Earl Sweatshirt: Taylor Swift is ‘perpetuating black stereotypes’ with new video

Odd Future musician Earl Sweatshirt is coming for Taylor Swift. The country music star released the video for her latest single, “Shake it Off,” which boosts a noticeably different image and beat from Swift’s traditional format.

Earl Sweatshirt took to Twitter to talk about how the video is harmful because it amplifies many black stereotypes.

From Twitter:

haven’t watched the taylor swift video and I don’t need to watch it to tell you that it’s inherently offensive and ultimately harmful

perpetuating black stereotypes to the same demographic of white girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture — EARL (@earlxsweat) August 19, 2014

for instance, those of you who are afraid of black people but love that in 2014 it’s ok for you to be trill or twerk or say nigga
