to be fair one has nothing to do with the other. They aren't going to tell Miley not to perform she has a lot of fans and the Grammys is still a business for CBS
Exactly, it's a business. Preserving your capitalist agenda while trying to be socially progressive at the same time comes off to me as disingenuous and opportunistic in most cases. Either don't mix the agendas at all, be more nuanced about it, or find ways to actually make meaningful contributions to progressive ideals. Alicia Keys coming out in a headwrap and them trotting out Michelle Obama is just bleh, for me at least.
And I don't think one has nothing to do with the other. They brought out 3 black women + Lady Gaga. I'm not saying Miley should be blackballed either, just don't shove the attempts at political messaging down my throat cause it's not hard to see through that shyt.
