Beyoncé Is Removing The Ableist Slur From Renaissance Why TF Was It There In The First Place?

Beyoncé has confirmed she’ll remove an ableist slur from her album Renaissance

What amazes me is how the white disabled community gets riled up when Beyonce or Lizzo unintentionally use ableist terms. They aren’t angered that 50% people killed by the police are disabled. Their advocacy extends to them and not Black disabled people.https://t.co/3pcUMhyUfR

This is why I don’t feel the disabled community is actually a community. It mostly caters to white disabled people and they literally don’t allow black disabled people to have a voice in most issues.

Plus they rarely call out white people ableism. https://t.co/5joaaRcmwx

other artists who use offensive slurs in their music

Hadn’t thought about this, i personally criticize ableist language from anyone if i’m aware of it. But i have noticed there seems to be much more anger and discussion when it’s from POC regardless of context and severity. We need to be better.
