On Eric Garner’s death: "It's sickening, and I've been reading so many people saying, 'Why are we surprised?' That's what's really sad: that we should somehow be used to being treated like animals. It's gotten to the point where people feel like there's no accountability: If you are law enforcement and you do something to a black person, you can get away with it."
On black artists speaking out on social issues: “I feel like when Public Enemy were doing "Fight the power" we as a culture had mor power-now it feels hopeless. People say, 'Why aren't black celebrities speaking out more?' But look what happened to Kanye when he spoke out. People told him to apologize to Bush! He was the unofficial spokesman for hip-hop, and he got torn apart. And now you haven't heard him speaking about these last couple things, and it's sad. Because how many times can you be made to feel horrible for caring about your people before you say, '? it, it's not worth it, let me live my life because I'm rich, and why should I give a ? ?”

She gave a half ass disrespectful answer to Malcolm X family. But gave an extremely apologetic letter to Jews.hiphop12345 wrote: »

I've seen it bruh. That was not an apology.
-
She got a point w nobody wanting to go thru wat kanye went thru...kanye was able to bounce back from all that bad publicity bc he had them HITS...lotta these artist know they might not overcome what kanye went through...as far as the taylor swift n bush backlash...
which makes them be silent...bc they dont wanna ? off white fans n media -
I was still staring at the ? doooeee
-
Pink Print

I could respect her stance of she just kept it 100 and say she don't wanna to ? off white fans instead of trying to use the Kanye situation as a legitimate excuse. ? all this politically correct ? ? , just be honest about it cause you not fooling any black people with that ? kind of response.
-
I like that she isnt the Black lady gaga no more.
-
She lookin good... ? for da win
-
? coward. Kanye didn't get "torn apart" for George Bush. His VMA incidentis what did him in business he still bounced back with great music and the public couldnt deny him.
These rappers are spineless and lack conviction about everything except their own ignorance. -
I like that she isnt the Black lady gaga no more.
yeah shes so hot now that shes not wearing 30 pounds of makeup and dying her hair blonde. -
Amazing how rappers say they don't give a ? about what people say and think but they really do give a ?
