Oh, boy, do we! I remember when a very young Barbra Streisand said to Como around 1961: “I don’t like Boy Singers.” She started the trend!

Why do I think that if the message had been “White Power”, we would already know the perpetrator’s name, home address and title — “white supremacist”?

Yes! Como got as far as he did only because of his white male privilege.
Side story: Como started out as a barber. He continued to renew his barber’s license long after he became famous, just in case the singing thing didn’t work out.

If a statue of Martin Luther King was vandalized, they would demand the execution of the vandal.
