It’s not “besides the point,” Karen. It is the point. Legend is an entitled celebrity who engages in performative progressivism, which means he only speaks up/ donates to Palestinian charities when there’s no risk for him or his corporate brand. In other words, he lacks the courage of his so-called convictions. And he’s doing nothing to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza which is being directly supported by the Biden-Harris administration so he’s not helping the Palestinian people. Why are you rewarding the people who are enabling the annihilation of Gaza and the occupied West Bank (plus Israel’s new killing spree in Lebanon) by voting them (i.e., Kamala Harris and her neocon overlords) back into office? And you’re not even demanding a single thing from them. Sorry to break this to you, Karen, but you’re being played for a sucker by duplicitous Democrats.
I’m afraid, I agree with you Zizi. Whilst watching any video, clip, newsreel etc…., I try to take myself out of subjective mode, and attempt to view things from an objective lens. I don’t know much of John Legend to be able to criticise him per se, but it seemed to me, that he was making sure to be very selective with his choice of words, and had already created/formulated an “out”, which is to say, “I don’t know enough to weigh-in…..and I need a comeback to any online post that I tender…” Therefore, he ensured that what he said, by seeking to qualify his statement almost immediately, was designed to protect his credibility and status, which oozed with someone who wasn’t (by choice??) speaking entirely freely. That said, at least he said SOMETHING, and by donating something, he is doing something!! Only he really knows his intentions, the rest is speculation!
