Well, in Algeria, lots of berbers have blue/green eyes and light hair, so does Lebanese people. Lots of my cousins do. I understand the point you are making and what you are referencing , but Middle Eastern people have a wide set of looks.
@aidanthereup
These hosts want good TV until the good TV hurts them where it should. It's all good when the contestants cry and feel like shit, but the opposite is scandalous.
@Kyla_Lacey
Wasn't meant to diffuse what you were saying, but rather to provide further context. I completely understand your point and in fact I agree with you. My point is that Arab/Middle Eastern looks are broad. That's it. I'm Algerian, and my ancestors resisted the French colonization

Pourquoi est-ce que les blancs privilégiés résistent-ils de reconnaître l’existence du profilage racial et du racisme systémique? Je souhaiterais obtenir une réponse de quelqu’un qui en fait partie. Merci!
@jtimberlake
So, you'd rather play a role of character rebuilding themselves than actually acknowledging past mistakes you have done in your own life (eg. the whole Cry Me A River debacle, Janet's SB performance, and Kylie Minogue's gropping)? This is hypocritical. You are better than that.
@Kyla_Lacey
Totally hear what you are saying, there's something off-putting in these sort of claims and I understand it. TBF, it's not as if the diversity in the Arab world is truly showcased in any type of broad media, which doesn't help or serve us. Love what you are doing for Palestine!

Also, much better breath, vocal control and vowel placement in B’s performance. Xtina’s vowels and placement is not entirely great in her rendition.

Angelica, if I may, please don’t silence yourself. You have no idea how touching your tweets are/were. Know that there are complete strangers that are incredibly touched and moved by your words. You are important and so are your feelings. 💛

Not going to lie, I didn't even know she performed a track that night because they made it seem like the first performance (the "lipsynched" one) was the only thing that happened that night.
@feministabulous
I do hear a lot of straight men saying that since « Me too » they don’t know how to approach women, which to me is super alarming as I do not understand what « approaching » means to them then. It’s uncomfortable.

Kelis said that this is due to the contract with Pharell which did not allow her to get writing credits, and that Pharell would get hers regardless of his involvement in the OG track. I mean there’s a video where she explains it, clearly.
@breatheheavycom
Funny how in the interview, it doesn't seem to be emphasized enough that they were protecting themselves from their father. It almost frames Britney, implying she has a history of pulling crazy moves.

and all those stations should also share part of that blame... JT was completely incorrect in the way he approached this, but so were all those platforms.

They’ve all read the same briefing not allowing them to firmly condemn these barbaric attacks, as they are all using the same verbiage

And if I may, please do not put yourself in a difficult situation to satisfy your followers morbid curiosity. It's one thing to strategize and exposing what needs to be worked on, but if it's just throwing oil on a fire that will end up burning you; not worth it.
The rhetoric surrounding Karim Ouellet's unfortunate death is filled with entitlement, disrespect, hatred and incomprehension. No one in his family has to explain their relationship at the time of his passing, nor the circumstances leading to it.

Sérieusement, grosse déception envers Québec Solidaire non seulement après le n-word durant les élections et la « liberté d’échanger sur des concepts », mais aujourd’hui avec l’affaire Elghawaby.

To be fair, it's not anyone's place to say to someone that they shouldn't pursue a career, but perhaps, indeed, introspection is needed to find a way to make a living. Don't know that person being grilled, but this industry is filled with roadblocks and gatekeeping. It's hard.

Quand c’est le temps de parader la diversité tout monde veut le faire, c’est quand les portes sont fermés ou à huis clos, que le racisme prend une place à la table.

Perhaps but Israelis are not Berbers. Berbers are natives of North Africa. Before Arabs and before the French colonizers. I can’t pretend I’m a representative for all of them of course, but I was born of two Berber parents. My mom has green eyes and her mom blue eyes.

C'est vraiment la manière qu'il parle de tout ça comme un pitch de vente, comme si les enseignants essayaient de dire aux enfants qu'être une personne transgenre ou être une personne gaie, c'est plus cool que d'être hétéro. C'est profondément ancré dans l'ignorance comme propos.
@PopCrave
This is just another opportunity for him to make more followers. He is litterally saying in the first few minutes that the media are not portraying him accurately which satisfies his narrative. He is a master manipulator. He immediately gives credit to the specialist he invited.

Fair enough, but he has pretty much already been cancelled already. He released three songs since 2020 with zero traction, and after that Superbowl performance of 2018, he is pretty much nowhere to be seen. Man Of The Woods was shredded to pieces too. I guess he wants to move ⏩
No management. Secured a song playing daily on Sirius XM.
No management. Secured a spot on a festival expecting 10K people.
No management. Secured a 60K$ grant funding from the CCA.
No management. Booked an established Quebec artist on a self-produced track.

Le "C'est bon, bro" à 1:30 est hilarant. Je veux dire quand tu veux bond avec quelqu'un parce que tu t'es fais prendre dans le summum de ta connerie.... j'ai pas de mots.
May this serve as a warning to politicians. What do you think will happen when people stop believing in democracies? This is precisely why y’all should be scared.
2023 has completely and fundamentally changed my world view. I was never naive enough to believe that the world viewed all lives equally but I did believe that with enough collective power we could stop catastrophic events.
@uncletwirl
They probably have a scarcity mentality, which is common in the industry because it is tangible. However, it comes from the wrong place and it's 💯 misdirected anger.
Also, I don't understand why

's attention, but somehow, this news has not yet captivated our local entertainment industry. I'm so confused.
You would think that in an era where misinformation runs rampant and where we see its consequences, that this would be something politicians would be weary about. This ultimately leads into alienation in our systems, which pushes people to find alternative ways of questioning.
@mirolaflaga
You can innovate, but the real problem relies on people making millions/ couple of hundred of thousands and still benefit from those. You remove the grants in Quebec and all those music labels are dead. No exception.

And don't get me wrong, I think Taylor Swift is super talented. The only thing I slightly dislike about this is this obsession to confer value to human beings based on how smart and cunning they are as business people. It's tired.
@jessejanderson
Mind you, I've had a reference from my doctor a year ago, and I never mustered the courage to go until last week, because I know there's something in there, and I'm terrified of the outcome. And I got that shitty answer.
M'Hidi: And doesn't it seem to you even more cowardly to drop napalm bombs on defenseless villages, so that there are a thousand times more innocent victims? Of course, if we had your airplanes it would be a lot easier for us. Give us your bombers, and you can have our baskets.
Plamondon and Legault are so out of touch with the immigrants of this province. Imagine how exhausted we are hearing them gaslight us every minute of every day.
If I can accomplish all the things I have planned for next year, there's no way Jade Above is not a name everyone in Montreal will know. I will make damn sure of it!
