Entertainers have a platform not many people get so they use it to the best they can,so what? It's up to you and I to either like and or agree or disagree with them.That is America.

There is a big difference between constructing art to send an effective message versus grandstanding, talking about things they cannot to relate too or being a hypocrite for causes from which their own platform is built upon don’t practice it. Clear as fuck examples when talking about Hollywood and the media: gender equality when it comes to pay and sexual assault and rape in the workplace.
These people are clowns...don’t tell the rest of the country how to live when when you allow this type of behavior in your workplace.
