Internet bashes Madonna for posting video of her son dancing to Michael Jackson "to honor and pay tribute to George and His Family and all Acts of Racism and Discrimination"

[Jordan Miller]

Madonna was just trying to bring the light the injustices that are taking place in the world, the most recent one being the George Floyd ******, and she's criticized. 

Thoughts? Some people feel like the video is tone-deaf. I don't see it that way, but would love to know your thoughts.

Oh FFS. But nobody has an issue with Gaga waiting until 5 hours before her album release to acknowledge the ******??! 
 

and nobody says anything about Camila cabello talking about her anxiety instead of the ****** of George Floyd?! https://www.wsj.com/articles/camila-cabello-letter-ocd-mental-health-fans-11590668326?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=1

 

FFS! Scold all of them! Not just Madonna!

I think the whole  “Great Equalizer” Fiasco and this do come across tone deaf.
 

But for people to be nasty to her. That’s too far  

[Deyonce]

As a black person I don't understand the issue with this. She made a post about this earlier expressing her feelings about the ****** and now she just posted her son dancing to a song decrying the same racism and violence that she just talked about a few days prior. I feel like this is one of the few instances where things were looked into to hard.

U know if it was any other artist I wouldn’t put much thought into it but Madonna.... 

hasn’t she called her kids the n word before? 
and constantly appropriates black culture 

but anyways if I say anything too liberal on here I get downvoted so I’ll keep quiet 

[KillersWhoArePartying]

I mean I thought the video was kind of cringey but Twitter is making wayyyyyy to big of a deal about this

A lot of the GP hate Madonna so they'll take any opportunity to sh-t on her

people are just being outraged for the sake of being outraged

[MortalMarshmallow]

Real petty drama ...

My thoughts excatly! But nobody finds anything wrong with Camila Cabello penning an open letter today about her anxiety because she’s famous...but they’re scolding Madonna after she literally said “f the police” yesterday.

well, in early 2014 she called her white kid that word which I think is an important distinction to make, not that that excuses what she said at all. That was definitely a terrible thing for her to say and I think one of the moments i'm most ashamed of as a Madonna fan.

there was a big controversy over this in 2014 and she apologized, but I think the general public forgot about it mostly. I'm kinda scared tho that with this happening people are bringing that up again, i really don't want to wake up tomorrow to a #MadonnaIsOverParty  

as for cultural appropriation she hasn't really done anything that every other white popstar hasn't done as well, and she's from a time where the idea of cultural appropriation wasn't on people's consciousness. and at least she hasn't criticized black culture after appropriating it like Miley Cyrus and Billie Eillish have.

Madonna has been out of touch for years but it’s not like she’s trying to make matters worse or being malicious. 
Twitter should focus on Kayleigh McEnima (McEnany), she’s the one who believes police brutality against black people in America has nothing to do with the country’s history of slavery and racism. 
The perpetually outraged really need to look at the bigger picture here. All Madonna did was throw in her two cents and try to bring more attention to the issue, tone deaf or not

I honestly don't feel like she's ever truly appropriated culture. Because cultural appropriation is when you take an element from a culture out of its original context and distort for oneself. Madonna has always made sure to be knowledgeable about the cultures she was exploring and to be respectful towards them even in the 80s and 90s.

that's true actually. you can tell whenever she uses a culture in her music or fashion that she's always well educated and genuinely interested in said culture.

i guess that makes me even more confused about why she would use the n word in early 2014, isn't she a really well educated person who would know better than that? was she just trying to be edgy? did people back then just not care? I mean i know a lot of celebrities have used to the n word on social media from that era but at least they had the excuse of being teenagers at the time, Madonna was in her 50s. I don't believe she's a racist at all so that's why i find it confusing.

i feel like the only explanation is she was feeling desperate to seem cool and saw that using the word was trendy at the time (which it kind of was for dumb white people) and maybe she didn't think the word without the hard r was taken seriously
