I have 3 friends, none of whom are gay so this doesn't apply to me

Also I'm a virgin so

Just checking back in to point out some lies. 

What would you do if you found out that your ex hooked up with your friend after knowing the fact y'all are friends or if your friend hooked up with your ex after knowing he's your ex? I'd seriously like to know. It hasn't happened to me but I know what I would do if it ever did

Now, HoeHoe...  ​ 

Until marriage. 

So many lies in so few words. 

 

 

Thank you so much!!!

Im very excited, Im greatful and deeply honored to receive this thread.

I cherish it not only because it comes from The

Rhythm Nation, a beautiful nation, but because it comes from the

fans of the heart and soul of the music of a Goddess who

has shaped my life and my career. Im amazed

to say that I've been on this planet for 30+ years and Im proud to say that I have endured.

That endurance

comes from my heritage as a fan of Janet and especially a Janet stan.

Im convinced that we Janet stans possess an indestructible strength that allows

us to not only throw shade, but to read somebody up and down and get

them all the way togetha.

I truly thank Janhova for that strength and thank you for your belief in me.

You been there for me during the good times (dynOmite! )  as well as the bad and

you lifted me up with your love which has always been a great source

of comfort especially in these last few years of no new music from Janet.

So thank you so much for this thread RedSimba, this precious honor,

I take it to heart, I hold all of you close to my heart

and I intend to use this thread as further motivation

to represent this forum, this Rhythm Nation, my beautiful nation with

energy, dignity and grace.

Thank you so much!

 

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!! For the Soul Train Award/DJ era speech!!! lol 

     Happy birthday!!!!     

I just don't understand people and their obsession with the Kardashians.... 

Anyway, get money bitch... 

She never stated that she was speaking of ALL gay white men much like she was not referring to ALL black women. She was addressing those gay white men who think it's cool, cute, or funny, to adopt caricatures of African-American women stereotypes.  She probably was hostile to them but degrading to them? I didn't see the article as degrading.  

This.

 

And that there is a causal erasure of black contributions to American culture and often white people invent histories to take credit for things they did not discover or produce. 

While this article clocked both of the previous articles in this thread (and is actually very true lol), I think what I quoted is at least one of the argued points in the original article.

At least that's what I took from it... *shrugs* 

The more she has to defend this the more she says how specific her intended audience was... To the point where it's not even a significant group of a gay white men. What I got from that video is she is literally speaking to men that act wanna call her "gurllllll" and neck roll and say shanaynay and shit. Who the fuck does that? That isn't a gay and white thing because that doesn't make up that identity at all and anybody who does do that is an outlier honestly. Like Austin has said in this thread and like the author in the video touched upon, the gay mannerisms and lingo comes from GAY culture. So if she's speaking to such a small margin of these people, she cannot be surprised at a dwarves backlash for the sensationalist title and demoralizing tone of her article.

Like I've said, I have sympathy for everything she and other black women go through, but this is such a fucking dumb thing to focus on and honestly does more harm to the group of women she is trying to stick up for.

It is still directed toward gay white males and those that she feels takes from the culture and/or use it in a very stereotypical way. I think that's very clear.  

She's simply saying she doesn't think all gay white males act this way. 

And that's the thing... All the negative stereotypes she's saying are being "stolen"... Do you want those? As a young black woman do you want your identity to be reduced to acting like a coon? Shit she should be saying gay white men can have that.

The authors of both articles.

I can say most definitely say he doesn't get it. 

It's what happens when the topic of "white privilege" in general is discussed. Many don't like to be confronted with the "advantages"/"privileges" they have simply because of skin color, so instead of discussing it rationally, the defense mechanism kicks in. 

Trade means the same thing as DL right?

HoeHoe, you would know better than I would.... 

Yes, Basically lol 

Boy quit actin like y'all don't know I be telling what goes on with me. You already know idgaf lol. Shit happens

HoeHoe, yes I know you're constantly spilling your own tea.    We know all about the trade you've given up the goodies to for spare change. 

HoeHoe is spilling his tea all over the forum again....

And they claim Rihanna is only inspired by Metamucil... 

I have a problem with it when some appropriates the culture, but are ignorant to/insensitive to the issues within the culture. I have seen that many times. 

Around the Discipline era, Natalie was sounding off on the state of the industry and stated that Janet needed to change it up. I think it was more constructive criticism than anything.

Even with the little bit of shade she threw. She was still in attendance at Janet's "Up Close and Personal" tour in LA. lol

It weirds me out to think of kids that age having sex though. I was 18, and still feel very pure and virginal tbh

Just pointing out the lies in the thread. 

Other than that... if they are having sex it's better to give them condoms to protect themselves. 

I love you

You wouldn't shade me if you loved me! 

If I was totally and completely desperate at the end of my rope

It felt right

HoeHoe and Dayz ????

excuse my poor transcribing

 

"no, what i'll say is that i think congratulations is in order, her single is doing really really well, and i think that's a good thing, i mean one thing i'm not is a hater, if somebody is doing something and or they did it well and their song is charting well then well congratulations, i just want female rappers to understand that i've opened a lot of doors for them, and i just would appreciate if they acknowledge that, but in terms if i'm bothered by it, no it is what it is if somebody has a song thats doing well then I think thats a great thing, and i think thats a great thing for women and we're gonna keep it moving"

you are not opening any doors for other people if you're shutting the same doors behind you. nikki might be the most successful but i still fail to see what door she has opened and for who.  she congratulates someone on one side of her mouth and then shades them with the other side cause now she sees them as a threat. what nikki really means when she talks about empowering women, shes really only talking about one woman, herself.

All. Of. This!!! 

I wuv you Rochester... 

Zendaya does not look like Aaliyah at all and yes, her skin tone is definitely part of it. The debate isn't whether Zendaya is "black" it's does she look like Aaliyah.

Rochester nailed it. I'm shocked.  lol

Without knowing her background a lot of people were upset because she does not look like Aaliyah... and her skin tone is definitely a part of it.

If you've never heard of someone, you're told they are going to play Aaliyah, and this is among the first images you're greeted with...

That's going to cause a problem. Many didn't even realize she was mixed until it was pointed out by Zendaya herself.

More than likely they would've put her in darker makeup to make it work. Which like Zoe Saldana portraying Nina Simone (a slightly similar situation, but entirely different) that's not going to sit well with many in the African American community. Too many it's like "you couldn't find anyone Aaliyah's complexion to portray her?    "

That's what many meant when they said she's not "black enough" lol

They found that to be creepy. That's not slander.. It opinion
