Wellesley Underground: Don't Kill Him Cause C Lo Said So »
Apart from the profanity and calling me an embarrassment, I agree with you. Vengeance is not Justice. Amen.
Here’s my point: The way people in America deal with moral, social, and political issues in the public arena has turned into such a farce that it is disconcerting. Of course C Lo Green is…
I mean- one reason C Lo Green’s opinion matters more than yours is because he is a black man in America, which ostensibly you’re not.
And, okay, I get your point that our culture’s celebrity fascination comes off as very cloying in social justice arenas, but entertainers of color have a long history of being involved in civil rights movements. C Lo Green (or Big Boi) advocating for Troy Davis/the end of the death penalty is less annoying to me than, say, Lady GaGa calling for the criminalization of bullying.
