Madonna Drops the N-Bomb on Instagram

Yesterday, Madonna dropped the N-bomb on the social picture sharing network Instagram, in a remark published next to a picture of her son Rocco. "No one messes with Dirty Soap! Mama said knock you out! #disni**a", the pop queen posted. A lot of her followers were quite offended and infuriated by the racial slur hashtag. Later on that afternoon, Madonna replaced the caption and re-posted it to say, "Ok let me start this again. #get off of my d*ck haters!". Um yeah. So now she's calling people who were irritated by her racial slur "haters"? The word haters is so effortlessly thrown around these days. I suppose if you don't wish to hear someone make a racial comment, you're now considered a "hater"...??

I believe the hashtag was unmindful and inconsiderate. I think Madonna has always pushed the envelope and  done controversial antics to stay relevant.  In this case however, I don't believe she is racist. She not only has two black children, but she has dated plenty of  black men going back to the '80s forward as well as guys of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Which is all the more reason to NOT USE slurs like that. IMHO. It's NOT OK.
