatment. it takes a lot to have that kind of courage. they said FUCK that racist organization. BTS are truly the most inspiring artists ever
