PSA to everyone who still doesn't see why people find Lanas posts racist. A YouTuber named "for harriet" has a video explaining it. its pretty long but i think she does a good job at explaining everything very cohesively . there are other vidoes explaining the point of view but i think hers is the best

Lana did however claim to have care and support for the black community in her instagram video. if someone has millions of dollars and a huge influence on millions of kids around the world, i just don't buy that you get to do nothing with all your power and still claim you advocate for them
 
Just because she didn't say word for word BLACK WOMEN CANT BE DELICATE does not mean that it wasn't implicitly suggested 

She had so much to say about how much she cares about the black community when she was trying to prove how not racist she is.... radio silence from her when the black community is in crisis though

Yes agree. Lana could have atleast showed she UNDERSTOOD how it was constructed poorly and was racially insensitive, she could have apologized for it tbh, during this political climate idk how she didnt realize mentioning all those black women would have been a bad idea..  
Excusing people who were offended is counter productive I have to admit.. comes across unempathetic too. even if they are wrongly offended its not entirely their fault they took offense to it at all, I believe for white people, they should be mindful, careful and self aware of how their actions and words could come across tbh, think twice before!! might be tiring or even burdensome for them but so is systematic racism for us lol

Yes everyone has the right to have discussions about all sorts of topics, and i'm not accusing anyone here of doing that but i just mean in general the problem is just that too often marginalized groups like poc don't even have their viewpoints heard at all because it gets excused by white people. Lana excusing everyone who found a problem with their post as crazy hyper vigilant liberals/trump supporters and people excusing it as just "you don't know how to read right" is an example of that.  Talk WITH marginalized groups but dont talk OVER

Ok well i sort of agree that "racist" isn't the right word. Cause when people label others as racist it's just very unhelpful. But what I am considering it is racially insensitive. Only a white woman with no self awareness in their privelage and pretty much zero understanding of black history and issues in america would be able to type this out and see nothing wrong with it
 
uh yeah thats a no from me. white people have nothing insightful to say about poc issues, men have nothing insightful to say about womens issues, etc etc. its a simple matter of staying in your own lane and not talking over people who are more entitled than you to speak on the topic

Agreed. It was racially insensitive. I think she was being very self absorbed and narrow minded, focusing 100% on her own issues so she didnt take a minute to think outside of herself and how the way she constructed her message would offend others. I truly hope she learns from this. She was defintely impulsive and caught up in her emotions and her own little world, wherein, as a white woman, she doesnt experience any race issues so she probably never really thinks about issues like this unless its a hot topic like atm. I know she does alot for native amerucans but I still doubt she REALLY thinks into racism in America. Again she lives in her own little world. I could be wrong but this is just my opinion atm

pls. just because you can't comprehend whats so obviously wrong with lanas posts doesn't mean people who can are going out of their way to get mad. Tons of people who are huge fans of her and want the best for her are mad about the post too. Have you bothered trying to get the other perspective on the matter? if you just look it up on youtube there are tons of black women who take apart the statement, clearly show they comprehend lanas intentions, but point out the problems they find with it

I just hope she brings back the cinematic and glamorous sound we were used to in 2012-2014

she said what she needed to say about lanas white feminism back then already and no one listened to her    

Tbh it wasn't really just "one sign of troube", Lana has bordered a lot of problematic stuff for a long time, she's put her tone deaf-ness on display in the past before. This might have just been the straw that broke the camels back, or the fact that she wants to make it clear she doesn't agree with Lana here

TBH her response to Azaelia Banks back then... just wasn't it. like yeah i know banks is crazy but she didn't even say anything personally insulting to lana, she just criticized her activism and instead of even considering what she said and explaining why she disagrees, lana went straight to "i wont not fuck you the fuck up!!". bonus points for randomly deciding to use AAVE when talking to a black woman

 
am i stupid or something for just seeing the institution as metaphorical? considering how obsessive some fans are, if she was in a mental institution we would have known

I doubt marina and lana were ever actually friends. They probably just got together to feed the fans since everyone was begging them to.  Marina and Lana have completely different personalities, marinas super invested in being a good role model and being "woke" like u said. Lana as we know, doesn't care and takes no criticism. marina probably hated lana from the start.
 
Also can you explain the thing about love + fear and her acting superior? tbh i never had the motivation to listen to the whole thing

groupielover on instagram, one of the accounts that was in the groupchat lana replied to, is live right now  and talking about it btw
