Yesterday, this column reported on the disgust
among civil rights activists at Chicago's Martin Luther King Jr.
library when an anti-Madonna site filled with hateful posts (one—with
the gorilla represented Madonna’s next adopted kid—was erased) was
shown.
There were several bigoted email posts from supposed "little
monsters" who called me a "Spic," "Dirty Mexican," and an "Illegal
Pu**y." Those were actually some of the nicer posts I received. It was
very heart breaking since I always considered myself a fan of Lady
Gaga's as well. In fact, I have seen her in concert 3 times and have
paid a lot of money to do so.
Today, a tweet
from Lady Gaga’s beloved producer DJ White Shadow has made its round.
The tweet reads, “Somebody needs to take their old lady medications
before they are allowed to talk in public,” which obviously refers to
Madonna. There are also some other harsh words.
True civil rights leaders and followers believe nobody should be
discriminated against for something they are not in control of and age
is one of them. Lady Gaga is an extremely talented woman who has done a
lot of commendable work for gay rights. Perhaps she will speak out
against the hate being spread by some of her fans and employees. We sent
an email to her publicist, but have not received a response.
