Sky Ferreira - I Blame Myself is Not Racist lyrics
[Sky Ferreira - I Blame Myself is Not Racist lyrics]
Thank you so much for the love & support
Of the video it's something that means
A lot to me i've never seen such
A big response from my fans before
I've been reading some of the responses
And I had a few thoughts:
Some people are accusing of being
Racist i usually do
Not need to feel the need to explain myself
(which I'm not) but I DO feel the need
To share my thoughts on the situation nothing
Upsets me more than being
Called racist because
That is one of the most hateful
Things anyone can be not only do I find
It insulting towards myself but I also
Feel insulted for the actors & dancers &
My family in the video no
I did not use black back up dancers
As "props" i never have and never will
Look at any human being as a
Prop that's disgusting it's also an idea
That has never crossed my mind
Which is what I find questionable of
The people telling me that I
Did soDancers are objects?!
How dare you! Dancers make things come to
Life if they were white
Would they be considered
"props"? I auditioned a bunch of dancers
All races & my dancers were the best ones i
Know that you have to be socially aware &
Mindful of others but when I
Look at this video
I don't see race as a issueStop trying
To search for something that isn't
There comments like "rich
Little white girl exploiting the
Black people &
The ghetto"i never exploited anyone
& I don't use
People in any shape or form my brother
Is half black my cousins are black
My family is Latina & Native
American some of my family is in
The videoI wasn't raised in
A "white" house hold & I'm not
Little & I have financially
Supported myself since I was 15
Years old i'm a woman
Not a fucking little girl because I have pale
Skin & green eyes doesn't mean I
Was raised in Beverly Hills and have Swedish
Film investor parents or whatever some
Have created in their minds would you feel
More at ease if I danced with
A bunch blonde white boys at a
Mall? Should I consciously only cast
White dancers for now on? If I'm racist
Does that mean you're pro-segregation?! I'm
From LA & shot the video there
I referenced 90s hip hop videos
And Michael Jackson because both
Of those things inspire me & played a big
Part of my childhood the only thing
I'm sorry for is if
This post seems to come off self defensive
Which it isn't meant to bebut I had to share
These thoughts because it drove me up the
Wall don't demean the actors & dancers
In the video they are more
Well spoken & aware than you and
I will ever be please
Do research before you make such shitty
Accusations about people anywaysthank
You SSENSE
& Atom Factory Management & Grant Singer
For making this video happen
We have been trying to make it
For a while & I'm
So glad I get to share it with the world now
