Please ask Black Entertainers WHY they are not...?

Can we get Stevie Wonder and J-Z to open up about WHY they are not "having kittens"

about the "Black-on-Black killings" going on in Chicago ??? I'll even give them time

if that is a tough question for them to answer.... It is a simple and straight-forward question.

    Entertainers in general are not the smartest people in the world. Their thought is probably on the average. But their in the public eye and therefore have a pulpit to rant from. Entertainers are not politicians, are not lawyers, are not knowledgable about the judicial system and certainly should not judge others on a biased, non factual premise. How many entertainers that have spoken out on the Zimmerman/Martin case actually watched the trial and got the correct info. I'll bet not many. I like to watch these people display their variuos talents. It's fun. But when they overstep into social, political and judicial matters I tune them out. One of the most level headed of all entertainers is Bill Cosby, He was asked to speak at an African American college on the subject of black chaos in the country. He started with the idea that the most important step was the strengthening of the African American family unit and family values,which obviously in large part, are in chaos. They booed him off the stage. They should have listened to him. Black entertainers should shy away from people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who preach racism and revenge. They should listen more to people like Mr Cosby who looks at the facts and preaches "a hard look at the facts, actual solutions and building and earning respect. Black entertainers would be an imense help with this approach.

    Source(s): The President should have a talk with Mr Cosby or people with the same approach. He might learn something
  • There are some black writers over at World Net Daily which cover that and other issues very well. There are also some black entertainers such as Bill Cosby which address that and other problems. Left-wing blacks are going to continue to play the "race card" because they want to use brute Stalinist force rather than try to win people with kindness and reason.

    They will not speak out against their own people. I think when black entertainers do things like boycotting Florida because of the Zimmerman incident it shows that they harbour some racist beliefs.

    @ Josh

    The only instance of racism found in the Zimmerman trail was on the part of Trayvon who called Zimmerman a "creepy *** cracker" so you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

    P.S Copying my style just makes you look bitter and ridiculous.

    Would you kindly...
