Iggy Azalea Thinks Beyoncé's "Becky" Line From 'Lemonade' Is Racist
Becky is a "stereotypical white girls" name this is true Becky is usually a name associated with a white girl of means and status or a Valley girl. Now this may be a stereo type but it's not one created by or used exclusively by blacks and certainly not a racial slur. It was created and perpetuated by Hollywood & the American media which the last time I checked was not controlled by blacks. #OscarsSoWhite #Again The (black written) TV Show Empire goes as far as to play with this stereo type by naming the very dark skinned blonde weaved Gabourey Side's character proclaims "what? My mom's white" in response to her name being Becky.
Using Becky is hardly then same as Shaynaynay, Saynaynay is a horrible characature of ghetto girl stereotypes like Catherine Tates Lauren or Little Britain's Vicky Pollard (who are white) youtube them you can thank me later. Furthermore, Becky was not targeted at anyone specific or any group, it was used to describe an unknown character who may very well be fictitious.
This comes down to context & knowledge of cultural vernacular. "You better call that white bitch you been fucking" is racially insensitive for sure but even the context affords it some slack and is not a reversible situation. You don't see a lot of white girls going to the extreme to meet the standard of beauty as say a Lil Kim who stated "I'm insecure...every man I've been with has cheated on me with women who have more European features" She was always made to feel not good enough. Notorious BIG longtime friend and lover dropped her to marry Faith "Becky with the good hair" Evans a fare skinned black woman with more European features whom he hardly knew. Look at her now Literally the same weekend Lemonade drops so does Kim's new look. This is why the situation doesn't work in reverse and complaining Becky is offensive, even if is, is petty. The term describes a woman of affluence who is recognized as the GLOBAL STANDARD OF BEAUTY. There's a huge difference between that and referring to someone as the most ratchet character one can think of.
...The irony is thats lost here is Becky is probably NOT a white girl
Black people do not refer to white people as having "good hair" they refer to mixed race/ native american/ east indians. "Good hair" is reserved for people of mixed heritage. "Oh you got good hair, you got indian in yo family?' The term actually implies a softer textured black hair.
Another interesting thing of note is Iggy has never had a problem with this before Beyonce's use when hip hop the field she's constantly being accused of misappropriating has used the term for literally decades. Not only in the song flashed here but that very song including that line was sampled not too long ago by Niki Minaj. If she truly had a problem why is this the first time we're hearing about it. Could it be that she has a new project out?
Fans stunned by Lil' Kim's new look~ Your F*kn White You have no MELANIN...
"More blonde"..? Uh No. Like this is the first time Kim has done blonde and hello roots?
"Making her hair lighter" are you serious? With all the shit she's done to her self you've gonna come for her hair The woman who has worn literally every single color in the rainbow hair and damn near all of them in a single video #PETTY
Why does every one feel so bad for Kim? Does she not look happy is it NOT HER LIFE to live and or fuck up? Or are people just upset that she's not what they want her to be. When people tell you who they are in life you need to listen. #Blackbarbie
It boggles my mind that people can't tell 5:55 these are different times of day different make up different lighting
Ergo 6:24 the pic of kim next to Mariah Carey she's only a few shades lighter this photograph is from the 90s Yea take a good look. Kim latest selfie is in a white room and obviously is using some sort of ring flash/ beauty dish/
Note there are no shadows and most every thing is blown out
Who compares a pic of a 41 year old who has been known to have some work done to their 17/18 year old self
I'm starting to wonder who's really the sick ones here
I don't get the surprise there are pics of kim straight up looking like the cat lady ....too much work leads to more work.... yet the discussion has never been about her shifting features or the numerous surgeries or the alleged body sculpting it's about a shitty not very well lit pic from over 20 years ago as compared to what's clearly an over lit photo with makeup that's much lighter
Where's the reason?
