Current Events > White women are trying to gentrify "keep your head up" by Tupac

(+) Yeah! (+)

imagine gatekeeping womens struggles

imagine taking something of culture significance to other people, strip said cultural significance and repurpose it for other people.

This is why I have you tagged as the friend zone guy

Roe v Wade's overturn fucked women of all colors. Why can't everyone unite over this without infighting?

why can't it represent both? Im sure theres many cases of art that comes to symbolize or represent various other things then what it was originally intended for. As long as a person isn't outright denying the historical reason of the artwork I don't know if thats cultural appopriation but doesn't seem to harmful in the grand scheme of things.

theyre trying to turn it into a song about women struggles and RvW.

have you listened to the lyrics? that's precisely what it's about for the most part.

So who's actually doing this? Was it one white woman on tiktok?

Art is supposed to be interpreted, as long as theyre not erasing the history behind it, whats the problem?

The replies in this topic are hilarious and show both a naive lack of historical knowledge and a complete lack of foresight to see exactly why anyone is pissed about this.

Pac dated Madonna i don't think he'd have a problem with this.

For you to be seen with a black man wouldnt in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting, Tupac wrote. But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my image I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was.

I never meant to hurt you, he added.

Obviously y'all are forgetting the part of the song where he says "but not white women"

he ended up breaking up with her due to her being white:

mind you, this is part of the song: Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice - I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots

and ignoring that the song is not only about black women, but is widely considered the first Pro black women hip hop song.

It took until 1993 to have a rap song that didn't hate black women?
