In reply to the discussion: No, the outrage about wealth is not color blind [View all]Drahthaardogs
(6,843 posts)66. The problem here is you keep wanting to make this about Beyonce
I couldn't care less if it was her, Stephen Tyler, Justin Bieber, Sarandon, Aflec, or any other entertainer (including athletes). We value and PAY the wrong things here.
ALL entertainers have very limited societal value and are paid exhorbitant wages. They aren't curing cancer.
I am shocked at the response here.
What really bother me is how you took that stance and somehow twisted it into saying I attacked her for being a rich, black, woman.
I don't think you did it out of manipulation, I think you generally have your mind go there on EVERYTHING. You successfully took a post about what we value as Americans and twisted it into fitting your cause.

It's a pretty nice house. Looks to be done in a sort of Frank Lloyd Wright style.
