I don’t need celebrities to be outspoken or to publicly pick a side, but I do need them to utilize their resources to educate themselves before they open their mouths.
Janet Jackson has zero excuse. She hasn’t seen the news? Girl, use the Google machine. I know you have a phone and a laptop.
Chappell…people’s lives are at stake in this election. The clickety-clack long nails and indolent tone isn’t giving activist, it’s giving Marie Antoinette Let The Eat Cake. Get your mind sharp on these topics so people pay attention.
I feel like this is a uniquely American issue, or at least the extent to which it matters to people, and I think that says a lot about celebrity culture there, and maybe even the party system. Like, here in Germany, the extent of caring about what a celebrity does in terms of politics is whether they're voting for the fascists or not; but with 5-6 other big parties in the mix, they could never sway a million people like Oprah. But then, to be fair, aside from footballers (the kicking, unpadded kind), I don't think any actress, musician, anyone holds that kind of sway here. Truly fascinating and also vaguely terrifying to watch from across the pond!
