singing at inauguration doesnt equate to Trump endorsement

everyday I get paid less than she's gonna make to do a job Im not into

>singing at inauguration doesnt equate to Trump endorsement


not saying she does in fact endorse Trump, but it can certainly be used to support that she does.

>singing at inauguration doesnt equate to Trump endorsement

It's close enough, would they sing at a David Duke inauguration ?

Depends on how you feel about Trump. If you think he's xenophobic and racist what's the difference between this then lets say singing for the Stormfront Coachella, lol.

A check is a check, but we gotta draw the line sometimes. Similar to how during Jim Crow many black AND white artists wouldn't play segregated spaces. This isn't a normal election cycle and Trump intentionally rose a nationalistic, xenophobic wave into power.

McNulty: If she knows Trump supporters are racists who hate women, why would she perform at inauguration?

street kid: got to. this America,man

she more like Herc when he started working for Levy.

I guess she gotta eat. Can't think of any other motivation to perform for Trump with a lineup of 3 Doors Down (who I used to really like) and Toby Kieth. Oh, well...her first cd "I Am" was the BIZNESS!! I'll always have that.

Way back in the day, Hall & Oats were asked to play the Sun City resort in South Africa during apartheid. At the time they were still a struggling band. They were offered a LOT of money, but turned it down because 'apartheid'.

I know musicians struggling WAY more than her, would turn down Trump. Right is right and this is wrong. No matter the money.

Because appealing to the common sense/kindness, "both sides deserve to be heard" has brought us here.

Foxnews and the right has no problem doing the same, remember the Dixie chicks during the Bush years? No quarter SHOULD be given imho.

Ignoring the beaten to death, re-resurrected, and re-beaten to death DNC and election sycle...

The right's spin was so crazy we are now at the point where a sizeable amount of niggas feel she's running a cute white baby fucking and sacrificing ring(outside of the illuminati, they must be pissed), has trained assassins to kill her political rivals and intentionally let dozens of 'mericans in Benghazi while she and Huma were fucking.

Even if you think she's the worst example of a political candidate and person ever, all that shit above...strictly from the right...ain't help and was at least partially effective.

Lets throw it back at em. RUSSIAN HOOKERS FOR EVERYONE.

Artists don't get paid to perform at inaugurations

White House invitations typically don't pay either

Only reason artists do it is caché and access (White House gigs) or exposure given how many people are watching (inaugurations)

I could excuse it if she was hard up for some money but this is some typical "we need to pray and work with the enemy" bullshit.

Significant miscalculation either way

Fox will spin this into a racial divide and whites will run out and buy that shut up to prove they aren't dividers...

They prolly won't open it or listen to it but they will buy it just cause Black folk are mad at her.

I expect such epic kickbacks in the future it's going to make African dictators blush.

The US GOV may not write that check, but gar-run-teed (*plays some dixie fiddle*) a 'donor' will.

You never know

Though I understand that the significant line item costs are security and admin, rarely artist fees

Perhaps they're paying out of desperation

Either way, big miscalculation on her team's part

I cry at the thought that Black History, American History might be in vain.

This country has had great moments. God has shined His light upon us.

Today, I hope that Great Moments begin in peaceful & progressive conversation. I am willing to be a bridge. I don't mind "These Stones", if they allow me to be a voice for the voiceless.

It's funny that the same people that love to claim that there's no such thing as a Monolithic Black Voice all of a sudden want to claim a Monolithic stance on what Blacks should protest,

or that we're a monolith. Folks are just calling her out for tacitly endorsing a bigot. She's free to have her own voice. Folks are just free to call her out on it and refuse to have further dealings with her.

I wouldn't listen to Kid Rock anyway. I know what his politics are and wouldn't give him my money. She is someone folks have supported and are stating that they no longer will.

But to answer your question, yes, I think it is especially egregious that she is performing for someone (and a group of people) so openly hostile to people of her race and gender.

on.

and I think that's evident in the lack of popular white performers signing up. The vast majority of the entertainers are people who publicly have pretty far right views. If Justin Timberlake or (insert mainstream white artist) was performing, they would similarly be getting the side eye.

If you're trying to make the argument that white artists on the left aren't feeling pressure to toe the party line, you're wrong.

It's why the list of performers are full of D rated celebs.

You gotta be more specific.

Anyway you created a false equivalency when you asked where is the 80 reply post about someone white or if she was white would this thread exist. If you go to a country message board when the Dixie Chicks got white lashed you would find that post. On here a white Chrisette Michele is not going to get the same response.
