Don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but it seemed to me that Madonna was trying to speak as if she was “in the family,” so to speak. She spoke not as a highly privileged white woman, but as if she was speaking of her own experience of oppression. Also, the video and text both felt like she was trying to prove her “genuineness” by invoking her friendship with Michael Jackson. Anyway, I don’t really know if I’m seeing what you hoped I’d see, but that’s what I saw.
