what she did wasn't revolutionary but damn. give her credit for saying SOMETHING.

i heard a story about somebody asking michael jordan to speak out in favor of a democrat running for office against a racist republican in north carolina where MJ is held in high regard. they said jordan refused and explained the refusal by saying something about republicans buying sneakers too.

not sure how true the story is but i believed it (still do, even though i haven't properly fact-checked it) because it seems like some shit he would say/do.

anyway

we live in a time where the jordans of the world have all these eyes on them and they have the chance to influence millions and they don't say or do anything.

beyonce said something. she did something. and for me that counts for something...
