To my fellow white women:
Beyoncé’s LEMONADE is not for us.
We can enjoy it. We can blast it loud in the shower. We can appreciate it aestheticly and visually and musically.
But it is not for us to appropriate for our own gain. I don’t want to see white women writing op-eds about it. I don’t want to hear your acoustic covers of the tracks. I’m not interested in your critiques, as a white woman, of it. I don’t want you CAPITALIZING on a piece of art that is fundamentally not. for. us.
LEMONADE is a beautiful tribute to black womanhood, femininity, the black struggle, and black power. It is NOT for all women, and most importantly, it is NOT for white women to co-opt and colonize and attempt to profit from.

I don’t care if your feelings are hurt because it “doesn’t include enough” white folx. I don’t care. I don’t want to hear about it.

Appreciate the beauty. Sing its praises. Enjoy the depth and the poetry. But don’t try to make what isn’t for you, your’s. In any way, shape, or form.

This goes out to all you white gay men who talk about your “inner black woman.”

You do not have an inner black woman. And this album is not for us either.

Appreciate the beauty. Sing its praises. Enjoy the depth and poetry. But don’t try to make what isn’t for you, yours. In any way, shape, or form.

Amen and Amen…
