[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Exactly.  I really don't understand why so many are defending that statement.  [b]Just because she didn't grow up dirt poor in the ghetto doesn't take anything from her being a Black women.[/b]

It's clear from many posters here she's being disrespected. (For "pretending" to articulate "The Black Woman Experience")[/quote]

I understand it perfectly. It is how those individuals define Black people or Black women. To the supporters of that statement, the only context they have of a Black woman is poor, uneducated, and unmarried. They choose not to see or recognize anything else. [/quote]

This is not a true statement... I don't have that context of Black women at all... Isn't this in relation to Beyonces visuals and her songs about black women? I 100% recognize more than that visual, however we are talking about what Beyonce is singing about and her privileged upbringing.

I would feel the same if Taylor Swift was putting out visual albums depicting poor white America or if a boy band was singing about Katrina or socioeconomic or race struggles. I get people write lyrics and that songs can be about anything, but the specific lyrics may not be Taylor's experience or that boy band's experience or Beyonce's experience... [/quote]
