I told yall I hated that damn song. As Ebony’s Michael Arceneaux put it in a status posted to his personal Facebook page: Y’know, I’m tired of these rich, disconnected Black men (this means you, Kanye West) denying the lingering prevalence of racism to the amusement of whites whose attention they so desperately covet. I wish celebrities’ opinions didn’t matter so much, but they do frame the culture & Pharrell’s bulls--t is poison. Structural racism is real, struggle vocals and the mix and matching of refrigerator wisdom over an uplifting beat be damned. In sum, Pharrell, grow up, or at the very least, shut up and sing. - Jenée Desmond-Harris, 25 Alternatives to Pharrell (or Any Other Celeb) for Insights Into ‘the New Black’ (H/T Kiese Laymon)
