Did you know that all homo sapiens are 99.9% identical. The only differences are the environmental adaptations we see skin deep and cultural attributes we celebrate!
Does anyone know how many types of homo sapiens there are defined by race? From a colonial era perspective…just 3 ...Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. ... its that extra .1% genetic marker. If we use the OP's logic, and use race to define ethnicity…we would assume all Egyptians are Caucasoid… but guess what? There are black Egyptians? What could that mean? Egypt is Multi-Ethnic. But Is Egypt a “White” country?
No, In today’s ever changing construct, we do not define countries in this way…Race is an attribute…Ethnicity, is much, more…
To be clear, Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid was a construct developed by Western scholars in the context of racist ideologies during the age of colonialism.[3] With the rise of modern genetics, the concept of distinct human races in a biological sense has become obsolete. Making the premise of the topic bigoted and reductive!

The OP has failed to elevate the convo beyond hurling racial slurs... relying on others to do so for her... tour dates continue to be announced… It would be surreal to experience Madonna live in Egypt and anywhere else she has never toured! Infrastructure, social & political conditions aside...Does anyone have any market data from the Middle East, Africa, and these places that would support a visit from Madonna? I mean, really? I'm throwing this thread an honest lifeline... Anybody?
For those outside the US you probably can stop reading here……………
@Candylipsgirl In the USA, you used racist language to incite racism...that is called "Race-Baiting". You also doubled down by using a racial slur to define who I am... and others on the forum for disagreeing with your words and how you used those words. Worst! AND this is the most important...You inferred that our queen is racist (which you walked back, kinda, sorta, maybe, sorta). Islamophobia? I mean?
In the USA, "Karen" has become a label for racist white women who call the police on innocent Black men, point guns at protesters, refuse to wear masks and generally behave outrageously...And while it sounds silly... It has become a misogynistic stereotype, undercutting BLM and further eroding race relations in the US… and of all the things that I am not and all of the negative qualities that I don't possess... I am sure others in the forum would agree and especially, those who can identify. It’s is a racial slur!
You seem to have a issue with patriarchy too... but thats way, way off-topic.
Its a joke... but is it really?? ...the undercurrents of "Uncle Tom", ring in my ear! AND yet... you reinforced that with the slur... If I did the same... I would have been booted & banned from the forum... without hesitation AND that is real truth!
Now, consider being perceived as an inferior race just about everywhere on this planet? That extra .1% has such power…especially with a bit too much brown... Yeah, I can relate…there was no need to burn bridges where there are none to burn. It’s so sad how the worst of colonialism continues to play its part in society today.
Without colonialism… the world would be a much different place… Or would it? That is too much to ponder. At any rate, there is no place on this earth I'd rather be after work… than here at home… cuddling with the man, cat, having some wine, listening to the queen…& catching up with my favorite people here on MadonnaNation… I love my skin, I love your skin, & I love "Karen's" skin too!
BTW! My partner & I purchased Vegas tickets… Perhaps, we will bump into each other… & have a laugh...Gotta laugh… life is too short! It only took me 15 minutes to write this…Takes less than that to write, "sorry, for being wrong and insensitive"...Just saying.
CELEBRATE!
What a fantastic post! Thank you for seeing the big picture.

Wtf am I reading?
What about the fact that M only plays in capital cities and not in cities from the countryside? She must be capital-ist.

I mean I am all into being able to express the public opinion in the form of protesting, but in all fairness, raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 is not a big fucking deal. 64 is still lower than other Western European countries.
I was walking around that arrondisement of Paris when I took that pic, earlier that day I met up with a friend who lives in Marais, is a graphic designer-freelancer, who has nothing to do with these protests... he said that people just don't wanna work
wtf.
It is a big deal. We're not fucking machines. And since when we should copy stupid laws of other countries?
People wanna work as long as the game is not rigged and everyone gets their fair share. Which is certainly not the case.
Your friend seems really disconnected from reality. Let me explain.- Those who don't wanna work are the shareholders and people in power who get richer and richer while 90% of population is getting poorer even though they are working.
- The unemployment rate is high. When you're over 50 years old you're basically unemployable.
- Raising the age means more illnesses and cost more for the society.
etc.
No matter how you look at it, raising the retirement age does not make sense. Do you not see the world we're living in? I mean come on.
Also we are supposed to be a democracy and nobody wants this law, the government should respect the democratic process but they don't. And let's not even begin to talk about the unprecedented repression and violences that are going on.

I´m surprised that nobody is talking about what is happening in France...any french follower here that can explain the situation better ? do you think he is going to resign? I´ve read somewhere that maybe it should be time to start with the sixth republic...
Well basically the govermnent has decided to shit on demorcracy. They forced a law to push the age of retirement from 62 to 64 without letting the parliament vote.
Macron is NOT going to resign as he is 100% megalomaniac.

If you replace "Bolsonaro" with "Dumpster", it works as well.

What’s wrong with people? Madonna is about to be 61 and she’s not super human. Your body goes through changes no matter how healthy you are. It happens to everyone. People’s voices change overtime. You have less stamina. Madonna is doing the unthinkable. Last night’a show was proof of that. She danced, she sang, she brought the theatrics. She went above and beyond. But from now on, there will be limitations. The least we can do is to show this woman, who’s been a machine for 40 years, that we love her and we appreciate her and that we got her back. If you don’t like her artistic choices, FINE, but don’t hate her... time goes by faster than you think. Love her NOW.
Preach. She still and always be an amazing performer that gives it her all. she SLAYED this show. We don't deserve her.

Can someone help me GET the lyrics “I wasn’t lost “ then the the “thing that hurt the most wasn’t that I wasn’t lost”?? Just don’t get it
The way I get it: she's looking for herself, the meaning of her life (her "center of gravity"), by trying different things, going to different places... But she's not finding anything, because this feeling of being lost is inside. not geographically or politically speaking. All she did to find herself was in vain, so it hurts.
Kinda linked to the theme of I don't search I Find I guess.
This song is very enigmatic, there should be other interpretations. I'd love to read them as well -
After a few spins, can we safely say that Madame X is a MASTERPIECE of an album ?
Everyone around me loves it ! Including friend & family that kept on bashing M since 4 Minutes.
She hit the right spot this time
I feel so glad !

Everyone seems to love this one, including my usually Madonna-bashing friends. Go get that grammy for best song gurl!!

The rythm in this track is dope. It’s a waltz but the beat kicks in four. Genius. This whole song is glorious

As usual with semantics, it just shows who's been dominating the world culturally.
