Why Megan Thee Stallion Performed at Kamala Harris's Rally

[@SilentMarjorie]

What an insult to the intelligence of our black friends and family. Unbelievable

[@00st307-m]

Amazing that people still equate being sexy and hot with lacking intelligence. Maybe it seems too unfair for most people to fathom - that a woman can be hot AND intelligent - and still want to look and feel hot in public. Also interesting how certain dance forms are oversexualized and others aren’t. In the 1800s ballerinas were considered on par w sex workers - and now it’s “classy”. Culture can change.

[@MalenaNow]

The problem is that black women have fought for centuries to not be viewed and treated as over-sexualized jezebels. This pop culture smacks in the face the biggest hopes and prayers of our foremothers. What must unite all blacks is not pop songs or artists but the political drive to be free, empowered, and able to achieve our greatest dreams in America and around the world.

The era in time during which Obama’s first term took place was one significantly different than the one we’re living thru now. The threat of revoking anymore of women’s reproductive rights alone are scary, and then there’s project 2025. Obama is a completely different political figure, even in him being a political figure which differs from Trump being a reality tv star

She has put away more black men in prison than any other DA. Her DA record is an absolute assault on the black community. She did withhold evidence that would have freed an innocent man on death row. Just take the time to look the facts up for yourself.

[@Frey12]

@@nomylearnspalestine if I was going to bare bones it people over property. Feminism and communism are also leftists beliefs. Universal healthcare, unions, a focus on increasing the quality of life of the average person. Being against imperialism and war. Inclusion in political decision making of the "other." These are some really basic leftists beliefs. When Kim critiques Kamala Harris for being a prosecutor that is a leftist critique. I am being general but if you have a more precise question I can elaborate. Also being in support of Palestine including it's resistance is a leftist belief. Being figuratively in support of Palestine but not it's resistance is a liberal belief.

It’s okay to not like MTS being there, but let’s not act like we didn’t just spend the past few weeks talking about “brat” (via a white pop star). She’s trying to reach the youth. This line of critique doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny.

I get the spin, but the pulse of most people found it cringe. It wasn’t just aunties sis. I’m usually with you Kim, but for some - it was just cringe bc of the optics and Kamala’s shift in speech. I feel people are entitled to voice how it made them feel. Most people say that it’s not Megan - it was the fact that they felt they needed to leverage a rap artist demographic targeting or not.

[@kwhodostuff5504]

⁠@@SLYKMfor me, I just thought it was out of place. When I think of Megan, I think of her as a form of escapism, fun music to let loose to and not have to worry about the current state of the world. Her concert was basically one big party and I like that. But when I think of Kamala and the upcoming election, that’s a very harsh reality that I’m sure me and many others are super upset about. The two are practically polar opposite feelings for me so when I saw them on stage together it was just a little tone deaf? Made me personally uncomfortable, like the feeling of someone making a bad joke during a funeral. Like “is this really the time or place for that?”

[@Bre_Creatively]

@@SLYKM that’s your sentiments tho. The same way you have the ability to feel that way - so do those of us that weren’t happy with the optics if it plain and simple. Many of us have different reasons why too. We aren’t a monolith - black folks can think and form opinions outside of presumptive group think. And that applies for whatever our reasons are why we didn’t like it and those that did who are supporting their reasons why. I don’t and never will subscribe to the belief that bc I, a black woman or person just so happens to disagree with what another black woman or person says about this, that somehow I’m targeting my people, or that somehow I’m invalidated in my sentiment bc I’m not pretending her and her campaign are without flaw in my opinion. Nah, not gonna do that. You even went so far as to say that you feel those who had the audacity to have that opinion should “examine” why …. Why? We’ve already told you why. Is it bc it’s not what YOU believe? OR bc your hate for the Orange Man is so great? Let me ask you this, did you not find issue with her changed speech patterns bc in my opinion, in her PR teams mind, they thought that she should change how she spoke bc she was in Atlanta? Smh low key insulting. As an Atlanta native, I don’t speak like that nor do most ATLIENS. But we heard it and picked up on the obvious play, and again, we cringed. I think the Metapoint for most of us is, it just felt disingenuous which she shouldn’t be leading with. With all due respect sis…. I think many Americans and esp those in our community that don’t trust her it’s bc of antics like this (we talking about optically - not even talking about their argument about her resume or politics). She needs a PR team mate to put her up on THAT type of game… don’t do what all the other politicians do to our community if you want to win this by a landslide by winning their TRUST AND RESPECT - show us who you are and bring the policies. But nah - didn’t care enough it seems to do that. And please - next time they should truly consider other women - black women that can motivate and encourage a generation not just entertain at rallies if she must have anyone at all. Most people in this current time we live in, want REAL, many are TIRED of celebrities all around to begin with. It really feels like they playing in our faces when they lead with celebrity now bc we not worried bout them people on the larger scale of things. I mean u could go on and on about how to truly win the respect and attention of black peopke if that’s that’s what they really wanted but doesn’t seem like they give a damn across the board frankly. Anywho - the point is - if she continues to rally like this - people aren’t going to trust her. It’s all folks I’ve talked to have said and frankly they are right in my opinion. Be blessed. 🙏🏽🤍

[@leenaadams6742]

