still so sad that she and karreuche beefed for so long over fist brown

I literally came to make this comment.

First thing I thought. I'm glad she saw how wrong she was and now she's actively working on it.

[syvlie0o0]

Uh no. She literally just a few months ago was dragged by people for wearing a necklace of the Hindu god Ganesh in her lingerie shoot. She appropriates shit from almost every single Asian culture and is completely silent almost every time she's called out on it.

[yussamahal]

Yes. That's true. HOWEVER, and I'm not defending her actions here, that was as a response, as messy as it was, to the attack from Modi's sympathizers when she expressed support for the people in Kashmir and other Muslim regions.

She is really messy but I'm still hopeful she'll learn, and use her platform for the greater good.

[syvlie0o0]

Or, you know, people just saw it as offensive and another incident in her long list of being shitty to Asians.

[yussamahal]

The attacks were first. The pics came second. In Rihanna's head that was a smart way of clapping back. It wasn't.

i love how everyone except ontd forgot

[bellwetherr]

lol this was my first thought

[h_wyatt]
