I'm fucking sick of those "gatekeepers".
This song has been written by Timberlake because he got attacked after he said he felt inspired by an acceptance speech at the BET Awards of 2016 (https://www.thefader.com/2016/06/27/justin-timberlake-tweets-bet-awards) and I don't agree that he apologized for being inspired.
If we can't be inspired by others, where do we draw the line? Do black people have to apologize to the Homo Erectus that first banged a stick against a trunk and liked the sound? Or must that forefather of us apologize to the fishes because one of them climbed out of the water to live on the land? Or must the fishes apologize to a single cell organism because one of our ancestors decided to do division to become more then a single cell organism?
Or the other way around. Do we have to demand apologies from Living Colour and Bad Brains, because they were black people who dared to play rock, metal and punk?
Get the fuck out. Inspiration is a beautiful thing and should be shared, not looking at skin colour or whatever.
Fuck gatekeepers.
