Chrisette Michele has a new song called Black Lives Matter.... Amanda seales responds to apology

[MarcMan]

Green Lives Matter apparently. I take no joy in her downfall, but would-be c00ns need to see the aftermath of willfully tap-dancing for our oppressors.

I'll keep it 100: if she were a no name singer struggling to support her children and Trump called with a lucrative gig, I would have sympathy for her if she caved. But if you're eating and still decide to c00n, that's just who you are and deserve the hate you get.

Aint it....black people cape for him and gave/give thier unwavering support.....bit they gone shyt on this sista for the rest of her life.....

shyt's sad

 

[homiedontplaydat]

It's not that deep (c00ning

I think it is actually. Creating c00ns in different races of people is a very valuable tool of white supremacy. This shyt ain't an accident. If it is indeed a mental illness maybe these behaviors should be studied.

 

[get these nets]

A few people here already expressed what I was thinking even better than I could have...including the hypocrisy in the backlash against her (and not others)

Only thing to add is are there any publicists with skills around to advise/counsel celebs in this era?Lawyers work pro bono sometimes...some media expert should have helped guide her moves from behind the scenes..and then taken credit when her image rebounded.

If she was going to sing at the inauguration, her song or set list should have been deliberately ones that lowkey trolled potus or that brought people together.

Now this obvious pandering is just foolish....

This "woke era" is all fake to me regardless though. Saw the exact same trend in late 80s/early 90s. shyt is just surface level activism..and the slurs and insults that people dish out are applied selectively....so they are less about people's actions than whether you F with them or not.

This is just an objective question, but how does one like Ms. Michelle prove to the masses she has a 'genuine understanding of the mistake she made'? I'm sincerely asking. What would that look like in terms of her actions?

Luckily for her spiritual growth, she will not be able to move past this as quick as she might hope, and that is alright, because there is a lot of opportunity for growth on all levels when your ass is uncomfortable. I wish her well and believe, if she can press forward, she would come out much stronger on the other side from this.

That being said, though, be honest - would we take her seriously if she offered an apology of 'damn, I fukked up' and 'y'all pray for me'? Is this not what we often see and have come to expect of celebrities when they fukk up...that an apologies of sorts will be forthcoming and s/he will be in the business of trying to mend his/her public image? I guess I'm point is she'd probably be damned either way. Apologies are but on thing someone can offer to right his/her wrongs, but actions speak much, much louder and much more sincerely. It should be her actions which tell how sincere she is, not what she says. I'm not saying that what she is doing with this song. I'm simply saying that is a principle with anyone - let your actions speak for themselves.

It is interesting you ended your post with 'it would [have] come across WAY better' because it supports my point it is just about appearances in the mind of most.

The thing is, there is no "right way" to do it in the public with the choice she made (which is one of the most idiotic I've seen in a long time), it's just that this is obviously the wrong way going from c00ning to Activist within a years time. What I'm saying is, admit that you fukked up, and take yourself out of the public eye as much as possible. Use that time to actually educate yourself, go to therapy, find a mentor, whatever you need to do so you don't come back out like this and get rediculed because you never developed the self awareness to move properly.

It's literally a time for reflection, and not expect to find answers or acceptance from the public because she can't control that at this point. All you can do is be honest, and say "I fukked up" then fall back, like I said. It's clear when someone has done some REAL soul-searching/personal growth, and rebuilt their careers because of it...

She's really trying it. Her page is a monument. Lol

Black ppl forgave Eminem for them racist tapes, even hopped on his dikk again for his diss to Trump a month or 2 ago

Shyt was disgraceful. these rap guys ...

 

[Hiphopsocialite]

So, once someone wakes up and sees the light, are they just never allowed back into the fold? Are we just never allowed to fukk up and learn from it, acknowledge it and change?

If her music was stronger I think she would be able to bounce back. But her following isn't die hard so it was easy for people that liked her and people that didn't care to just condemn her.
I'm still trying to figure out her logic with taking the gig in the first place

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

The track is nice. Gonna need the instrumental without them terrible lyrics that sound like she wrote them in ten min, like

"This will get them on my side!"

 

[Rawtid]

I'm going to need Chrisette to fall back a little. Maybe write a couple songs, go teach some music lessons , work on her physical and mental health and get herself together. She's doing way too much after the Trump fiasco and it comes off as disingenuous at this point.

Chrisette Michelle is a c00n but nikkas here are right that people are selective when it comes to this shyt and pick and choose who to put their energy towards when shytting on c00ns. And theres A LOT of fake ass wokeness going on with famous black folks. That shyt is getting annoying as fukk.

if you not willing to give Chrisette a chance to make amends but you be dikkriding Floyd, Kanye, Kobe, watching the Breakfast Club, etc thats lame as fukk. Stop letting the fame of people effect how you judge then. That celebrity dikkriding culture is too much. If Beyonce performed at Trump inauguration people would be more willing to forgive her. Chrisette is just an easy target for people to shyt on without having to put energy towards celebs they actually do like. Charlamagne has said a million c00n things and entertains racist cacs for fukkery, but a black bank OneUnited still sponsored his ass when he changed to that fake woke shyt. So why can't Chrisette get a chance?

I'm for people being called out on their sh!t but I felt some type of way when Spike Lee dropped her from soundtrack but has no problem handing Jimmy Dolan that season ticket money every year.
