I know you people will come for my jugular...I know I'm going to be added to lists...I'm pretty sure you folks will think I'm trolling but

If I see one more damn email from Ben & Jerry's about Iran or *insert celebrity here* commercial about going green or so and so for PETA or whatever else...I'm going to snap!

Like-- be famous, sing songs, act in movies/tv/stage, shoot free throws, catch balls or whatever it is you do.


Most of the celebrity endorsements of social/political movements I've seen look and feel disingenuous. I'm sick of it.


that is all! vent over!

Happy Monday folks!

causes and know the ins and outs of it. That's my thing. If you are gonna attach your name to something, do it bc you know what the kcuf you are talking about and you know the whole situation.

Having a celebrity attached to a cause is a major W for the cause.

That being said, what celebrities do outside their area of expertise rarely moves me.

is she offended by the bad acting?
is it really a email spam issue? should she be unsubscribing from a lot of these emails, period?
does she not realize, this is how people make their money?

does she hate nina simmone for singing (not writing) all those revolutionary songs?

or that was cool cause it sounded good?

go for it!

but social and political things that you can tell they have no knowledge of...I'm good!

I'm speaking specifically to the people who know nothing of the organization/movement they are representing.


I'm not speaking on the Jolie-Pitts or Jesse Williams or Janelle Monae or Harry Belafonte or folks who actually give a damn about the things they are speaking up for.

Not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

here's merriam

Definition of DISINGENUOUS
: lacking in candor; also : giving a false appearance of simple frankness : calculating




you shouldnt stop reading the definition at the first two words

i understand seeking clarity in this rant, for sure. but taking out your frustrations for whatever put sand in your crack is just silly. it's clear a couple of the folks in this post are not having a good morning.

BigKuntry got the gist of it. why the rest of you can't?

morning?

and the link really is terrible. it's behind a layer of authentication.

Somebody posted the fda stuff with Kim K which involves selling stuff

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

that's what somebody said on some interview i listened to that was posted here.

celebrity can be used to do good in the hood...
