Adele about
Beyoncé in TV Radio Room After Winning Album, Record and Song of the Year.
All talk no action, though. Bring Beyoncé up on stage. Give her the award. AND THEN THE MIC.
I don’t think you’ve thought that scenario thru. If Adele had asked Beyonce to join her on stage, she would actually have forced Beyonce into a terrible situation where Beyonce would be subjected to ridicule and public humiliation.
Beyonce can’t exactly give her prepared acceptance speech to a room full of racist white people who didn’t vote for her. What’s she gonna say? “Thanks for nothing”? She’d have to make up something to say on the fly. She can’t thank Adele for the award without the media calling her a smug/conceited sore loser. She can’t criticize the voters or the organization without being lambasted by the media as both a sore loser and as a “ hysterical angry black woman.”
Anything Beyonce said to that room would have been turned against her a thousand fold – Beyonce and Adele both knew that. Every black person in the room knew that too. In court, defending yourself is not always your best option. You often need a character witness who’ll speak on your behalf. This may not have been a literal court, but the same principle applies to the court of public opinion.
And btw Adele did give Beyonce the award. She said “I cannot accept this award” and then she broke off the base of the grammy (the part that had Adele’s name on it) and gave the trophy part to Beyoncé. Maybe they cut that portion out of the particular broadcast you watched, but it did happen and there are articles about it.
I’m usually the first in line to criticize bad ally-ship. In this particular situation, I honestly think Adele chose the best course of action for Beyonce. She’s a good example to celebs who want to be allies – this is how it’s done.
I hadn’t thought of that before. These are all good points. Thank you.
DnD club vrisrezi. They get in a fist fight after vriska keeps rolling 20’s terezi is convinced it’s magnetic dice . Actually it’s just vriska lying since terezi is fucking blind and can’t tell if it is a twenty or not.
That you post what you want, don't give a flying fuck what others think about it, and that we share interests.
well, my philosophy is that this is my blog so it’s where my thoughts and interests go. The only one I cater to is myself and people just happen to have similar interests.
“The front lines don’t necessarily have to be in North Dakota,” she explained. “The front lines can be wherever you are. You can create a protest in New York City, because protests are about awareness and about people coming together.” She also had some comments about the one thing she wished she’d known when she was taking her now-famous mug shot.
