That being said, I don't think what OFWGKTA or Tyler, the Creator are doing is honestly that new or fresh, it's just the new thing in the spotlight.
I like the music, but all of Tegan and Sara's arguments were legitimate IMHO.

To be honest this whole situation reminds me of a few lines that Em said years ago and all the censorship bull**** he had to go through. Idk why you are okay with forgetting about the past.

I don't know but I feel I could take the heat without getting offended, fully knowledgable that its a work of fiction. Obviously not everyone feels the same.

You know why? it's called white privilege.

Being black isn't a huge part of my individual identity but it's constantly thrown in my face all of the time because humans as a whole are superficial. If I walk into a store, I get stared at like I'm going to steal something. When you have to deal with racism on a daily basis then you will think differently about it.
