thebrokenhunterandhisbrokenangel: worldofdrakan: its-heaven-nowadays: More Macklemore, less Robin Thicke. And yet a huge percentage of Tumblr hates him. Not trying to be confrontational, but could someone please explain to me why this is? Because he is a straight white guy and Tumblr isn’t always right. Yup. A lot of people like to ignore all the good things he does simply because he is part of the privileged. Never mind that he flat out acknowledges this in Same Love. (“I may not be the same, but that’s not important.”)

White people of Tumblr, you still don’t get it. You will never get it. Why? BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT YOUR ISSUES UNLESS YOU ARE QUEER AND/OR A PERSON OF COLOR. The reason why so many Queer and/or PoC hate him is because he uses issues that aren’t his to make said 5M. He rides on the backs of Queer and/or PoC folk who have been saying what he is saying for fucking YEARS and (yet make little to no money as artists that talk about the same issues), but this motherfucker gets big by one song and OMG THESE THINGS MATTER ALL OF A SUDDEN. Why is it that white people only come to understand why these issues are important only when another white person talks about it? So, yes. It does matter that he is fucking white. You don’t get to take issues that aren’t yours and talk about them like you know about them. Fuck all of you that agree with this. You are shitty allies. Go back to step one. You still have a fuck lot to learn.
