Jane B

I understand where everyone is coming from. she does have a past of using latinx culture as an aesthetic. and brown men and women who wear cholo/a style are often associated with gangs, drugs, violence, where she can do it and be trendy and fashionable. I don't think it's worth getting super heated over, but it's just an observation into how celebrities are able to pick and choose aspects of minority cultures for their own liking

She could be wearing full out chola attire with a bandana top, black lined lips and everything and we could sit here and talk about how bandanas are actually from India and eye liner and hoops are from the middle east and a various amounts of culture use these items in different ways. Almost anything and everything could arguably be from various different cultures. But if we use a little common sense it's obvious where ms. Del Reys inspiration is coming from

it's an american subculture. kind of like how black american culture is different from African culture, but it's still a valid culture with racial implications 

that's what im tryna say. if i really wanted to be unnecessarily nit picky i'd go after her head piece from the paradise tour for being taken from south asian culture. but i'm not doing that. it's just that she has an obvious obsession for latina culture in particular that makes the recent look jump out 

people think shes over? shes never gonna be over. cause she built her entire brand on being problematic. if she was gonna be cancelled it was gonna be back in 2012 when she sang like 3 pedophile songs. her core audience is too strong

NEWS FLASH: This isn't a disney movie. Yes you do choose who you form a relationship with. The kind of people you CHOOSE to surround yourself and support with says everything about you. A person with a thorough understandng of whats wrong with the policing institution and how rutheless and unjust it is doesn't just start dating a cop. ACAB

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.

you guys are being fucking obtuse. it's not "damned if she does, damned if she doesn't"
 
she posted a video in which you can clearly identify looters and posted in to her account w millions of followers, then condemned them on her story, almost confirming she posted the video out of malice

It’s crickets from me luv

I don’t wanna quote the post cause it’d be redundant but I totally agree and concur with your feelings and statements above irvnex!! I mean honestly at the LEAST Lana could retweet links of articles/donation funds and charities etc like it’s really not that hard and it’s an indirect way of having a slight impact like UGH why I just don’t get her

I'm really disappointed, I'm not gonna lie. I can't understand how there are people defending her, I've always defended her even when she hasn't been right or has said stupid things, but this is the first time I feel I can't defend her, it's like I see her differently now and  I don't like it. 
 
She's white, rich, and she've already screwed up many times talking about politics and social topics because she never wants to get too much involved, but last week she had time to be talking about the same thing four days in a row, even tho I think people twisted her words, she talked in a victimizing like tone. She tried to make clear 453935 times that she's not racist, but now she's not capable of talking about such an important topic? I'm 99% sure she doesn't want to talk because she's afraid of being dragged again, but if you're not a racist, then post something and don't give a damn about what people says, bc the fact that she cares more about being criticized than giving voice to a topic like this just shows what i always thoght, that even she's a good person and she doesn't have bad intentions, she doesn't recognize her privilege and that's the main problem with her, she lives in her own bubble and doesn't care about anything that doesn't affect her. Plus, if you' been dating a tv cop that was even accused of being racist and now, after a week justifying yourself and stating non stop that you're not racist, you stay silent, you can't expect people to think that you care about BLM. As i said i don't think she's racist or have any bad intentions but that's not always enough, she has +16m followers, she could easily post a link and it would help, but i guess she's more worried about people dragging her again as if staying silent is not worst, and enough for people to trash her... a mess tbh, i really hope she speaks up and if she doesn't i'm not gonna stop supporting her because she means so much to me but i feel like i'm seeing a side of her that i don't like at all.

I’m sick. 5 years of stanning this girl i expected her to be an ally but she’s really never done shit. I’m tired.

As if him being a white police officer it not enough for you, he works at the Tulsa Police Department which was accused of racial bias. Also, the tv show he works on has been acused of racism several times.

The bare minimum would be posting the Justice for George Floyd petition and a link to donate. That's it. No one is forcing her to articulate about the subject (and she shouldn't tbh) but expressing her solidarity and using her platform to promote change would be great. 

Don't worry, I doubt it'll be coming 
Edit to add that if she comes in with a song that'll still be disappointing. Now isn't the time to be doing that. But knowing her / her managers / whoever (if anyone) advises her on social media, if she does say anything about it it'll be something self-centred like that

Do we? Do we really? Did Lana ever talk about BLM at all? Like the good sis was dating a corrupt cop for fucks sake, how can you be supportive of the BLM movement and against police brutality and then choose to date someone that's the exact definition of all of that? I'm sorry but if she's supportive of the movement she has to go on and say it, not let us "assume" she's supportive because that won't make any difference at all. Actions make difference.

i wish we did know :/ she could just say "black lives matter" and clear things up for a lot of people and her whole reputation.  it's like.. all of her "racist" insta debacle juuuuust happened before things started reaching a fever pitch with George Floyd's murder, and every white person in America is getting thrown a very very clear and easy chance to at the very least simply declare where they stand, and she's not taking it.  who gives a fuck about being called out for double standards more than the lives of people?  she could clear a lot of this up by showing deliberately and explicitly that she believes black lives matter and that she's not racist.  it's very strange to me she cant make a simple post even.
 
healing the "race war" that's been raging for the past hundreds/thousands of years across the world is gonna take more than posts from celebrities, but it has been heartening for me to see just how many people are now willing to be vocally anti-racist at the very least.  i wish Lana would show us for sure she actually cares and has a "good heart" so i can please please please restan.  it's been so hard love/hating Lana :/

I've been on here a very long time and my god this is one of the most racist and disgusting things I've ever seen posted on here. He didn't deserve to be essentially, executed in a fucking street that way. He should not have died at all regardless of what he did. If George was white he would've been alive. Police brutality towards POC is real, it's been happening for fucking decades and everyone from all races should speak up about it. Jesus Christ get some help.

It’s not about the crime! Whether he robbed anyone or comitted forgery or whatever he did. You don’t put your knee on someones neck and suffocate them to death as they cry out they can’t breath. Comitting a crime does not make it acceptable for the police to kill someone. They should only use deadly force to save lifes, not when they’ve already aprehended the guy! I can’t believe I have to explain this stuff.

dont fucking come back 
seriously wtf is wrong with you

chile what is ur obsession with this fan/hater? grow up. many people in the black community were fans of hers and gave genuine criticism about how what she said was tone-deaf.

no one is saying that if Lana Del Rey speaks on this everyone will go home and peace will be restored
 
It’s about the fact that she has a platform and her not using it to advocate for the rights of others shows that maybe it’s not that important to her, which is extremely disappointing.

Well thats all that I think... there's no point to keep thinking about how she feels, seems like she only care about her work, and that's the SAD point
 
Lana is WHITE AND RICH, I can't ignore this

The year is 2020 and fans still dont know that they stan a white supremacist rich woman that live in a white rich neighbourhood with white friends and white fas and still go to her instagram to try make things different

no statement she issues will be able to satisfy anyone her best option at this point is to drop the petition on her story with info and call it a day,we do not know what retribution’s she is making regardless
