Madonna Says Using The N-Word Was Her Son’s Idea, And Appropriating Black Culture Is White Artists’ Right

Madonna Says N-Word Was Her Son’s Idea, Tells Critics To “Kiss Her A**” Madonna is just churning out those soundbites …and possibly jamming her foot in her mouth in the process. In a new interview , she hides her hands on the usage of the n-word when referring to a boxing photo of her oldest son early last year (which she denied being a racial slur) and says cultural appropriation is a non-concern. Via Huffpost : In January 2014, she posted a photo of son Rocco, then 13, with a caption that included the hashtag “#disn-gga.” The backlash was swift and ended in a rare apology from the very woman who has a new song called “Unapologetic B*tch.” Madonna explains that she only apologizes “when I see that there’s a huge fire that’s about to blaze through the center of the universe and I have to put the fire out — especially if it comes to my children.” In the case of the N-word gaffe, Madonna says it was Rocco who told her how to caption the photo. “It was the one time that I listened to my son,” she says. “It was his idea. I was like, ‘What caption do you want me to put on it?’ And I did. I wasn’t thinking.” But Madonna, who has tried on various cultures and looks throughout her career says that she sees no reason to blast artists for cultural appropriation — a term which she doesn’t seem to believe exists. “Oh, they can kiss my a**,” she says of critics who might accuse her of borrowing other cultures’ fixtures. It’s a topic she seems interested to discuss. “I’m not appropriating anything. I’m inspired and I’m referencing other cultures. That is my right as an artist. They said Elvis Presley stole African-American culture. That’s our job as artists, to turn the world upside down and make everyone feel bewildered and have to rethink everything.” Does seeing a white artist try on another culture to boost their own sales make you “rethink everything” though? Madonna actually contradicts this sentiment a bit when she talks about her motivation for being so controversial over the years: “There’s a part of my character that’s on automatic, that just likes to be a provocateur. And to a certain extent, maybe some of the things that I did didn’t really have any thought process behind them necessarily, but they got attention. I wasn’t really thinking of anything specific. I mean, I could even think of shows that I did on the Lower East Side, when I was first starting in punk-rock bands. I can’t say that every creative decision I made was altruistic or came from the deepest part of my soul or with the best intentions or was really well thought-out or anything like that. Sometimes I just did sh*t, you know? Just to, like, throw a firebomb in the room.” Hmmm…what do you think of what the material girl has to say?

Desperate: Man Makes GoFundMe Page So He Can Stalk His Girlfriend’s Thotty Spring Break Behavior

Sir….please. Man Makes GoFundMe To Stalk Girlfriend’s Miami Trip A desperate Maryland man is making headlines for jumping on the GoFundMe bandwagon by asking people to fund a trip so he can oversee his girlfriend’s spring break trip to Miami. According to the man @Hail_Zel on Twitter, “the sun melts morals” in Florida and he needs to be able to “stay wherever she lays her head, eat whatever she eats, and oversee all parties and fun activity for the duration of the trip.” Is this a joke???? The Washington Post reports: Just when you think you’ve got a good thing going, that special someone books a spring break trip to Miami without you. A few mojitos, some rightward swiping on Tindr, and a few suggestive Instagram photos later — BAM! — you might as well kiss your new love goodbye (Assuming her new Speed0-rocking papi chulo allows it). That’s exactly what Azel Prather Jr., a 25-year-old Glendarden, Md., man was thinking when he turned to the popular crowdfunding Web site GoFundMe after his 22-year-old girlfriend, Marissa, booked a ticket to Miami with her friends for spring break. Estimated cost of said flight: $300 Unfortunately, he noted, his funds have been “exhausted.” “If I had to pick one place for my girlfriend not to go, Miami would be it!” he said, referring to the “Magic City” as every boyfriend’s “worst nightmare.” “I think the sun just melts all the morals in Miami. It’s a free-for-all!” “I will be staying wherever she lays her head, eating whatever she eats, and overseeing all parties and fun activity for the duration of the trip,” he wrote. I’m sure she’ll be thrilled, bro. “Please fellas,” he added in a final desperate plea, “I love her.” “She’s posted on Instagram two times and both times she was in a bathing suit and it received more than 200 ‘likes,’” he told The Washington Post. “I asked her to stop. That’s too many likes for me.” Azel has since made his goal once again proving that people will fund ANYTHING. This was probably just a plot to get a free trip to Miami. SMH… Instagram
