bummersummer

they're right.
 
she doesn't need to write a personal post - in fact, it's better if she doesn't. this isn't about her. RT posts written by black people & posting donation links would be more than enough. it's not even *just* about making her stance clear in this literal "with us or against us" moment, but abt using a huge public platform to amplify black voices & thus actually help the movement. 
 
and i can't @ people here justifying her silence with "she's taking a social media break" & "but people would just criticize her more". if indeed that's the reason, do you realize how selfish that makes her? that she's just out there sulking via social media blackout & putting her own feelings above human rights?

okay, going OT for a sec just to clarify this hilary duff thing bc i'm seeing people throwing v serious accusations around lightly based on not a whole lot
 
 
 
 
ok pls don't reply to this here so as to not derail this thread.

ok good now she needs to log tf off and stick to strictly music-related posts & tame day-to-day stuff FOR A WHILE, and with as few captions as possible

it's not our fault she's damn stupid, what the fuck was she thinking filming looters AND zooming in on them?! 
 
RT a fucking insta story or, idk, MLK quote, post a donation link & call it a day!! don't make a post for ~the aesthetic, well intentioned as it may be, especially one where you don't even blur out protesters' faces!
 
i'm actually shocked at her idiocy, goddamn.

true, EXCEPT brazil has always dealt with racism-motivated police brutality problems of their own: this happened not even 2 weeks ago & is definitely not a one-off event. so that user acting brand new isn't fooling anyone. cops are cops no matter which country they're in.

if she were a politician i wouldn't be expecting anything, i would be demanding it: a clear statement & immediate action, to be precise. that's absolutely not what anyone's expecting from lana.
 
let's not pretend like we, who regularly frequent lb, don't care more abt lana than on a strictly musical basis. after all, i've never spent my time on any other artist's message board reading abt how their music relates to their presumed relationships, so i'm obviously not checking or care whether those other artists posted abt this issue or not. i care in lana's case, which is why i'm here. if you don't care abt her stance on fundamental issues, that's your prerogative, but don't act like that's where the rest of us should draw the line. 

they're right.
