Another actor/singer who has his HUHA when it comes to politics or the Constitution.

Justin Timberlake is calling for the removal of Confederate monuments across the country.
The singer, who is from Tennessee, posted his comments on Instagram on Monday along with a video on the subject from the American Civil Liberties Union.
“America was built by men who believed in and benefitted from racism. Plain and simple,” Timberlake said in the caption. “...those men who proudly owned and abused Black people are STILL celebrated all over the country.”
Timberlake cited a statistic that there are about 1,848 Confederate statues in the country.
“More than half are in The South, and it’s not acceptable,” he said. “No one should be protecting the legacies of confederate leaders and slave owners. If we plan to move forward, these monuments must come down.”
The pop star emphasized that the statues’ removal “does not erase our country’s vile history of oppression” but instead represents a “symbol of respect for Black people in America.”
Calls to remove Confederate statues and monuments were reignited after video of George Floyd’s arrest and death circulated the country. Floyd, an unarmed Black man, died after a now-former Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
Protests erupted nationwide after Floyd’s death, leading some demonstrators to vandalize and topple monuments of Confederate leaders and controversial historical figures.
A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed that a narrow majority of respondents approve of removing Confederate statues, and that voters are split on renaming military bases that are named after Confederate leaders.
President Trump has vowed to veto this year's defense policy bill if it includes an amendment to rename these military bases.
He has also condemned protesters advocating for the removal of statues, saying they want to "overthrow the American Revolution."
These lefty clowns have more hatred for the Americans who joined the confederacy over a hundred and fifty years ago than they do the radical Muslims who killed three thousand Americans just nineteen years ago.
So let's get rid of the Democrap party as well. The fact that a party that started a war to keep blacks enslaved is still around today is as effed up as it gets. Imagine if Germany still had the Nazi party today.
Another woke, ‘Idle rich’ liberal, with time on his hands.
he knows that the nation wasn’t built in the 1860s right? so if the nation was built on slaveholders then he doesn’t just want Confederate statues removed or he’s incredibly stupid.
it would mean he wants Washington and everyone else who founded the country removed
He’s just a rich, so-called woke, wannabe black white guy.

From this photo I can say Justin Timberlake exudes class.
And he looks very serious minded.
Who gives a crap what this peckerwood thinks.
[Who The Hell Is Justin Timberlake?]
Apparently he is a Hollywood freak megalomaniac who is attempting to repress me.
One good repression deserves another at this point.
He needs to put his d$ck back in the box.
The MSM is HIGHLIGHTING the fact he was born in Tennessee. That’s why what he’s saying is being given a large platform by the MSM.
A great many of those statues are memorials etched with the names of men who fought and died. They are sacred.
Timberlake is as southern as sushi.
I think he turned in his “YEE HAW” Card when he joined the Mickey Mouse Club.

Well then I assume he is okay with removing all statutes of American Indians, as they routinely made slaves of captives they did not kill outright. And African slaves of the Americas (particularly the U.S.) lived like kings compared to how the Indians treated their slaves.
I am immediately calling for a national divorce. I want out. Keep your violent cities, keep your unemployed snowflakes, keep your communist protesters. I will keep the constitution and be on my way. It’s time.
“Who the Hell is Justin Timberlake?”
Musician, writer, producer, jerk, came from a successful year-class of Mouseketeers:
Justin Timberlake
Christine Aguilera
Brittany Spears
Matt Morris
Most will know the first three, I know the last one. Matt Morris has written hits for Christina Aquilera, Sarah Maclachlan, Cher, etc.
Really? Who gives a shit what he says.
Justin Timberlake . . . Justin Timberlake.
Isn't Justin Timberlake the rich, white, privileged, southern boy that ripped the shirt off that young black girl, exposed her nakedness, and humiliated her on national television for the entertainment of a largely white audience?
I suspect black slaves on market day were treated better than Justin Timberlake treated that young woman. And he never served a day in prison for doing it.
