Queen Latifah? What did she say/do? I remember Sister Souljah putting her foot into her mouth, but I don't remember Queen Latifah doing anything stupid.
I believe that all people have the same basic needs and values and to put one race ahead of another, or behind another is destructive, equally so. Here is one quote I found:
During interviews Sunday for her forthcoming film “Beauty Shop,” which stars African actor Djimon Hounsou as her boo, Latifah gave us her take on the issue.
“My take is America’s racist,” she says with authority. “That’s pure racism, and capitalism. It’s like, ‘How can we make the most money? Okay, well, we’re gonna pair you up with this person so you can bring that audience, and you can bring this audience’, but, it’s a shame. I hate the idea that you can’t have a black couple - which you can, it’s just the question of how much money you want to make and how bankable you think it is.”
She said some more outrageous things earlier (which I have forgotten) but as soon as she started making big money as a "Star" she has kept quiet.
Just like a whore, her values depend on the money.
