Black viewers and even non-fans have taken notice and are not appreciating what feels like a microaggression.
>The stereotype that Black people are incapable of structure, organization, or self-governance is a deeply rooted, historically constructed myth designed to justify discrimination, slavery, and systemic inequality. This narrative- often portraying Black people as chaotic, lazy, or intellectually inferior- persists despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary and serves to maintain power dynamics that disadvantage Black communities
Not a good look for Lara. I don't think she meant to be hateful but she did not explain herself well here, so she should make a post to apologize and clarify herself better.
R&B does not lack structure. Lara's runs are just bad. During their live performances, her runs are not good. She throws them in when and where they don't fit the songs. I'm sorry. I know they're desperate to do something more vocal-heavy, but you still need to have some discernment on whether it's good for the song to do a run there. That's my opinion. R&B doesn't lack structure; she's just not doing it right.
