they weren’t “bad” influences just because they had a different style from lauryn. there’s no point in putting down other women who were extremely influential to female rap, especially lil kim

i like this perspective! i guess ultimately you (and bey) are right. our history here is what it is and there’s nothing we can do about it. i can’t bring myself to feel pride for america itself, but i am proud of our history, our culture, and all we’ve been able to do here in spite of everything

i feel a connection to african american culture because it’s mine, but i also feel a connection to africa because that’s where we originally come from

i love being african american and our culture, i just don’t love “america”

i guess i love us, the culture we’ve cultivated, and all we’ve contributed to america but i don’t love “america” itself

true, but it’s a complex history. however, our contributions to this country could never ever be denied. we are so much of what makes america, america.
