Lady Gaga says every American from birth drinks "the poison that is white supremacy."
The "Rain on Me" singer talked about systemic racism and celebrity activism in an interview with Billboard for its latest issue, released Thursday.
"I am in the process of learning and unlearning things Ive been taught my whole life," the 34-year-old entertainer, who was born Stefani Germanotta, told the magazine.
When youre born in this country, we all drink the poison that is white supremacy, the New York native said. "Social justice is not just a literacy, its a lifestyle."
What do I think about [posting] a black square? I think everybody has a different feeling about a black square," Gaga said, referring to the digital initiative called Blackout Tuesday that aimed to amplify Black voices.
"Do I think theres such a thing as performative activism? Yes. Do I think theres been true activism thats been very important and needed? Yes. Do I believe Black lives matter? Yes," the performer continued. "Do I believe this is going to get louder? Yes. Do I believe it should? Yes.

Lady Gaga is living proof that white people are no better than anybody else.
Yeah. I do it every time I read Shakespeare. I do it every time I look at a Renoir painting or listen to music composed by Mozart.
Hey "Lady" Gaga: Let me know about the Schvatzas who compare.

1. For a very long time I could enjoy listening to Lady Gaga but not watch her slutty stage persona.
2. I have seen her sing, just sing, without any costume or stage props, and THAT I can enjoy.
3. But why would I or should I give a rats ass what ANY celebrity thinks about any important subject?? Who in the hell makes them important on matters they have no working expertise in outside their own profession.
Lady GAGA-— DID YOUR white position also include all those trips on Epstein’s jet???
I know a lot of Brits, Germans and French who dont think of Italians, Greeks, or Portuguese as white. You should hear black people, particularly Caribbeans, talk about Haitians; it would make a klansman blush.
Northern Italians don’t even consider Southern Italians to be White.
Being born white is the new original sin. So GaGa what did you do to gain absolution for being born white?
That’s insane!
They are all misinformed.
“Northern Italians dont even consider Southern Italians to be White.”
Who does?
