Or you could just refrain from commenting if you cant make an argument that isnt emotional.

Like I said.. you read what you wanted. Everyone knows you get yourself off on being triggered.

The more money you have, the less that identity choice actually matters because it really isn't about their identity and more about exploiting whatever the target demographic is.

A different example - in regards to Robert Johnson (founder of BET), who is a black billionaire and comes from low-income household beginnings, a guy who says that "Democrats have moved too far left", is it fair to criticize him when he tells young black men and women that they can all be just like him (bootstrapping) with a little hard work? He's a rich and powerful person using his identity as a weapon to insulate himself from criticism in his particular field.

All I'm saying is that celebrities are fair game if punching up is what it's all about. Even if the color of that celebrity's skin is orange. :cool:
