RNC gospel singer BeBe Winans slammed with racist, hateful Tweets
RNC gospel singer BeBe Winans slammed with racist, hateful Tweets | Video | TheBlaze.com
Continuing to parade their ignorant assumptions about who should and should not be a Republican, liberals on Twitter unleashed a fury of hate on famed gospel singer BeBe Winans after Mr. Winans delivered a stunning performance from the Republican National Convention.
went to YouTube to see if I could find a video of Mr. Winans phenomenal performance and stumbled across this a reporter bluntly asking the black singer, Why are you here??
Now, I could be reading too much into this, but I sensed some of the implied stereotypes in the reporters question. Like many black conservatives are asked every day, I inferred that this reporter was wondering what attracted a black man to the Republican Party because, you know, conservatives are all Uncle Tom racists and what-not.
I want to first and foremost commend Mr. Winans for not turning and walking away from this woman. Instead, he gives the best possible answer to this obnoxious question: Why not be here? We are all Americans first. When the reporter assumes Mr. Winans must have been paid to attend (because seriously, why else would he?!?!), he responds: Not a dollar given. He goes on to explain that his music asks for Americans to come together. If we unite then theres nothing we cant accomplish I didnt get paid a dime, but Im glad I came.
Bravo!
If someone asked me this insulting question, I. Would. Explode. I would turn into this crazy-annoyed sarcastic Hulk-of-a-person and start shouting about how this is a free country.
Its as if liberals think blacks arent allowed to be Republicans. Its as if liberals think blacks shouldnt be Republicans or that blacks shouldnt perform in front of Republican audiences. Its such an insulting degradation of character and one of the most blatantly racist things Ive witnessed in a long time. This reporter should be ashamed of herself.
-----------Here! Here! BRAVO!!
