She seems so much more soft-spoken than I would've imagined her to be, based on her writing.

@2Baiforev Exactsly. Madonna has used, exploited and even kidnapped from Black culture. There is nothing graceful nor sincere about her methods. The woman is a nasty snake. Her karma has come back but surely nothing as bad as what lays ahead.

Great points about Madonna.

@lucyintheskywithcake  Wow, you need to read the text in "Madonan is a copy paste Queen of Rip offs" on Listal. You are deluded.

[BrickLaneBetty]

Respond to this video...  "Dominant woman" don't pay for sex with much younger men because they are no longer desirable.

@lucyintheskywithcake funny how you want to rationalize how racist this stupid slag is. GO AWAY.

[lucyintheskywithcake]

its funny how female artists are ALWAYS questioned for everything they do. Male artists don't have to think about anything, they make music about money and lyrics that are denigrating to women and perform in the most sexist ways but they are never questioned. Whenever a woman actually tries to bring a difference, suddenly we have to criticize her and jump on her, its as if women who actually TRY to do something different, are getting criticized by the women who ASK for difference. Really?

[lucyintheskywithcake]

and somehow pretending that you were allright with what she did - as a dominant female - in the 80s and 90s? she's still dominant, she's still fighting sexism. look at her latest videos: she's doing what pop culture and society don't want to see her do. this video only proves that you're more narrow minded than you think, because the only reason you can find is "money". this is the same icon who refused to wear bras and shave herself. don't forget it.

[lucyintheskywithcake]

And also: money? maybe there is something more to it. madonna maybe just felt that she showed herself as a dominant woman but now wanted to show another side of her. gimmick? if there's anyone being a gimmick, it's people like lady gaga or boy george, katy perry in her "e.t" video or rihanna. there is more than madonna. madonna became a mother and got more interested in spirituality. its funny, you feminists were mocking her since the start and now that she changed, youre mocking her again

[lucyintheskywithcake]

@celena332 you are lying. full out lying. there are stories doing the rounds even on flickr accounts from people who used to know madonna back in the 70s, and they were bragging about pushing her down the stairs, putting acid in her hair, putting their heels into her stomach. she lost her mother, she was pushed around. if ANYONE had a hard childhood, its madonna.

Madonna does come back to white supremacist ideas. bell hooks is the truth. Madonna is very sad, "black men are the most sexist people on the planet" come on.... let's stop .... bell hooks is right, the color of green allows the collusion of all this: assumption "we all share the common morality of the dollar"
