People Are Upset M.I.A Is Headlining Afropunk London Because Of Her “Anti-Black” Comments

[Mowgli]

Shut this broad down. It's over. Your black pass has been revoked.

fukk paper planes being played in every fukking comedy movie trailer.

Black people in London are actually Africans though they don't need to coopt punk music & dress up in generic African garb to 'find their blackness' or whatever

She basically just called out American celebs who 1) Would never even say "Black Lives Matter" if other people weren't doing it already. Celebs Black and White say it for attention but don't really give a fukk 2) Would these same celebs do it for other people in other parts of the world who suffer? It's a simple question. No. Cause saying Palestinian lives matter is not as trendy.

That's hardly "an anti black comment"

I mean this is true. There's a Nigerian party every other weekend.

I'd go if that bih mia wasn't headlining, and it's potentially bedwench city

I'll be interested to see how they do it over there it could be a huge success, but If they export it as it is in NY I can see a lot of Africans being dumb founded

 

[A187]

what she said wasn't anti black though
just kinda stupid

 

[Action Mike]

I'll be interested to see if they have actual African music that the Africans listen to over there, it could be a huge success, but If they export it as it is in NY I can see a lot of Africans being dumb founded

I'll go next year if they learn from this year, it's a good idea but africans here ain't as far remove from our culture like our american cousins (unfortunately)

MIA headlining a black festival....

Nope.

If you don't agree & go along with anything & everything you're labeled "anti-black"

Being misinformed & ignorant = automatically a anti black white supremacist ..

 

[Melza]

The real issue here is that once again a Black woman is replaced by a second-rate copy. They couldn't find a black artist in LONDON!!! Why couldn't they get Laura Mvula? This is pure and utter BS.

Name of the event is afro punk who said it needs to incorporate straight african music.

Says the CAC female. Very interesting comments here

 

[Fatboi1]

That's just a smart dumb nikka comment for all I know.

 

[ChiefQueen]

I love my outspoken, Sri Lankan activist/badass/entertainer extraordinar.

 

[GodsPerspective]

I don't see any other prominent figures of other races tweeting out to help black causes.

Where the Bollywood actors at?
Where the famous Chinese and Arabs at?

Oh.. they worrying about their own fukking people.

bytch should let us build ourselves up first, then talk about helping others

 

[Jazzy B.]

Eh.

I think MIA has been around enough that she's earned the benefit of the doubt.

If she wanted to highlight the problems Muslims have around the world, she probably could have found a better way to express her point.

But this is an era where keyboard activists pounce the second someone says something they don't like. And right away you're deemed a racist or misogynist or whatever.

I hope she didn't intentionally set out to discredit BLM because if she did, she does deserve a lot of shyt for it.

fukk M.I.A.

Giving "the benefit of the doubt" is why Black People are constantly played and suckered by people like her
