ZigZig Zputnik, how many videos are you going to comment on? You're clearly uncomfortable with black women, and can't stand that people want to elevate and compliment an artist they respect. I'm sure you dont do this on white women's videos. Have a little self-respect, leave people alone, and rethink your opinions on race
@beboppalooka98977 жыл бұрын
ZigZig Zputnik Stop being so sensitive. It's not "race baiting" to say that black is beautiful. Go to any comment thread on a political video and you'll see countless people putting black people down. Maybe it's just a bit of self affirmation; to contradict all the voices telling black people that they are less than everyone else. You hear "black people have worth" as "white people are worthless". In fact why are you even watching this? How can anyone so confrontational actually have decent taste in music? Did you actually just come here to argue with someone who suggested that black people are attractive?

Bro Bear Prince, I see/hear/feel you! Laura Mvula has a message that is empowering and enlightening. She is a woman of intelligence, grace and beauty and challenges others to find those same qualities inside themselves; to embrace them, respect them and insist that others do the same. It is always the habit of the ignorant to attempt to destroy that which they fear or do not understand. But you know what my mother taught me? "Ignore ignorance!"
