Because she's white, that's all

Most of you just really hate black people for some reason

I’m sorry, I don’t understand what racism has to do with this post. This is don’t you know who I am - some random person tried telling the songwriter that her song was written by Whitney Houston. They were pretty condescending about it too. A third person corrected them. A person who is black from their profile pic, by the by.

No one is even saying that Dolly Parton’s original is superior. I suspect most people would say they preferred Whitney’s version. And absolutely no one here is saying they hate black people.
