Miguel is known for making Beautiful music, but he also is not afraid of speaking his mind. Over the weekend, Miguel tweeted about his feelings on “black people” and their judgments.
Im proud of my heritage but honestly, black people are the most judgmental people in the world. Shits sad man.

we’ve been conditioned, pre-programmed to hate ourselves

that’s why I appreciate those who choose to think and act for themselves regardless of ethnicity or culture

the problem can not be fixed until the problem is recognized. Not everyone is the same thank goodness. And obviously, I love all my fans

Of course EVERYONE is judgemental. I just PERSONALLY believe WE are the most critical of our own

Fans, of course, had their own reactions to Miguel’s statements; some good and some bad.
“@MiguelUnlimited: Very sad bro, quick to point fingers without judging ones own self. Not saying like anyone is perfect, but damn,” @StreetEtiquette replied.
“@MiguelUnlimited: that’s the honest truth too I feel you on that,” @hefnersworld wrote.
“@MiguelUnlimited: Youve just met alot of those people in the world. White people can be just as bad, don’t say that. Varies per person,” @SweetKeys_ responded.
It wasn’t immediately clear what triggered Miguel’s Twitter rant, but Urban Daily reports that Miguel was responding to a fan that said he had sold his soul, to which he replied and quickly deleted, “don’t be an idiot.”
