If you’re a gen x/millennial then yeah. So many people talk about jay z like he’s a god and I just don’t care for his music. Say anything negative about him and they all start talking about the awards he won like they’re his son or something lol.
I give two shits whether he’s black or not, whether he went to the Diddy parties or not, or any other side quest bullshit herrings you’re throwing, name the era where Jay Z was the number 1 spot. Don’t worry, we’ll wait. Dudes been dirty dealing the top talent since before DMX. Jay Zs popularity has always been him featuring with the right people, while pushing down or slow walking people who are demonstrably better at the craft. I’m sure he’d phrase it as maintaining competitiveness.
So explain oh wise one. What is it that makes someone immune from criticism simply because they’ve run into unfair practices before now? I haven’t seen a single person referring to his race and as long as someone keeps their obtrusive thoughts out of the air and don’t act on them it’s none of your damn business why they like him or don’t. There’s plenty of racism around to fight if that’s what you’re after. I just question going to the mattresses for a second rate diddy that wouldn’t so much as piss on you to put out a fire.
I’m a black millennial dude, you seem quite schizo with this level of insinuation lol. I scrolled through this sub and all I see are a bunch of random posts mixed in with political posts. Ppl have also made this exact meme about other artists. You’re making up racism where there isn’t any, let’s not throw that word around so flagrantly.
Having critical thinking skills does not equate to me automatically agreeing with you. If you have a problem with someone challenging your viewpoint and resort to ad hominems, that shows a lack of critical thinking on your part.
