1830 would not be the same decade without racism. The entirety of society and daily life was based in slavery and racism. like the trail of tears started 1831

Faceless Progressive :
also people don’t realize that things can be contextualized…. and still be offensive!! like it doesn’t matter if you’re intent “wasn’t to be offensive” if it’s still offensive!!!!

That’s like if you told someone with a peanut allergy “it’s peanut butter WITHOUT the peanut pieces in it”

★HelloKittyluver★ :
that line is the equivalent of a white friend telling a black friend "if slavery was still around I would buy but not to work or anything just so we can chill" like do you see what's wrong with that

Her core fanbase is white women who need to feel oppressed and stay in that bc they love being victims ✨

I interpreted it as a really weird way of saying she wanted to be in the world of Bridgerton

She’s comparing marrying a rich man as a white woman to actual slavery

Peyton :
maybe my interpretation was wrong but the lyrics after says that the game is done because it’s not fun anymore because she’s pointing out that you can’t go back to those time periods w/o all of that

like !!!!! those eras are NOT POSSIBLE without the racism - the entire society, lifestyle and norms were built on RACISM. you can’t say 1830s without racism bc WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE HM?!

Not only illiterate but the implication that Black women ‘don’t understand’ is so gross.

Like if she is gonna bring up the antebellum period as a throw away I’m gonna call that out and when her fans respond with racism it makes me like her less

Emily 📚✈️🗣️ :
“She’s referring to her blood relative, Emily Dickinson, bc that’s when she was born”. Didn’t use a single metaphor for Dickinson’s ACTUAL POETRY tho?.. wouldn’t that have been a better literary play?

So according to you white women can’t say they want to live in any time period. Since slavery has existed since the beginning of time. That seems to be what you’re saying.

Also “seems like it was never even fun back then” is a wildly unserious way to describe a period of slavery and genocide

also literally what was going on in the 1830s besides racism and misogyny when it comes to daily life

It’s just like??? If you wanted to talk abt how you wouldn’t actually have fun in a time where women were oppressed there are SO MANY OTHER time periods to choose from??? Why the one with slavery???

Yeahhh like. Would the 1830s even be the same 1830s without racism and misogyny. Like genuinely what else is there to want from the 1830s genuinely wondering

She’s also implying by grouping the racism and misogyny together that a wealthy white woman like her would be equally as disenfranchised as… actual enslaved human beings…

She’s been racist and ignorant forever. They do this every single time she does something like this. I’m just glad the general public is getting it now.

essie_0701 :
ppl can say “context! context!” all they want but all the context in the world won’t change how tone deaf the lyric is esp giving her white feminism and her hanging with a guy who liked racial 🌽

If you look at Sabrina Carpenter’s friend group vs Taylor’s, it’s easy to see which one is truly rooting for all girls to win

white people need to learn to just LISTEN to POC instead of making themselves look stupid. TS for SURE has ZERO POC on her PR team because its SO BAD to be this tone deaf.
