Calling Melanie Martinez racist while ignoring that she publicly supported Black Lives Matter, encouraged donations, attended a protest and even incorporated messages like “BLM” “Defund the Police” and “No Pigs Allowed” into her own work is simply rewriting history.
What’s most disturbing about this is that the people behind this smear campaign are white, yet they had no problem typing out the N-word themselves, editing it onto Melanie’s profile, and passing it off as real. At that point, it seems the racism is coming from somewhere else.
