I updated the comment above for some clarification. You can discuss the issue which is fair game but all I'm asking is to abstain from insults and attacking each other. I don't agree with everything that has been said and that is okay. Just figured to enter context here. Talk about the act and/or song and why you don't like or disagree with something, you can even be direct in your commentary. I mean it would be weird not adressing the elephant in the room. But let's not go after each other...that's no bueno.

I also moved some posts back that didn't break the rules, we just had to go through them and review it first.

I honestly haven't paid any attention to the issue with Kazna until today so I'm a bit behind in terms of where we're at here. I don't know her history or what is in her heart so I'm still educating myself on this topic.

People were rightfully calling her out on the Confederate flag issue. If you are using a flag, symbol or anything from a different culture, country or society, you will need to know what it represents and what it stands for and you are ultimately responsible for your lack of historical knowledge. Kazna apologized claiming that she was not aware of what this flag represents and deleted the pictures in question, at least that is my understanding. In today's society, the flag represents Racism as it was basically used by southern states as a symbol to break from the nation to defend the practice of slavery. It's up to each of us to decide whether we believe her or not, nobody can make that decision for you.

I won't even bother going into the issue of cultural appropriation as it's a loaded question and often a vague and subjective concept. As always, context matters.

That music in KAZNA's entry, especially in the end reminds me of Greece 2008 - Kalomoira - "Secret combination".. :D

But the song is about forgiveness. So in case Morocco doesn't like the song, we need to forgive his bad taste ... xqueenbitch
Why you consider "telling that to Lukashenko" as a bad thing a priori? :D maybe he doesn't like Dana's entry and will be happy for that and congrats Morocco.. :lol:

while listening to Dana, I had very different thoughts crossing my mind, going from: „wow - that‘s interesting„ to „oh no - too much“ and back to „that‘s kinda beautiful“ but then again to „really?“.
For the moment, I think it‘s a good effort, but I couldn‘t make up my mind if I like it or not.
