politelyoffensive:

Sorry, but Nicki and Taylor were both wrong.

Yes, black women don’t get enough credit, but Beyoncé was nominated for having a video w a similar message.

Yes, racism is alive and portrayed in the music industry every day, but you can’t argue racism when 4/5 of the videos nominated had black artists on them.

Yes, you can be mad at the people who don’t nominate your video, but don’t throw obvious shade at the other artists.

Yes, you can defend yourself, but don’t insert yourself into something that you don’t fully understand.

Yes, it’s ok to try to fix a situation, but it’s not ok ignore someone’s legitimate concerns and invite them onstage during your win.

Bottom line: Nicki is mad because her video didn’t get nominated despite breaking the vevo record. Taylor is mad because Nicki subtweeted her* and she thinks that Nicki is being unfair. Both made mistakes. Don’t support Nicki 100% or Taylor 100%.

*nicki did subtweet Taylor. Sorry, but Taylor was the ONLY white female to be nominated for voty. The only person whose video could have “celebrated women with very slim bodies”. Even if Nicki was talking in the general sense, the tweet still threw shade at white female artists and devalued their accomplishments by implying that they got them because they are white and skinny.
