Many white Grammy Awards viewers took great umbrage Kendrick Lamar’s explosive, politically-charged, show-stopping performance Monday night.
In short, they were irate.
The Compton, Calif.-born rapper blew white people’s wigs back when he came out like a force of nature with the powerful cuts, “Alright” and “The Blacker The Berry”, from his album To Pimp a Butterfly.
The in-your-face, bodacious imagery of slavery, civil rights and Africa were all evoked in the emotionally-sizzling performance — and was not a digestible nor acceptable form of artistry for many Caucasians. They let their feelings be known on social media, and they were not nice.
