Blake Lively post on Instagram with the caption "L.A. face with an Oakland booty" which is a line from the rap song "Baby Got Back"
Hollywood actress Blake Lively is being
slammed over a photo and caption she posted on Instagram
about her butt. The people complaining about her post on
Instagram need to choose their battles more carefully. I
don't see anything racist regarding what Lively stated.
There are mentally disturbed racists wearing white sheets
attacking people of color. Racist neighborhood watchman,
George Zimmerman, murdered 17-year-old unarmed teen, Trayvon
Martin, for being a black kid in his predominantly white
neighborhood, confronting him and demanding to know, "what
are you doing around here" before attacking and killing the
innocent youth.
Yet some of you are complaining about
Lively. I've got news for you, since she had her baby, her
butt got big. It is not a social or racial issue. It's a fat
shifted to her butt issue. Leave it alone. There are more
serious things to discuss and petition about regarding
racial inequities than the size of someone's butt, citing it
as racial appropriation. If that's the case white people
would be picketing hair supply stores, a $5 billion dollar a
year industry in America, regarding black women wearing
European weaves. Shouldn't white people be crying "they've
stolen our hair" like some of you are crying "they've stolen
our butts!"
If a white woman wants to have a big butt,
let her have a big butt. If a black woman wants a European
weave, let her have a European weave. There are more
important things to discuss - like cancer, AIDS, Parkinsons,
Alzheimers, poverty, war, nuclear disarmament, global
pollution, real racism (George Zimmerman ect). Let all this
other trivial stuff go.

16:06 EST, 18 May 2016 - Blake Lively has come under fire
for racism after posting a controversial caption about her
body on Instagram. The 28-year-old star shared a split of
two images from the Cafe Society premiere last week with the
caption 'L.A face with an Oakland booty'. Immediately the
pregnant actress came under fire for being 'white and
privileged' but using black women and culture 'as a
punchline'.
'Another day, another rich white woman using
WOC's bodies as a punchline and commodity. As if Blake
Lively wasn't the worst already,' read a post from @katbeee.
User @mindamaureen wrote: 'So much privilege even GOOP feels
uncomfortable.' While @HellaBootsy questioned if the star
had ever visited Oakland at all.
The blonde beauty was quoting lyrics from
Sir Mix-a-Lot's 'Baby Got Back' but the defense did little
to stem the tide of social media outrage. 'Unbelievably
problematic, using women of color's bodies as a joke. I
guess you just want people to know you're racist and you
don't give a s--t', one follower wrote.
Another added: 'Used to like you Blake …
turns out you appropriate black culture #unfollowed'. The
lyric refers to Oakland - an area of California considered
traditionally black - compared to L.A. The actress, who made
her name in the hit TV show Gossip Girl, isn't the first
star to use the lyric to describe a selfie online.
