I’m sorry but I think taylor swift haters have officially lost their minds. You don’t have to like her or listen to her songs, but to accuse her of racism for using the words onyx and opalite? And for using lightning bolts on her merch? Insanity lol

The point of dog whistles is plausible deniability. And ur saying her lighting bolts isn't slightly similar to this? Please wake up and realize she either has no POC or diversity in her team or she's having dog whistles. Either way is wack.

I could explain to you how her use of terms like “savage” and “bad bitch” are racially charged but I’m sure you would find any excuse to deflect that so what’s the point. I’m not gonna charge your mind, just call you out for what you are.

How are they racially charged? You’re still not explaining. I could also explain to you how the context of the song proves that’s not racist. The song is about not fitting in but trying to be cool (by using “cool” terms and slang) but still failing because she’s the “not cool older sister”. It’s about how even tho she’s not cool she’ll still be there for you (or whoever). Like you have to look at the context of the song PLEASE

Pretty sure I remember reading the story behind that picture (which was taken YEARS ago) that she didn’t even know that guy and took a quick picture with him as a fan without paying attention to his shirt. Now obviously she should not have knowingly taken a picture with him wearing that, however I find it very hard to believe that she would risk her career knowingly doing that.

I simply don’t think using lightning bolts on her merch equates to being a nazi. Millions of people use lightning bolts every day. And the ones on the necklace don’t even look like the nazi ones anyway. AND they are not random they are in reference to her lyrics about lightning.

The fact that I’ve seen more white people online calling this shit racist and more people of color agreeing with me. Like this has nothing to do with skin color girl and every thing to do with critical thinking. Try it.

So you don't have to accept it, but just understand where people are coming from. Because to people of color, it's clear she either had no diversity on her team to say "hey maybe we should change the design" or it's a dog whistle

If you had critical thinking skills you'd understand that ur race can impact ur experience in America and thus can make you more perceptive of dog whistles. You've probably had the privilege of never having to be taught to watch out of people who have symbols like this on their body.
