It's Freedom of Speech Until...Let's Talk Kim Burrell

It's freedom of speech until the words offend you!

I'm not a fan of Kim Burrell. That's why I didn't join the bash fest. I don't like bashing folks just to be bashing. I've liked one song in her whole discography. That's I Come to You More Than I Give. I was one of the few before the controversy. Most of her music never moved me. Also her behavior on the show, Sunday Best was disfavorable to me. She would rudely laugh in the faces of auditioners who sang badly. Her words of disapproval weren't always constructive.

It's freedom of speech as long as the words don't hurt you.

I'm not calling anybody a hypocrite. Nor do I want to blame the victim. Yet, amazing to me how it was ok for her to act that way on a gospel singing show but when she says something homophobic, it's a problem. Oh she cracked you on Sunday Best. Mean is Mean in my book. Just like the mean comments about her wig. Her critics suddenly noticed her wig was tattered. What did the wig do to you?

Freedom of Speech is not without consequence even for the victim.
