The Mindset

a disappointed moomoo

{ mm is me rn trying to process everything }

I seriously want to get this off my chest, and so I'm updating this book after so damn long. But this was needed and I NEED TO RANT.

I honest to god love Mamamoo.

They are my number one gg, they are talented, hilarious, and everything I could have hoped for a girl group. They were a group that was different to me, and stood out to me. I fell in love with their vocal prowess ever since listening to Girl Crush on my Korean radio app. They are legit girl crushes.

But then the news {first mentioned by snowflakesonmylaptop thanks girl 👍🏼} that they did a parody of Uptown Funk and did blackface?

Holy. Shit.

I want to protect and defend them and yeah, okay, I understand, they must've not known this whole damn time.

But no. No.

This is not okay.

Blackface is fucking racist asf. You are making fun of those in the black community and using their skin in terms of entertaining people. That is NOT okay. It will NEVER be okay. If you don't know this, or don't think of it this way, you should. You need to realize that this is a problem. And I feel so damn bad for the international black moomoos that have to experience this from a group that you wouldn't think would do this.

I don't know.

I feel like they should've known as four GROWN women that this is wrong. I feel like someone in their company should've known that this was not a thing to do. They should've known to really research about this kind of thing.

They could've done the parody without the makeup. They could've refused. They could've been the silly, adorable selfs without THE "DARK-SKINNED" MAKEUP.

And I understand that both the company and the girls themselves have apologized. And I don't have much say in the matter, as I'm not African American, but... yes, the damage is already done. The black community have every right to be mad and not forgive them. Seriously. They've gotten enough shit thrown at them, just look at fucking America. They shouldn't have to worry about being attacked by a Korean girl group, but they have.

So don't tell people to stop being mad and forgive. If you are legit telling people that, then you don't know how grave this situation is.

As of now, I'm just disappointed... and quite disgusted that this had to happen. I truly do hope Mamamoo have learned from this horrible experience and realized how utterly terrible this situation was. I want to have faith in the girls. But... as of now... I'm just disheartened.

I love them, but this wasn't acceptable.

I feel extra bad since I legit just bought a Mamamoo hat online yesterday. What a fucking twist of fate. I'm going to have to remove Mamamoo from my everyday playlist because I can't right now.

Rant over.
