Omarosa attributes Bethenny Frankel's 'mediocre' success to white privilege as old riva... - 0 views

  •  
    Following our conversion on the post-racial america, Bethenny Frankel and and Omarosa have had a dispute in regard to Bethenny supposedly having better opportunities because she has 'white privilege'.  It's sad to see that this type of prejudice is still apparent in today's society,

  •  
    On her show, Wendy Williams discusses racial appropriation, and how Miley Cyrus and others, have "picked up" black culture in order to be cool and make money, and then have the privilege of putting black culture away and return to whiteness when they're older.

A Contrarian View of Lady Gaga | Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture - 0 views

  •  
    This can relate to the class discussion on Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' music video and how there is this reversal of the black/white dynamic. This article continues to discuss how Gaga isn't oblivious to her own normativity and how she deliberately plays with her 'whiteness' but in actuality she is then oblivious to to white privilege. Thus the protagonist and in this case Gaga gets the attention while women of colour (beyonce) that are contributing to the redefinition of music and gender performances are marginalised.

Gay Rapper Disproves of "Same Love" - 0 views

  •  
    I thought this short article was interesting after reading about the "homo-hop" genre. It was helpful for me to hear the perspective of a gay rapper echoing Gebreamlak's assertion about Macklemore neglecting to address his white, straight privilege. I also thought it was interesting that Le1f bashes Macklemore for "ripping from" one of his songs. This brings to light the issues of authenticity and copying from other artists, which we discussed in regards to Lady Gaga.
