      Very true in a way but you’re saying a rebel, a black woman who is loud, obnoxious and unpeaceful, without a cause is NOT following the “white mans” agenda? And I though I can see it that way, I thought of it more a black woman, why I said “civilized” is because she is in the face of social media making a positive change for us black women in a PEACEFUL (my definition is civilized) matter. Civilized to me is also cooperating, in which that’s connects back to you mentioning the white mans agenda

    This got my heart and my tear ducts going. Janelle's passionate - not just recital, but - performance of her lyrics, the continuous, further realisation of what her words mean, the figures and themes I the song....she's a fricken queen, and I CAN'T.

    I've always felt that women, mainly blck women have suffered greatly. Not readily accepted. I rmbr. as a child, we were told to speak properly, to sit properly, if the hair was a little nappy, it was considered bad hair.Girls were unduly pressured as oppose to boys. It had more to do with the culture, yeah, We're still struggling for rights, recognition, respect on every angle, socially, culturally and globally. Recently, I have been paying attn. to "Django Jane." trying to decipher what was being said. I now have a better understanding.

    I feel like she expresses herself in a way that women should express themselves in a creative way to make it stand out more, and also a way that some women don’t understand. Women I feel could do almost anything but at the sometime has their limit depending on the situation and that what most people sometimes don’t get 🎶
