More Republican bigotry

One grammy winner gets a proclamation from the state of Tennessee, the other one does not. What was the difference guiding the choice? Skin color.

Tennessee House GOP Blocks Proclamation Honoring Grammy Winner Allison Russell, While Letting Similar Measure for Paramore Pass​


View attachment 902858

When it comes to Tennessee's recently Grammy-winning musical heroes, the state's House Republicans are making it clear - they're good with Paramore, but not so much Allison Russell, for reasons yet to be explained.

Tennessee Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) brought resolutions before the body to honor the Grammy achievements of Paramore, who won for best rock album and best alternative music performance, and Russell, who picked up her first Grammy for best American roots performance for the song "Eve Was Black."

Although both Russell and Paramore singer Hayley Williams have made their displeasure with the GOP-controlled legislature known in the past, only one of these two proclamations was blocked. The resolution honoring Paramore sailed through, but the complementary one celebrating Russell was effectively killed.


Then people wonder why DEI is necessary.
Has the state of tn never given this sort of honor to a black person? If they have it sort of torpedos your claim
