Liberals blame Adele’s Grammy sweep on white supremacy
2017-02-14
[REDALERTPOLITICS] On Sunday night’s 59th annual Grammy awards, British singer-songwriter Adele took home the top honors. The songstress won all five awards she was nominated for including Record and Song of the Year for "Hello," and Album of the Year for 25.

However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them...
the biggest takeaway was that Adele upset Beyoncé for her hit song "Formation" and album Lemonade. While Adele was thrilled for being the first artist to sweep the top honors twice, many of Beyoncé’s fans blamed white supremacy for her victory.

#20  After all the never ending ranting by and for minorities over the last few years about white supremacy/priviledge, I just don't even listen any more, just ignore them the moment it starts! Its just racism as a tool to manipulate guilt.

#19  Its sad that Adele is silly enough not to stand up for the fact that she won.

#18  this ugliness now comes up every oscars and grammys if a black talent doesn't win

meritocracy + subjective nature of art means sometimes you are not going to win when you think you should

lose gracefully, don't racialise it

how rude to adele

#16  One star is incredibly massy,
One lass is impossibly assy.
Two talents too brassy
But Bey is so gassy
That Nicky Minaj'll look classy.

#14  just who is Beyonce?

"We have the technology." "Stellar!"
Employing a stick and a cruller,
They planned to make Lena
("Yo, man, have you seen her?"),
Inshallah, a sanger of colour.

#13  The only real talent Beyonce has is looking and sounding like a completely trashy slut.

#11  Where did we ever get the idea that we wanted to watch "singers" strip-dance while "singing"?

I like listening to great singers sing.
I like watching great strippers strip.

I don't need nor desire the 2 worlds to overlap.

#10  Adele and Florence Welch are the two most talented female singers of the past thirty years. Beyoncé is at least three steps behind both of them. Sucks to be you, Beyoncé fans.

#9  I didn't know until I watched TMZ last night who won and even then I didn't care.

#8  Now you have gone to far Spusorong, my Chihuahua is totally pissed. His name is Sherman and he is named after the General and the tank. No self respecting Chihuahua would answer to the name Beyoncé whatever that is.

No, Hemingway. But apparently the time away has improved your prose.

#6  These people on the left are completely nuts. The way they look at the world is a very skewed distortion of reality. They need to up their meds and/or get therapy.

#5  Remember the old Soviet Leftist meme about Black Majority rule in South Africa? Seems they don't like it when over 70 percent (plus more when Hispanics ID themselves as Euros as rather than Indians) of the population happens to be white in America. When you tribalize the population, don't be surprise when the largest part of the population looks after their own interests.

#2  What ARE the "Grammys"? Who IS "Adele"? For that matter just who is "Beyonce"?

Beyonce? Sounds like a name for a Chihuahua or a brand of Shower Curtain.

I haven't a clue. Am I missing much?

Was grandma a scary grammarian?
