It would be much more powerful if they talked about concrete things they're doing instead of saying the same old **** all over again. What the heck does "I take responsibility" even mean. Tell us how. Tell us what you're doing. It does and will look disingenuous because people are over celebs singing or talking about things they don't embody.

Kimblue 7,334 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 How is it different than this? This got nothing but praise. Is it because the actors were being overly dramatic?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing everyone is looking past is how different this is than even 60 years ago. Showing this type of solidarity was the exception back then, and few would have spoken up. Sure they can individually do their own things, but that's not the point of that particular video. And no matter what they contribute or how much, people will say it's not real. So how are people supposed to speak up and inform people how much they contribute if they will be criticised either way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common people's voices that need to be heard. Celebs can contribute from the sidelines instead of making videos that look like PR campaigns.

Celebrities at times can have a large influence over political matters. I wouldn't say they have no role now. Also they can further energize people. Though in a way I can get what you're saying. I don't necessarily think people should be happy with what they get and not ask for more, but demanding more and invalidating any effort doesn't sound right. Just now, derpmonster said: also, athletes are celebs but they're not nearly as rich as movie stars and popstars most of the time. Not trying to make it seem like I'm coming and you being malicious by quoting you so often, and you say "most of the time" but Michael Jordan's crazy net worth (and contribution to BLM) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
