Chrisette Michele To Perform At Trump's Inauguration

[dh86]

If her supporters were paying her bills she wouldn't have thought about doing this..can't pay your mortgage with likes

When was the last year you think shes worked a regular job?

 

[Piff Perkins]

250,000? Nah, she a lame for this lol. She sexy but this was whack!

She prob hasn't made that much money in years. Not saying she should have performed but her career was virtually over before this. Even her songwriting career seems dead.

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Nobody in this thread or anyone you know in real life has likely bought her albums or purposely listened to her music in years

Same as musiq soul child I don't blame her for getting her money but at he same time they gotta bring a bigger bag of that was me

'get it gurl.. go get that paper'..

This c00n logic, never ceases to amaze me

How is performing for the govt sellin out? She is a singer paid to sing. The election is over.

Should no black business or people take govt money and contracts for the next 4 years? A lotta folks going broke and businesses shutting down if that's the case... The election is over. Are blacks in the military gonna quit now that they report to Trump?

[Panther]

She getting paid to perform, not be on the dudes cabinet.


Like hov and bey tapdancing for Hilary was any worse

And what will that accomplish for the black community for the next 4 years? Enlighten me. If he is a racist bigot do you really think he gives a damn you or the black communities feelings towards him? You think any of these politicians really do? Dem or repub, doesnt matter.. if they really cared the black community wouldnt in be in the condition it is in.

You proceed to say that black people need to take responsibility for ourselves and our communities. Well why doesn't it apply to the above? You say "if they really cared the black community wouldn't be in the condition it is in" as though one of these parties is gonna be negotiated into fixing things for us. What we need is people who aren't actively working against it as white supremacists. Which is what these people are.

You dont get what ask or beg for in politics. You get what you negotiate. You're more worried about being liked than respected. Thats the problem with a lot of people who think like you do. Thats why yall support racist white liberals and democrats. They figured that out a long time ago and blacks been content and blindly supporting them ever since. People don't need to like you to have respect for you and do business with you. And thats the mentality you have to have when dealing with trump. The time for complaining and protesting is over.. and the time for negotiating is almost running out..

You don't negotiate with terrorists. Which is what these people are. You're clearly either white or one of these nu-blacks who think embracing things that are against our best interests are the key to success. Being anti-affirmative action, anti-government assistance, anti-equality laws. It's a bunch of bullshyt. Somehow people have turned liberalism into racism in a backwards bizarro logic idea where they don't respect black people because they admit that we can't get ahead by ourselves because the gulf is too wide (by the way, it's totally condescending to even say that because the fact of the matter is that most black people just happen to be liberal). What we need is more opportunity, more unity, more mobilization. Trump's people don't respect us. Get that out of your head completely. I'm not walking up to shake this guy's hand. It's either a ploy or an ambush. But you believe what you're gonna believe, I doubt anything I say is gonna convince you.

The difference with a musical artist is that she is her own brand and her fans are not only fans of the music, but they are fans of her and what she supposedly stands for.

So for all the women that felt that "black girl magic" with her, they feel betrayed.

This wasn't simply doing business with the government. This was an endorsement for a guy that is working to actively oppress and disenfranchise her fans.

I don't know, what does that have to do with her current financial situation?

These parties are the reason black communities are in this condition .It took government policy to destroy the black community and it will take policy to build it back. No community survives on it own. They are all getting millions of dollars in govt aide. They are not doing anything special or anything better than blacks. That's what the racist want you to think. That somehow blacks are inferior and everyone else magically thrives and succeeds on their own. Black Economic empowerment is the key and the only way the black community will ever thrive again. And that's the one topic that you will never hear come out the mouth of politicians mouth voluntarily. That's the only conversation that truly matters. The racist that run the country know this as well so they keep you distracted and focused on symbolism and meaningless gestures or policy.

You don't negotiate with terrorists. Which is what these people are.

This country negotiates with terrorist everyday. We create them too. We make deals with our perceived enemies and negotiate terms and trades deals etc.. We dont like them and they dont like us but there is a mutual level of respect. We deal with Russia, Iran, China, etc.. not cause we like to but cause we live in the world with them an have to.

Same way blacks live in this country. That's just the reality. We are completely integrated into this society now.. Going backwards or complete separation is a fantasy. You are a keyboard activist.. Your not going to war with racist whites anytime soon. Are you going to fight and kill all the white supremacist? You probably wont even quit your day job.

The idea you are pushing that blacks shouldn't work with the govt when most blacks(and americans) are currently dependent on the govt is beyond silly. We pay taxes. This is our country too.

You're clearly either white or one of these nu-blacks who think embracing things that are against our best interests are the key to success. Being anti-affirmative action, anti-government assistance, anti-equality laws.

Not sure how you could twist my works to come those silly assumptions. But to educate you affirmative action worked great when it was just for black people. Now gays and white women are the biggest beneficiaries. You can thank your liberal friends for that since they include everyone as "minorities". I'm pro affirmative action for blacks only. I also strongly believe in reparations for blacks only. Black issues are unique due to the history of this country and the solutions need to be unique to address black people only. Liberalism has become a way for racist to avoid having to address black people directly by lumping every one(including gay whites and white women) under the "minority" banner.

On one hand, this is an actual example of "selling out". Then again, a check is a check. Let's not kid ourselves, a lot of the keyboard militants on social media would sing and dance for a $200,000+ payday. Too bad she used the "building bridges" reasoning, she should've just said she was pursuing a lucrative opportunity and kept it moving .

This is my only issue.
