akmelza:here-at-home:silverdreaming:jollysaintnik:stereksextape:cheshiresgrin:awfully-distracted:secondgensoldier:mistergaskarth:Lily Allen’s new song ‘Hard Out Here’ owns Blurred Lines.Except for the fact that a white singer is still using black bodies, particularly black women, as accessories and oversexualised examples. You cannot fight misogyny using racism.Guys omfg this needs to stop, you really always have something to complain about.Tumblr is seriously creating a generation of moralists who have nothing positive to say about anyone.What if she had used white females? Would she have been white washing? And what if white dancers were “twerking”? Would you talk about cultural appropriation?Please take a look at the video and notice the little man trying to tell her and the dancers what to do: he plays an important part in the video.He is playing those people in the music industry who tell female singers that they need to be sexy and stuff to be successful, and he is also the one guiding the dancers.He criticises her for having the body of a mother of two, he tells the dancers how to move their ass, and also tells her what expressions to make while cleaning the wheel rim.Listen to the words. They’re fucking good.#no one is exploiting those black women EXCEPT FOR THE GUY WHO REPRESENTS THE MUSIC INDUSTRYWhy would you even try and prove a point by discrediting another relevant point. Lily Allen didn’t have to use all black women she could have used women of all colors and sizes, especially if she’s proving a feminist point. YES! If the white women were twerking that would have been cultural appropriation deal with it, and quit trying to talk over WoC when they point out problems in white feminism and the lack of intersectionality.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????There are white women dancing and being expoited just like black women and there are women of all sizes in the video did you ACTUALLY WATCH IT??? The white girls aren’t even twerking so there is NO CULTURAL APPROPRIATIONTHERE IS AN ASIAN GIRL TOOI don’t know what else this video could have done, reallyyou guys are impossibleI didn’t notice this wow.You know that thing that people are mad at Lily Allen for doing? For exploiting POC dancers? THATS THE THING SHE IS MAKING FUN OF. It’s satire of the fact that the music industry does that to not only POC but women in general. Racism and sexism are not mutually exclusive. Both issues are being tackled because they intertwine. It would be impossible to make something talking out about sexism without it also having ties to racism, classism, etc. -- source link
