If I hear one more person say that Beyonce isn't a real country singer/song writer and should stay in her own RnB/hip-hop lane I'm going to lose it.

@dangoodin oh that's just open racism on their part

("Just" in this case does not mean "excusable", it means more like "plain to see; exactly fitting")

@kboyd

yep. exactly.

another person replying said "Beyonce is not real country" and used the hashtag #shesnotreal

Unless there's some joke or irony i'm missing that's racist AF.

@dangoodin They specifically said she's not *a* real country (as in, a nation-state) so I think they were attempting to make a joke, but I have no explanation for the hashtag or why they thought this was a good situation to make a joke in. @kboyd
