Smokey Robinson: "Motown Is NOT Only For Black People, But Everybody". (JLo Is Part Of Us Too)

[Bolzmark]

Hard to tell dude. With so many negative comments being directed at the icon I can't tell who's joking and who's just stupid.

 

[Master Teacher]

No. Smokey Robinson is worth $100 million dollars. You know how many American classic songs he wrote?



Look, I knew putting JLO in that position was not a good look. Just like there would be criticism if a black star was put in the same position to honor Selena. But you guys need to quit this "c00n" shyt and leave the old heads behind us talk. Black people of his generation went through the REAL struggle. They dealt with racism that you dudes have only seen on tv. Nyqqa they created the term "promised land". If you disagree with the JLO thing, which is honoring something he was a MAJOR factor in, then just disagree. Stop with the "you ain't militant enough" way of thinking, especially when your experiences DO NOT compare.

selena is a cultural icon, if it was eddie sheran or some cac trying to sing some james brown and honor him you would have a point

motown was some cookie cutty we are the world the shyt from the gate

Honestly the backlash wasn't because J Lo is Hispanic


It's because she's not a soulful artist


Replace J Lo with Amy Winehouse circa 2006 or Christina Agulara who who are cacs and nobody would complain because they know they would have brought that soul to the music and they weren't generic pop artist

Put any swagless/souless black artist up there and there'd be the same type of blacklist.


Overall it's got nada to do with her being Latina

Let a black woman perform a song by Selena. During latin Heritage month..

All that "people of color" b.s will be thrown out the window by mexicans.

So, he is still mixed, but has more black in him?

Actually that makes him a regular Ados who are 10-30% cac mixed

No thoughts

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Why nikkas acting like they care about motown. When was the last motown thread made before this JLo performance?

Good question

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

A biracial trying to tell Black people what does/does not belong to us.

He is not biracial.

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

Are you ADOS

Probably not.

He keeps avoiding the question.

lol trolling aside, thatd be dope esp cuz she already did a spanish track w shakira.

we need more POC to infiltrate all forms of media, so that way producers of these awards ceremonies arent just out of touch white ppl, and have a mix of more concious folk who are aware of the tone they put out in their product.

Act like Hispanics, Asians and Arabs care black people brehs. Lol

lol at concious! these people can’t even bother to be conscious in their own damn countries. Let’s start their first.

These countries and regions still practice blackface.
