Madonna: Ageism is the same as racism and homophobia

she is trying to cloak her fear of mortality with these foolish pronouncements

poor madonna.... maybe 20 year old models don't want her anymore

someone should tell her that.....

Madonna is just in long line of white artists leeching and copying black talent, then records exec's putting it in a white package to make it more acceptable for a white auidence. Modern day examples : Jessie J, Adele, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Iggy Azalea.

I could spend a long time on the issue of white musicians playing either “black” or “black influenced” music. In fact, there is a very good argument that, with the possible exception of Country & Western, virtually all popular music derives from black music.

After all, blues and jazz grew from the same musical root, and then begat rhythm & blues, which begat rock ‘n roll, which begat our entire system of popular music production and distribution.

She's also one of them white celebs that go to Africa to get a adopt black kid ? Why Madonna ? No black kids in the USA that need to adopting ? Or do you want to go and Africa and get a 'real' one ?

Madonna is dam near 60 years old but she has this thirst to be relevant. When her music first came on the radio in the early 1980s and no one knew what she looked like, people thought she was black, she sounded black and only black stations played her music.

That no one knew what she looked like at first was no accident. Her record company was trying to sell her music: putting a white face to black music would only make it harder. Madonna sang black music because that is what she grew up on. Once she had some success she began to appear on television. Then everyone knew. Another thing I noticed with these white artists who leech of black music is that when it comes to the serious issue of being black, their silence is deafening.

Sexism ? Or Homophobia ? Not to get into an oppression olympics, but sexism and homophobia is a different beast to racism. Does not matter what the system is racism cuts through it all. Sexism ? I don't know this for fact but I bet it's the white feminists on top and the black feminists on the bottom. The gay commiunity ? Again - I don't know this for a fact but I would bet it's the white gays on top and the black gays on the bottom.

This heifer thinks she can latch on to our struggle to show how bad she's got it as a rich white woman. She may be 56 but so what? It's not like people lynch or insult old people for being old.

Madonna is not going to stop performing and flashing her ass just because people say she's too old. In fact, in the new issue of Rolling Stone, Madonna, 56, said that the ageism she faces is as serious an issue as racism and homophobia.
"It's the last great frontier. We fought for the civil rights movement. We fought for gay rights," said Madonna

Over exaggeration of the century.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popular_music_genres

So virtually every single one of those derives from black music? Bull****.

And who writes Wikipedia ? White people (Most likely) and do you really think a white man is going claim that most musical forms originate from black people ? Happen. Not. Gonna.

But you see wiki as neutral and unbiased but in truth it's just a white mans opinion, afterall I could open a wiki account and edit a page.
