EVERYONE should be speaking up about this.
No excuses. Absolutely irresponsible to not make a stand with his platform
Post Malone releases statement:
Response: “Wtf does he know about the plight of a black man in America??? All he did was steal black culture for profit. He doesn’t know what it it’s like!!!”
Post Malone doesn’t release statement:
Response: “Why the f*** isn’t Post speaking up? He took black culture for profit and now doesn’t want to say anything?”
when did Post release a statement about black issues? I'm not even tryna be mean here I wanna know lol

He didn’t lol
My post was hypothetical.

well, tbh I think if he said something I personally at least, would take it similarly to how Billie and Taylor did. If he didn't do it all the way right, I'd at least acknowledge how he tried. That's something, more than nothing.
F*** a hashtag, he should be donating or using his platform to promote the places where his fans can donate. He's a vulture and owes everything he has to the community that is suffering rn
how do you know he hasn't donated anything?
are you guys gonna make a list of people who didn't tweet about this certain injustice and try to cancel them? is that what's happening?
I like his music, I don't care about anything outside of that when it comes to Post Malone.
same
i understand the argument that big-name rappers have a lot of presence at influence, and should therefore be using it as a platform to speak on issues
but the truth is a lot of these celebrities either dont care, are too far removed from the situation to appear as genuine, or sometimes simply not even eloquent enough to express a view thats worthwhile. i think there are worse things to be focusing on than ‘why hasnt _ said anything yet??’

You’re right and I’m sure a lot of people would take it like that as well
But there would definitely be people saying the stuff that I made up in my post.
That’s why i don’t think anyone should be made at anyone for not speaking up. Some people just don’t want to be involved in controversy and there should be nothing wrong with that.

True. People are always gonna nitpick and say it's "not good enough" and some of the things you said in your earlier post. We (as a group) have complained about black and white artists not speaking and when they did speak something was wrong with it.
Drake's wasn't good enough cuz he didn't go out and protest, Beyonce had a bad filter and her eyes looked weird, Billie's was just a PR move to pander to the people, etc.
It's never gonna be good enough.
how do you know he hasn't donated anything?
I don't. I said he should be and if he is then he's doing the minimum that a person in his position should be

Never really rocked w Post, once he ascended to pop and officially used hip hop as his stepping stone I didn’t want to fw him

That’s exactly what’s happening. At this point I’m looking at niggas funny
U guys really putting in so much effort searching left & right for celebrities to say something & be hella pressed if they don’t
Not his place to speak up. I’d be more concerned about the black artists not saying anything. And even then, I wouldn’t be very concerned overall cuz it’s their life. How about you do the most you can to support this cause and move it forward op?
His is dumb as s***
