I saw a car hit a deer driving home from LA tonight, I didn’t even know Los Angeles could sustain the existence of deer.
Black people, and other people of color, are constantly expected to ‘wait their turn,’ or ‘wait for the right time.’ And magically, the ‘right time’ never seems to come. Is it any wonder, then, that they speak – angrily – at the ‘wrong times?’ Nicki Minaj did just that, and in response to Cyrus’ casual dismissal of her concerns by focusing on how ‘rude’ she was about expressing them, called Cyrus out at a live awards show.
No, it’s not ‘nice.’ Yes, she is a woman calling out another woman angrily. But if you’re looking at how Minaj handled the situation, rather than looking at the injustice of the situation in which Minaj and other black women in the music industry constantly find themselves, then you’re part of the problem.
it sounds like we would have had a great deal
to say, to say to each other
i bet when i leave my body for the sky
the wait, the wait will be worth it
i love it all, so much i call
i want you back
