Frankly, Sinead should be ashamed herself.
This entire thing started because Miley had the nerve to say that she was a fan of Sinead O'Connor and that her Wrecking Ball video was inspired by her. Regardless of what you think of Miley, I don't see how anyone could interpret her initial comments on Sinead as an attack of any sort.
Sinead, in all her classiness, chooses to respond to Miley's praise with a condescending letter full of statements like this:
So, no, I don't think Sinead had any right to "go in." And if I were Miley, I would have dragged her ass too.
The amount of hate and mudslinging Miley's getting for simply living her life at this point is embarrassing. But I applaud her, and I hope she doesn't cave in. Keep doing you, Miley.
Keep it cute, Nem.
You didn't answer my question. Who are we to judge what those experiences should have meant to her?
At this point, people are just judging every. single. thing Miley does as some attempt to live this nebulous "thug life" when not even she's saying that.
She got a tattoo in Detroit and a chain on South Street here in Philly. I fail to see how those are things that "black people" do, or even where she implied that those ARE things that only black people do (and South Street is so far from being a thing only black people experience it's not even funny). The only person making that connection here is you.
In that entire interview all Miley talked about was the experiences she had when she first got away from her parents and started making her own decisions about HER life. You, and everyone else, are the ones reading more into it than that.
EDIT: I mean, I could see if she said somewhere in her interview "Oh yeah! I'm trying to live this #BlackLife so I went and got a tattoo in Detroit and got a chain on South Street. I feel practically colored now!" You'd have a point. But your argument is basically "Miley has no right to feel independent because of her decisions. And she's insulting black people because she did things that I ascribe to the black experience...like getting a tattoo." Wut???
Roy, now sis listen. I'm a Miley stan too but there is no defending this. At some point you have to acknowledge that what she did was wrong. It's really not that hard. Trying to "clap back" at Sinead for her open letter by using her old tweets and not understanding her ripping the picture is immature at best.
I felt that Sinead shouldn't talk because she as a previous mental case can't tell someone how to be proper but above all that, her message is meaningful and shouldn't be casted off as unnecessary advice. Would it had made a difference if it was Cher or Celine and even Barbara telling her to stop? The message would have been the same.
Miley is actively offending the black culture by saying things that don't actually convey the nature of the situation. Detroit isn't a fun place to live. People die every day, it's voted the worst city every year, it has the highest crime rates, rape, gang violence etc. Her obviously not living that life however associating herself with that life she will never know is insulting. I don't take kindly to some rich girl repping the D when she's from the rich Tennesse where her mommy and daddy was able to buy her whatever she wants and I'm stuck here watching her act like she came from where I came from and been through what I've been through. If Justin Beiber doesn't get a pass, than neither can she. It's insulting and as a Miley fan myself....I would like her to stop acting like she's black.
Thirdly...This bolded phrase here........is the epitome of hypocritical. You can't say this all while believing every single rumor, made up , controversial, extremely bias news about everyone but your fav...This quote should have an open-mindedness about it for everyone, not just Miley.
