Leigh, how would you like a white woman to respond to this song or this situation?

Kelli have a look at this article if you’d like to understand my perspective. But in case you need the abbreviated version: “ I’ve listened to countless women of colour write about how they are sidelined in the rush for White women to publish their hot takes…I really do believe that in the case of this song, what we White feminists think about it isn’t important. If we like the song, then great. If not, it’s not for us, so time to shut up and listen to the people it is for. I honestly believe that it’s time that in situations like these, White women writers do need to step back and shine a spotlight on the work of women of color.” http://www.essence.com/2016/02/10/beyonce-formation-white-women-cant-write-maybe-shouldnt
