I guess I shouldn't be surprised Ms. Rachel has a million dollars, but here I am having not really thought about it before.

    Some of her videos have billions of views.

    Wow. She was popular in our house for a while but through Netflix (and even overtook that God awful Cocomelon for the top spot on most watched in Ireland for kids) but I never knew she'd reached such heights.

    I already thought she was one of the kindest souls on this earth but this whole thing is just the icing on the cake.

    And I haven't seen a single one of them. I've heard of Ms. Rachel, but she doesn't really play a part in my life.

    Ok? Is that a badge of honor for you?

    I just read it as them asserting that they simply managed to avoid her as a topic.

    Which is a weird kind of flex/statement anyway. She's primarily makes videos for kids, assuming the other poster is an adult, why would they be aware of her unless they have kids?

    Shit I couldn't tell you anything about Ms. Rachel, Bluey, Dora, Teletubbies, Barney, any of that. I'm aware they exist but I'm not the target audience at all so why would I ever become more than vaguely aware of them?

    This woman is just the greatest. What an absolute legend.

    She's a bit more of an OG than she looks.

    Big time. From that article:

    “Ed Sheeran had an opportunity [to] show that we won’t be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it.”

    POW! Right in the kisser. Absolute BOSS lady.

    It’s good to finally see Israel’s genocide of Gaza starting to be recognized by western mainstream media, and that several famous celebrities are using their platforms to advocate for the Palestinian cause. I can only hope there will be some form of justice for the Palestinian people eventually…

    When Mrs Rachel speaks, I'll listen.

    I'm confused, why call out just white people? A million dollars is a million dollars...

    Because privilege is power and power is responsibility.

    By the time someone has enough millions to toss them around to various causes, their race is a rounding error in their level of privilege. All this does is try to reframe a class vs class struggle as a race vs race struggle.

    It's so funny that you guys are getting up voted when I said almost the exact same thing and hammered for it. Love the consistency. I have the exact view you do. Adding white to this feels performative rather than actually wanting too solve the problem. It's "woke 1.0" vibes.

    Yours came across as a pithy comment coming from a “woke bad” reactionary frame commonly associated with right wing influencers. Mine was rhetorically better for Lemmy, and included a clear “no war but class war” dog whistle that appeals to a large crowd here.

    We agree on the substance on this issue, but your rhetoric doesn’t match your audience.

    For real black artists like Kendrick have been a huge disappointment. Their big mouth about the oppressed never went past their own neighborhood. Instead the whitest guys on the block are stepping up.

    Kendrick routinely donates to charities. He focuses on Compton and LA, but to paint it like he doesn't donate to causes that serve the underprivileged isn't quite accurate.

    Not a single word about Palestine in 3 years. Kendrick is a fraud.

    Tell me you should be out in your own community more instead of online all the time without telling me you should be out in your own community more instead of online all the time...

    If I had millions, hell yeah.