Yes, but also would you rather she doesn’t bring up any black artists? Her way of speech I agree. But also going to these places and not showing up and showing out as a black female candidate would be a missed opportunity and i think people would be disappointed and would criticize her for trying to be “white” i think this is actually the better of the two options because when your a politician there is no way to be genuine

I think your page is very insightful, which is why I couldn't wait to hear your take on this topic, however I do disagree. We know for certain that Kamala has said that she is not going to create policy that will only benefit black people. This is what she has said. From what I have gathered so far from Kamala is that she believes all she has to do to unite black people to rally behind her is to throw some mean greens at us and shake some booty. She could have had someone like Beyonce to perform. I think Megan is very talented and this is not against her, but aren't black people more that hot sauce in our bags, mean greens, and tail. Cmon what about our black youth, what about our schools, nutrition, hell what about our reparations. There should be more to us that unites us than these cheap, lazy tatcis that all the politicians do, but Kamala is supposed to represent more than what she presents.

I cannot put into words the amount of heartbreak and disappointment that I have reading some of the comments in this post. Kim Foster has spent over decade building For Harriet to be a space for black women to explore every aspect of black women’s experiences, free of judgement. Other black feminists like Joan Morgan, Brittany Cooper Melissa Harris-Perry, and adrienne marie brown among others have been doing the hard work of dismantling the systems of oppression that keep black women from being understood as full human beings capable of both taking to the streets or the voting booth for our liberation while twerking and dropping it like it’s hot. And, yet, it seems the work continues. I just saw Megan live in concert and she is amazing! She embodies so much of what I love seeing in a great female MC, just as I love the work of Rhapsody, Missy Elliott, Cardi B, Queen Latifah…I could go on. And yet I know the political and policy terrain well enough to know that we ultimately need free universal healthcare, free public colleges and universities, we need to stop funding endless damaging wars, we need to draw down funding of our bloated and punitive police and prisons to fund social programs that actually keep communities safe such as after school programs, social housing, free public transit and so much more. We need to cease funding the state of Israel until it stops its ongoing occupation and genocide of the Palestinians and build towards a one state where Palestinians are allowed to return home, be given full citizenship, rights, and freedoms. We need to decriminalize drugs and provide safe locations for people to dose in a monitored environment. I happen to notice that many of the people commenting here have all the smoke for Meg, but haven’t articulated nearly what I just described.

Question, if trump had her on would the energy be the same? Used to be a time bw would be upset, oh well

[@DefSquadFan]

Megan should perform for the Republicans. They buy music too.

[@pookiebear97]

@@DefSquadFan I guess smh

[@pri2x0x]

why would Megan agree to that in the first place?

[@anthonywadlington1173]

​@@pri2x0xThat's not the point, whether she would agree to it or not, but if it was reversed you would say it was pandering.

The wickedness of men's heart cause them to love and obey their carnal, evil desires more than the Creator's safe instructon and guidance for their lives, yet when they find themselves in trouble/pain...They expect God/The Creator to deliver them from their bondages and distresses they get themselves into ! Daniel 5:23-24 And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored. Jeremiah 9:23-24 (KJV) Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. ​

The way you predicted this would be a 'hot topic' on the timeline because there were so many 'wAs tHe TwErKiNg nEcCeSaRy' like yes- it wasn't for you, have a nice day!

Why complain ? Yall are gonna vote for her anyway

[@shreehill9641]

So people are admitting that they think a Black superstar couldn’t possibly appeal to anyone other than Black people? Bc again Meg was there to inspire the Youth.

[@mikeala24]

Unlike many female rappers, there's more to Megan than her image. She has a Bachelor's degree, she's into philanthropy, she had enough courage to help put her ex in jail, and she's very big on fitness. Those factors can influence young women.

[@danellymani205]

She did not bring any of that to the rally.

[@love_reka_8877]

They couldn’t bright Ciara or any other ATLANTA artist up there && left all the twerking at the club

[@aspiringrootwoman24]

​@@danellymani205not none of it 😂😂😂😂 I like Meg, she's my go to in the gym and when I want to express my s3xual self and it's not the right mood for a political fight. But Kamala giving us her "look how clever and relatable I am" and awkwardly quoting rappers is what they want us to believe is the best they have to offer

[@rossgrand3812]

Meg was holding up the Baphomet Satanic symbol while holding the mic.

[@gunsmithgary9589]

No, we are not "missing it" its a setback beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Isnt a stallion a male horse with a big cucumber? Why is she calling herself a stallion?

[@antoinetteg9742]

Kamala for all people Kamala not stupid she knows Megan Rap and she twerks more then she done on stage but you have to look at the goodness in people I think Kamala invited Megan to come out a young black beautiful woman giving her support

[@Whodisdeya]

I am black and I don't even listen to music like this and kind of don't like it... what about people like me? I'm always feeling totally unrepresented lol. I would have been happy if they got Lauryn though.

[@Silver74-jo6xy]

A stallion is a male horse. Is Megan Thee Stallion trying to tell us something?

[@rizuejigu7402]

Megan did that!😂😂🎉

[@chuckragsdale2904]

I mean no disrespect but WE'RE not missing it. I'm sure there were little kids and 80 yr olds loving it and repeating her lyrics at work and school the next day but black Conservatives young and old just saw it as a stunt to make it appear that Kamala could draw a crowd

Exactly!!!

The fact Meg thee Stallion was born Joshua Pete makes a lot of sense
