Dude Macklemore is kinda a piece of shit.
Here you have all these black artists calling someone out for glorifying traumatic realities of black Americans and reminding many non black Americans that these communities are STILL suffering
And then here comes Macklemore riding on the tails of black artists like he always has. I’m not saying wanting a ceasefire is bad- but demanding it by DIRECTLY putting down something that multiple black artists have deemed important enough to speak out about is fucking gross.
He didn’t have to bring up Kendrick and Drake, he not have to insert himself as a white man into a feud about someone glorifying black pain and he definitely didn’t have to make it out to seem unimportant compared to ‘real’ problems. He could have put out music and done a fundraiser without putting down black artists.
And the worst part is it’s just a reminder of how much people will actually listen to black voices.
You can care about multiple problems at once without putting one down
