You racist Taylor Swift fans have some explaining to do. Okay, not really. And if you like Taylor Swift, it most certainly does NOT mean you are racist, no matter what a nutty professor from California says.
A professor at Cal State University, Melina Abdullah, claims being a Taylor Swift fan makes you slightly racist. I didn’t know being racist had certain levels of hate.
The Provocative Statement
Abdullah’s comments were not limited to the realm of music fandom. She further compared her discomfort with seeing an abundance of American flags to her critique of Taylor Swift’s fan base, suggesting a broader critique of nationalism and its racial underpinnings. The conversation escalated as she labeled the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory as a manifestation of a ‘right-wing, white-supremacist conspiracy,’ thereby extending her critical lens from the cultural to the political sphere. Her uncompromising stance is a continuation of her history of provocative statements, including her criticism of white participation in Juneteenth celebrations and defense of Jussie Smollett against accusations of fabricating a hate crime. – BNN Breaking
Abdullah co-founded the black lives matter Los Angeles chapter, which explains a lot. This professor also compares law enforcement to modern-day slave catchers. What in the wonderful world is wrong with her?
JUST IN: California professor’s says being a Taylor Swift fan is “slightly racist,” & labeled the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win as a “white supremacist conspiracy.”
The only supremacy here is the tyranny of absurdity.

This ridiculous article that I linked to above does not even try to explain why being a Taylor Swift fan is slightly racist. I think they are simply using Taylor’s name for SEO purposes. The author of the article spews about the need for a deeper conversation about racism in America. Still, we all know there is no talking to these militant activists.
These types of people wish destruction on anything American. For some reason, they have a massive chip on their shoulder or want digital attention.
Here she is, giving a TedTalk 7 years ago, more like a hate speech.
She goes on and on about being oppressed and now having a resistance to the white supremacist patriarch and how it goes back decades and talks about blips of assimilation like not straightening their hair, listening to rap music, and choosing to name their children African names. It all seems like a bunch of nonsense if you ask me. No one has asked any black person to assimilate; assimilate to what? That is ridiculous.
My opinion?
I think this chick is trying to be relevant again. People have woken up to the fact that the BLM movement is a sham. Patrisse Cullors is a con artist and abandoned the professor, leaving her holding an empty hat. And so now, Abdullah has to pull some stunts and use inflammatory language while uttering the words Taylor Swift to gain some attention.
However, the woman does appear to think everything is racist. She says so herself.
“Folks think they’re attacking me by asking why I think everything is racist…I’m not offended. Virtually everything is racist,” she wrote in another post addressing the attention she received from her previous posts.
She has previously shared controversial opinions on Twitter. In 2022, she told white people they weren’t welcome to Juneteenth celebrations.
“Attention white people… Please don’t ask if you can come to the cookout… #Juneteenth is freedom day for Black folks,” she posted to Twitter in June 2022. “It should be #Reparations day for white folks.” – FOX News – FOX News
Bless her heart.
I can report I am not a racist because I am not a Taylor Swift fan.
Yeah, America is so racist that Melina Abdullah was able to gain an education and practice free speech via her activism, all while being a highly paid-professor at university. Did I mention her net worth is somewhere between $3m-$5m? Yeah, we’re a racist country.
