\"Nicki_bet\"<\/a>Oh Miley … why are you doing this? In a recent interview with the New York Times, Miley gave her two-cents on Nicki Minaj’s Twitter rant on her VMA snub. <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople forget that the choices that they make and how they treat people in life affect you in a really big way,\u201d she said. \u201cIf you do things with an open heart and you come at things with love, you would be heard and I would respect your statement. But I don\u2019t respect your statement because of the anger that came with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pop singer thinks that Minaj was only pushing her personal agenda and in the process she diluted the bigger message. \u201cYou made it about you,\u201d she continued. \u201cNot to sound like a bitch, but that\u2019s like, \u2018Eh, I didn\u2019t get my V.M.A.\u2019\u2026 If you want to make it about race, there\u2019s a way\u2026 Say: \u2018This is the reason why I think it\u2019s important to be nominated. There\u2019s girls everywhere with this body type.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I read sounded very Nicki Minaj,\u201d Miley said, \u201cwhich, if you know Nicki Minaj it\u2019s not too kind. It\u2019s not very polite.\u201d She added, \u201cI know you can make it seem like, Oh I just don\u2019t understand because I\u2019m a white pop star. I know the statistics. I know what\u2019s going on in the world. But to be honest, I don\u2019t think MTV did that on purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

My two-cents: Did Nicki go a little over board? A tad bit. But she had some valid points. Why did TIDAL have no validity until Taylor Swift wrote an open letter? And the observation of who receives awards is able to be substantiated with ease. (And no I’m not counting Beyonce. Saying Beyonce got nominated is like saying you have one black friend.) Many non-minorities seem to be under the impression that if a cross is not burning in your yard or if you’re not being blatantly called the N-word little injustices are not occurring. Not so. Slights and discrimination happens much more discretely now. Furthermore, on Miley’s comment that Nicki isn’t very polite … the older I get, the more weary I am of beating around the bush. We’re all so conditioned to be polite that when we get the truth it’s seen as rude or abrasive or angry. Miley have several seats and stop addressing issues that have nothing to do with you. Seems like you have your own dirty laundry to tend to. <\/em><\/p>\n
