Fair or foul: “I wish Angela Davis got the love Beyonce gets.”

[Rembrandt Brown]

This seems like an innocent comment to me. Of course we would be better off if we lived in a society that valued people like Angela Davis over Beyonce.

NONAME DELETES TWEET ABOUT BEYONCÉ FOLLOWING BACKLASH

The Beyhive was not here for a tweet in which rapper NoName mentioned Beyoncé.

NoName tweeted, “I wish Angela got the love Beyonce gets,” referring to American political activist and philosopher, Angela Yvonne Davis.

NoName continued, “It’s cool seeing all the Angela Davis threads denouncing the need for idol worship and highlighting how celebrity is a capitalist project which Dr. Davis is fundamentally against. big facts. I still wish the world stopped and listened when she spoke the way it does for others.”

Now, it seems like the tweets were harmless, yet, after receiving tons of backlash from Queen Bey fans- NoName deleted her tweets and haven’t been active on Twitter since.

Fans have mixed reactions to the tweet. Take a look.

How many people from the beehive know the name or history of Angela Davis?

 

[TimRock]

Oh boy. Just another individual looking for attention, that's all this is. She could have chose a bunch of other women. Yeah, like we don't have enough to worry about these days.

 

[dasmybikepunk]

 

[34real]

I wished they knew the name too,fuck them beehive people going in for someone who wouldn't piss on em if they were on fire.

 

[ugk]

Stan culture is the fucking worst. Beyonce's stans are especially cancerous.

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

Oh boy. Just another individual looking for attention, that's all this is. She could have chose a bunch of other women. Yeah, like we don't have enough to worry about these days.

What we should be worrying about "these days" are the reason she specified Angela Davis!

 

[TimRock]

"These days" are the reason she specified Angela Davis!

Yeah ok. Like I said, shes just looking for social media attention. What do these days have to do with Angela not getting the attention she deserves?

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

Yeah ok. Like I said, shes just looking for social media attention. What do these days have to do with Angela not getting the attention she deserves?

Have you heard anything about defunding the police, prison abolition or reimagining criminal justice lately?

 

[jasonblacc]

Bro no activist is going to a achieve the amount fame and love of the top celebrity of their day, activist don’t ask for fame they ask for change.

 

[mk23666]

WTF ... Oh, Black Twitter ... nevermind ... SMH.

 

[TimRock]

Have you heard anything about defunding the police, prison abolition or reimagining criminal justice lately?

Yes I have, but again, what does that have to do with Angela not getting "love"? And who says she's not? Because she's not "trending"?

 

[Ming Fei Hong]

This is a dumb comparison that actually diminishes Angela Davis's legacy by comparing her to a pop star.

 

[Complex]

Why are so called pro black people so quick to tear down other back people?

What does Beyonce or any other black celeb have to do with this?

Why didn't she say someone untalented like Kim Kardashian or someone else white.

 

[Hotlantan]

 

[Amajorfucup]

Funky bitch should be somewhere reading up on sister Angela instead of tweeting dumb shit about her. Half informed ho yelling out nonsense from Twitter aint activism. Somebody also might wanna tell her that Angela Davis never put sexual orientation over black liberation too.

You have a Very Good point!

#1 You can't prove that. Moot opinion.

#2 She's a celebrity, it comes with the job good and bad. People
have their reasons for both praise and criticism. Most are really focused on what she represents for not the actual person.


#3 They do all the time, but for some reason you are forgetting. Maybe to fortify your moot opinion.

1- it's happened numerous times. Multiple black people/celebrities have called out other black people for what they feel is a lack of involvement.

2-it doesn't come with the territory, being thrown into a situation that has nothing to do with you (i.e. this comparison) is not what being an entertainer is about.

3- not in this situation she didn't.

Agree, apples and oranges.

How many people from the beehive know the name or history of Angela Davis?

This.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Angela Davis is married to a white woman
And thinks the cops shouldn't go to jail for killing us.

 

[jasonblacc]

Angela Davis is married to a white woman

wait what? Have any proof?

 

[Dannyblueyes]

I don't know about that. The more people love you the more they hate you.

 

[305]

Fuck the bey hive but alsot fuck comparing amazing black women for no reason.

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

Angela Davis is married to a white woman
And thinks the cops shouldn't go to jail for killing us.

wait what? Have any proof?

It is dishonest framing. She is a prison abolitionist. So you could argue that she thinks x shouldn't go to jail for killing y with whatever variables you choose. To make her out to be pro-police and anti-black is intentionally dishonest trash.

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

I don't know about that. The more people love you the more they hate you.

I think you're wrong. There's a difference between politicized love and unpoliticized love.

Look at the non-political figures on that list. Ben Carson was admired with no hatred until he became political. Same with Clint Eastwood. Michael Jordan, Oprah, Stephen Hawking-- These non-political people were all loved and admired much more than they were hated. Almost nobody hates Beyonce.

Why couldn't the broad just use her J Cole given platform to inform her new followers of Angela Davis, instead of posting some slick shit about someone who doesn't bother anyone...another black person?

You attempt to build up Angela Davis platform by tearing down Beyonce? Why?

Beyonce has been trying spread black excellence for the past couple of years too.

Are you an internet troll or for black people?

 

[snark9]

which Angela are you talking about? 1960s-1970s 'anti-prison industrial complex' Angela? Or today's 'make everything black also serve LGBTQ' Angela?

 

[ORIGINAL NATION]

Why did Angela Davis become a christian? But Cynthia Mckinney was a person left on front street no matter what she did or exposed. But she finally realized that this is an artificial world that is ruling the masses.
