I never knew Tina Turner was down for the Movement like this

I have no issue with Africans
I just wish they wouldn't handwoven whenever their ppl looked down us

It's not the same because in some states Black ppl don't even grow up around Africans

As more non Black migrants come over, I think it will be more important for us to come together

I don't disagree and I wish it could be different, but I treat all disrespectful fakkits the same. If that aint (the rhetorical) you, we good.

She apologized for those African comments later on. But her love for white people was strange seeing as that she grew up picking cotton

A lot of our elders were broken by the effects of generations of terrorism.

Tina is not unlike Michael Jordan or any other celebrity that was catered to by cacs.

The moment they are rejected by them...they come running back to us to console them.

She's a rich successful woman (was) and has her own mind and experiences.

She doesn't speak for all Black women...or Black people for that matter.

Ali was over there 2 years before that and didn't shyt on them while they was under developed.
I don't even think Don King was that ignorant.
She really shout have kept that to herself or discussed it with her own.

Ali was Aii. He didn't care about typical celebrity shyt.
Tina is one of the early Diva prototypes. Of course she will be on some uppity shyt.

This digging up shyt from decades ago (when most of these twitter fukkers were not alive and prob have no idea of the conditions back then) to find something to be offended about is fukking corny.

Context morons.

Remember this was in 1976. Many of those countries recently became independent. Do you really think those countries were as developed back then as they are today?

Of course a celebrity would complain when compared to more metropolitan and developed cities.

Calling Africans lazy was some c00n shyt to say in the 70s too.

I'll cut her some slack and say that she was materialistic person, not necessarily motivated by self hate
She was famous, had a lot of money and internalized trauma
Europe provided escape, sense of fashion, and pretty much access to what she enjoyed

Tf being materialistic have to do with calling Africans lazy?

That goes for everybody.

Everyone needs to learn that.

I knew the heel turn was gonna happen fast ass fukk on her

 

[Northern Son]

That's why I didn't give her an "RIP"

 

[NoirDynosaur]

Her trauma dealing with Ike Turner and her upbringing influenced her to pedestalize Cacs

On some Jesse Lee Peterson type ish

 

[Premeditated]

damn, i blocked all of these things said about her years ago. she really was
it's been a day and a half since she's passed, so I think it's okay to criticize her now.

You mean like people on the Coli do?

we'll bring up their quotes if they die too
