After experiencing an extremely online backlash to recent comments about other successful female artists, mostly women of color, Lana Del Rey posted an essay Friday claiming accusations of racism against her say “so much more about you than it does about me.” While she’s at it, the singer also writes that her music heralds a “new wave/3rd wave of feminism that is rapidly approaching.” Declares Del Rey, “Watch!”.

As for those fans who felt she was claiming successful women of color don’t get criticized for their work while she does, or that they, too, stand accused of glamorizing abuse, Del Rey explains, in short, that that sounds like a “you” problem, “you” being “folks who I can only assume are super Trump/Pence supporters or hyper liberals or flip-flopping headline-grabbing critics who can’t read.” Writes the singer, “But in truth making it about race says so much more about you than it does about me - you want the drama, you don’t want to believe that a woman could be beautiful, strong and fragile at the same time, loving and all inclusive by making personal reparations simply for the joy of doing it.” You can read her full post below
