I’ve never really been able to figure out what it is
about those in the ‘entertainment’ industry that actually makes them think that
they are just so darn much smarter than the rest of us. This despite the fact that there are a great
many of us who remain stupid enough to spend our hard-earned money to purchase
a movie ticket or buy some music CD. One
of the most recent of these ‘so-called’ entertainers to voice his displeasure
with President Trump is none other than ‘singer’ John Legend. Who seems to think people care what he thinks
about the president.
Anyway, it was in a series of Tweets, on Thursday,
that the stellar Mr. Legend saw fit to attack President Trump for having
referred to violent MS-13 gang members as “animals,” saying that it is “much
more honest and challenging to realize they were all babies once.” Reflecting on the news of the day from the
hospital with his newborn son, Legend argued that heinous actions did not change
the fact that even the worst offenders MS-13 had to offer were still human. Perhaps if one of these ‘animals’ were to
attack a member of his family he might think differently?
And of course I would have been totally shocked had
Legend not gone on to blame the United States, suggesting that American policy
is in some way responsible for the rise of MS-13. Legend concluded that even allowing the most
brutal gang members to be called “animals” would open the door for those who
wanted to further oppress them and others. Legend has apparently reversed his position on
“dehumanizing large groups of people” since September of 2017, when the
performer held a casting call for “out of shape” white actors to play Trump
supporters in a video.
Now Legend does appear to be one of those very rare
folks in his industry who actually attended some form of higher education,
attending the University of Pennsylvania.
But for the life of me I can’t quite figure out how studying English
with an emphasis on African-American literature provided him with sufficient
insight regarding such things as U.S. foreign policy. I mean who knew? But hey, there’s clowns out there with less
education, or no education at all, who think they’re experts on everything from
immigration to economic policy.
So from safely behind the gates of his well-protected
home he blames America every chance he gets, these gang members have parents
who do not parent that is why they are in violent gangs and it’s not the fault
of this country. Legend does not have to
live here, most Americans are happy for the blessing to live in this country
but obviously he is not one of them.
Easy to sit behind a keyboard and lob out nonsense. I wonder, will be soon be hearing how it was
that he invited them into his home for a little cocktail party. No security or
media, of course. We'll see what happens.
So, according to Legend the NRA is a danger to
America and cops are killing innocent black folks, but we need to stop dehumanizing
MS-13. If Barry ‘O’ had referred to MS-13
as animals all of these liberals would be in lock step and repeating his words.
Instead they are all bending over
backwards to defend these murderous thugs. Somebody should point
out to this douche bag that MS-13's hideous and chronicled gang actions and
activities are what dehumanizes them and, yes, they are animals and sub-humans,
just like the terrorists who cut off heads.
But perhaps Instead of trying to infer that he knows
these people so well, why doesn’t Legend put his money where his big mouth is
and actually demonstrate how peaceful and normal these people truly are. Maybe he should do a video with them or let
them mingle with his Hollyweird friends. Or maybe she should sponsor some of their
humanitarian projects. C'mon man, how us
how good and noble these people are. But he’s not going to do that because he’s
all talk and no action. And he hates the
president, it’s called putting your politics ahead of commonsense.
