Pharrell's tearful discussion with Oprah made headlines earlier this week, and now Pharrell's views on "The New Black" have gotten fans and foes speaking out via social media.
When the topic arose of Black women feeling excluded from the cover of "G I R L," the VA native explained his view of "The New Black":
"The new black doesn't blame other races for our issues. The new black dreams and realizes that it's not pigmentation, it's a mentality. It's either going to work for you or it's going to work against you and you've got to pick which side you're gonna be on. You choose to be on... There are certain people who allow the delusion in the mirror, in their own mirrors, to become issues. You should not find confidence outside of your mirror. Why are you sharing your delusion? Whatever that space is between you and your mirror, what does that have to do with me?"
With many feeling Pharrell is out of touch or out of line for implying there's a "right" and "wrong" way to be black, twitter took the opportunity to respond with #WhatKindOfBlackAreYou.
Peep the tweets above. Does Pharrell have a point?
