Niggas love to say “but they got more money than you ever made” to legitimate arguments on why a celebrity or famous person should be listened to even though money is not an indicator of doing the right thing

“Kendrick made you think about it, but he is not your savior, Cole made you feel empowered, but he is not your savior Future said, “Get a money counter,” but he is not your savior, ‘Bron made you give his flowers, but he is not your savior. He is not your savior”

I mean when was Malcom X wrong about anything
But yes, looking for leadership in those who have been used by the cia to destroy the blk community from the inside out for decades has got to be stopped

Idk if it’s my high ego, but I can never relate to celebrity worship. Like oh this person made a song I like, let me follow them like they Jesus.
– spends decades studying medicine and science… nah
– 50yr old dumbass on steroids who talks about people getting punched in the face…. Yes I’ll trust his medical and scientific research that have been proved wrong.
Sometimes I wonder how we progressed this far as a species.

It’s a little more complicated than that. Some celebrities have used their platform to call out injustice and support worthy causes. James Brown, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin are all examples of entertainers that helped support the civil rights movement.
I wouldn’t treat celebrities like leaders of movements, but they push agendas in a positive way.

Don’t know how to put it, but a lot of discourse within the Black community about how to uplift itself seems to be based around saying stuff with the right cadence and gesticulation to elicit an approving nod from others, not about sharing practical actionable advice that gets actually applied.

Celebrities used to have roving bands of fans scouring the internet for negative comments made on their idol’s behalf, like digital Mad Max-style raiders, ready to ride, shiny and chrome, to Valhalla on behalf of corporate creations.

I’m so glad I got off her train early. I liked her in 09 when she first came out and by the time she came out with pink Friday I was over her. I like a feature every now and then and that hasn’t been since 2016. She’s been a clown so the current behavior doesn’t surprise me. She just had don lemon arrested pretty much but I bet her brother will be out of prison by the end of the year and her husband’s record will disappear.

The whole reason why Dave Chappelle’s ja rule joke works so well. Why on earth would anyone ever allow wait for an entertainer to give an opinion and then shape their response to a situation based on that entertainer’s opinion?
Its like getting financial advice from someone who was 50,000 dollars in debt before winning 200k at a casino.
