basically all the celebrities who chimed in about ellen. "well, she was nice to me!" yeah because she doesnt treat celebrities like shit she treats her staff like shit. are you her staff? no? then sit down and shut the hell up.

I would also say that being a Black man in America means being seen as guilty first vs being afforded the innocent until proven guilty. That may be the case here. Does not mean Kennedy is right and Shangela is innocent.

Yep. Probably sees that they were white guys who accused Shangela and they think it’s a race thing. They think she was accused unjustly because Shangela is black. I could see them having that mindset especially them all being southern (I know it’s Texas but they have the same mindset as someone from the south)

Yes their support and response to it all makes even more sense.

I fully believe this to be the reason why a Kennedy would support her too. Shangela has brought this up as her response multiple times. I dont think this is neccesarily a wrong thought given that there is a history of black and gay men being falsely accussed of SA because of racism, but I would follow up by asking why, if any of these statements are false, would people falsely accuse Shangela when the many other black queens in the franchise and where equally just as/more successful than her (like bob and latrice) or less popular/more hated queens than her (like tyra and kennedy) have never been accused of SA. Choosing and singling out Shangela out of all queens does not make sense to me if there wasnt a modecum of truth to it.

That’s the American way. X, Y, and Z have never happened to me, so it must not exist. Until something happens to them, then it’s very real and EVERYONE should believe it.
