It gives creedence to the false notion that this unqualified, dangerous, criminal, twitter-addicted traitor to his country deserves the presidency. No one has to come up with anything abstract. He has a rap sheet of anti-black racial discrimination against Black people - including two DOJ lawsuits against him. He wants to implement nationwide stop and frisk. That's enough right there.
A lot of us are holding up Chrisette to scrutiny because she is one of our own, and we expect a higher standard - a deeper awareness of what a bigot and a racist is, born of her living her entire life as a Black woman in the U.S.
People of all races in the entertainment industry are participating in this boycott, because they have eyes and functioning brains to be able to see how wrong this is. It is shameful of Chrisette to perform at this event as an American even before it is shameful of her as a Black woman.
If we can critique Steve Harvey, Stephen A. Smith, Charles Barkley, Stacey Dash or anyone else for their coonery, Chrisette Michele is not exempt. We don't have to be unified as a people on every issue before we can do that. That's nothing but a variation of that "What about black-on-black crime" tactic.
