Kendrick noteably has a song about his uncle (a trans man) and his cousin (a trans woman) that is probably up there as one of his most heartfelt songs of all time, but I remember on an old blog where I once posted one thing about Kendrick and someone immediately jumped into my inbox berating me for talking about an antisemitic artist (and similarly to the above anon, they had completely confused their information).
I know Kendrick isnāt perfect, but I used to talk about a lot of artists on my old blog and coincidentally it was only the Black artists that had multiple people explaining to me exactly why I shouldnāt listen to them, with baseless and incorrect information that they hadnāt bothered to look up properly. I donāt just think this anon is being racist, I know they are because the second you mention a rap artist, it seems like every white person on tumblr has to crawl out of the woodwork and try to hide their overall disdain for Black artists with random excuses as to why those artists are the most dangerous and violent people alive.
Youāre not slick. You couldāve spent five seconds searching up āKendrick Lamar and trans womenā into Google and youād immediately be linked to Auntie Diaries, but you decided to choose a misheard lyric in a song that didnāt mention trans women once and berate someone for sharing a single Black artist. Iāve seen these games before, anon!!
And not just any Black artist, either, but one who is likeā¦ actively trans supportive! Iāve said it before, but Kendrick Lamar has done more for me as a trans man than pretty much every white popstar that tumblr loves to put on a pedestal for simply saying āprotect the dollsā once in an interview. Kendrickās not the perfect ally, but he sure as hell is a genuine one.
Anyway, go listen to Mr Morales & The Big Steppers.
