Not only is she ignorant about issues of race, but she’s also deeply ignorant about the history of the type of music she sings. Sad romantic songs are not new, it’s a whole genre in itself, made most famous by the French artist Edith Piaf, and the hundreds of Black women artists since her. Hell, most recently, Beyoncé made a whole movie/album on the subject, and did it more memorably, and more intelligently, than anything Lana has done in her whole career. Beyonce will be remembered, but in ten years we won’t know who Lana was…

As for Megan and Nicky, she’s not even in their league. I’m a huge music enthusiast, have been for four decades, and I don’t know the words or titles to a single one of her songs, but Megan and Nicky, I’m well aware of…

She needs to get up off her herself.

As for the lack of racial insensitivity, she wants applause for, I’m unimpressed. No one gets to be anti-racist just by sleeping with, or being in proximity to PoC. Plenty of slaveowners raped their slaves, and still held them in bondage, and sold off their own children, so the fact that she can stand next to a black person without reflexively calling them the n*word, means nothing to me.

She needs to grow up, sit down, shut up, and listen!
