"Spaz," Beyonce, and Lizzo

So apparently Beyonce and Lizzo were finally allowed to be criticized...for using the word 'spaz.'
They both put the word 'spaz' in their lyrics, got Struggle Session'd for using it, then promptly removed the word.

I bet it was staged. They put the word in the songs on purpose, so they could then go allperformative wokeand make a big scene when they remove it from their songs.
Bet they had the versions without the word in there already recorded and ready to swap.
The only reason they didn't break their arms patting themselves on the back is because the whole thing was planned.

Propagandists hired to normalize being a fat fuk, self-obsessed, and narcissistic. Now they're probably staging their own Struggle Sessions to normalize people self-censoring. Stupid coonts.

Disabled Americans have more control over their image and how it's portrayed than do blacks.

Can drop a hundred n-bombs, go on about drugs and murder and slootery but say the word spaz and get checked hard.

Fkn sad. Lol
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

Oh wait, I might've spoke too soon...

As many observers of the Lizzo and Beyoncé controversies have argued, spaz, particularly in its use as a verb, as in spaz out, has its own history in Black American English. Victoria Gagliardo-Silver, writing in the Independent, said that while spaz may be “an ableist slur” in the UK, “in the US, the term is commonly used in African American Vernacular English with a different meaning, often referring to oneself being out-of-control or disorganized.” She continued, “Black, disabled Americans like myself have no experience of that term being used against us; the word has never been used as an insult in our own community. In both Lizzo’s and Beyoncé’s songs, they use it to describe their own actions. Context matters.”

So since they're black, it's ok for them to say it, I guess! What retards everyone is turning into. Accountability shifts depending on ones "Cherry-picked history victim" grading.
