BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Adele has became the subject of a pretty angry petition on Change.org. “Adele sold over 3.38 million copies of her album ’25’ and the media is praising her as if Adele’s success has everything to do with talent. Rather, it’s her white privilege that has put her on top,” the petition claimed. The petition went on to note that she has sold more than recent albums by Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Janet Jackson, while also stating the albums by the aforementioned artists are supposedly “better.” The Congressional Black Caucus issued a statement that read in part, “White people only buy Adele’s albums because she’s white. They (white people) never look at the quality of a song regarding vocal talent or musical composition, but the color of the person’s skin as they function as a cohesive unit to suppress and oppress the sales of albums by all black artists. Also many delusional Caucasians actually have accused ‘gangsta rap’ artists of using profanity and sexually explicit lyrics in their songs, when there is no evidence of that ever happening.”
