In the woke mind, blacks are perpetual victims and non-achievers. Despite the tremendous worldwide success of black pop stars such as Donna Summer, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and Whitney Houston and numerous others whose music repeatedly hit the top of the charts, Lizzo states that pop music has been and is “racist inherently” to segregate black artists.
The deluded victimhood-mongering Lizzo has also said: “I am not making music for white people,” ignoring the white producers and promoters who made her famous, as well as the white audiences who follow her. The wealthy victim uses white people to attain fame and fortune, then claims she is oppressed.
“Lizzo on stage anxiety, her identity theft, Harry Styles’ music, and why she can’t be defined,” by Entertainment Weekly, November 25, 2022:
,It’s the day before Thanksgiving, and Lizzo can barely contain her excitement. The yams, she tells EW over Zoom, are already calling her name.
One can’t blame the 34-year-old multihyphenate — rapper, singer, flutist, businesswoman — for wanting to indulge in a relaxing holiday. A few days prior, she wrapped up a run of more than two dozen dates on her Special tour, the last two nights of which were filmed in Los Angeles for the HBO Max special Lizzo: Live in Concert (premiering Dec. 31). It’s the culmination of a standout year for her, which also included hosting Saturday Night Live and serving as musical guest, releasing her Emmy-winning reality competition Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, launching her shapewear brand Yitty, releasing her album Special, and unveiling her new documentary Love, Lizzo (now streaming on HBO Max)….
That’s a whole other documentary. Now, also in the doc, you talk about backlash over what you were wearing and people saying that you and your music weren’t Black enough. Is that a stigma of pop music, because the genre can be so white-feeling that if you have a hit there, then people think you’re catering to a specific demographic?
Absolutely. Well, genre’s racist inherently. I think if people did any research they would see that there was race music and then there was pop music. And race music was their way of segregating Black artists from being mainstream, because they didn’t want their kids listening to music created by Black and brown people because they said it was demonic and yada, yada, yada. So then there were these genres created almost like code words: R&B, and then of course eventually hip-hop and rap was born from that. I think when you think about pop, you think about MTV in the ’80s talking about “We can’t play rap music” or “We can’t put this person on our platform because we’re thinking about what people in the middle of America think” — and we all know what that’s code for.
So yes, because of that — fast-forward to 2022 — we have this well-oiled pop machine, but remember that it has a racist origin. And I think the coolest thing I’ve seen is rap and hip-hop artists become pop. Now pop music is really rap in its DNA — rap is running the game, and I think that’s so cool. But we forget that in the late ’80s and the early ’90s, there were these massive pop diva records that were sang by Black women like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. And I’m giving that same energy. I’m giving that same energy with a little bit of rap, and I think that people just have to get used to me. I think anything that’s new, people are going to criticize and feel like it’s not for them. But once you know what it is — just like I’ve got a friend who don’t like avocado but she likes guacamole; it don’t make no sense — but once you get used to something, it might be for you. So for people who don’t like pop music or don’t like Black artists that make pop music, they may eventually like me. I might be guacamole to them. You just gotta get used to me because I’m making good s—. You missing out. [Laughs]…
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I doubt that Lizzo has ever heard of the artistes listed above – Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Donna Summer,… (Whitney Houston imo was more soul than pop): all that was ancient circa the 80s, and since the 90s, rap and R&B is what took over music in the Black community. No wonder they consider pop music racist. But these days, I hear about Blacks participating more in country music: apparently, there is a limit to the profanity laced lyrics that even they can take
Keith O says
Sorry Infidel, y’all wrong on one major point.
RAP is NOT music. Mate, in no way shape or form could that crap be considered music.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
True. I should have used mock quotes
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Donna Summer was the absolute Queen of disco.
“Last Dance”(1978) was terrific – even for those who do not particularly like disco…
david1508 says
“I feel love” is superb. So is 500 pound Lizzo dressing sexy her being serious & trying to look sexy, or is she just having everyone on & it’s an inside joke the way she dresses? In other words, is she being serious or is a joke the way she dresses? I do really like the song “about damn time” I have to admit.
Siddi Nasrani says
She claims she is oppressed!!!!
Reminds me of a Jewish joke, told me years ago.
” Why does everybody tell me to cheer up? I am only happy when I am miserable”
Keith O says
Her “oppression” obviously doesn’t extend to being too poor to buy and eat food, for half a dozen people by the look of her.
tim gallagher says
Well said, Keith O. Not much sign of any oppression or hardship on the eating front. She is absolutely massive. Dangerously obese.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, she is definitely one of the world’s greatest emitters of methane.
tim gallagher says
I have no interest in anything to do with this particular singer or whatever she is. She does have a weird attitude, and a nasty attitude though, in saying that she isn’t making music for white people. I would have thought any singer or songwriter would say that they are creating and performing music for any people who happen to like the music they come up with. The main racism I see these days is anti-white racism and this grotesque looking performer is certainly displaying her nasty racism against white people. This white man has zero interest in her music, maybe I’m missing something worthwhile, but life is too short to waste on obnoxious black racists like her.
Golem2 says
+1
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the +1, Golem2. She seems to have a poisonous, hate filled attitude towards white people. Judging by the appallingly obese appearance of this woman, she may not be around for all that long to spew her poison. I’m sure her doctor would be constantly telling her to stop overeating or she’ll be dead at a very early age.
Golem2 says
Lizzo is FOS
ME Infidel says
Who is Lizzo?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Good question: I hadn’t heard of her before this article anyway
david1508 says
You Tube “about damn time”. It’s a good song.

Lizzo calls pop music ‘racist inherently,’ used to ‘segregate black artists from mainstream’
…………………………………………..
Just absurd–Blacks have been a big part of pop music since before the term was ever used. Not just the artists listed, but also (in no particular order) Marvin Gaye, Prince, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, BB King, Aretha Franklin. Isaac Hayes, James Brown, Lionel Richi, Miles Davis, Count Basie, Lou Rawls, Bob Marley, Mary J. Blige, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Otis Redding, Chaka Khan, Isaac Hayes, Tina Turner, Alecia Keys, Janet Jackson, Tracy Chapman, Gladys Knight, Bobby McFerrin, Barry White, Thelonious Monk, and Sammy Davis Jr.. This is just off the top of my head–there are many more.
Then, Lizzo sneering at and slagging off her White fans is disgusting–but all too common these days. They just have to take it–there will be no outrage on their behalf,
Scotsman48 says
Lizzo WHO?.
All I see here is a clinically morbidly obese black woman with zero sense of style and a command of the English language that would not pass the 2nd Grade in a Third World country but she speaks of the evil nature of the people that made her famous regarding whatever it is she is selling but if this is a Role Model for young black girls in America today then America is worse shape than previously thought.
Dano50 says
Hey Lard-o
People like you will never end racism BUT…
If you’d eat like a normal person and give the rest away, you actually COULD end hunger for a small family.
James Lincoln says
Using the BMI visualizer, Lizzo is deep in the red zone – and a prime candidate for metabolic syndrome:
