Kathy Griffin made a bad move by sharing an image of her with a fake decapitated head looking like Donald Trump with TMZ. Obviously this was going to be big news, she knew that…. BUT the bad taste image that she tried to pass off as “art” was supposed to bring her attention for being edgy and cool…. Quite the opposite.
Beheading isn’t funny in any sense. It’s one of the fear tactics employed by militant extremists throughout Africa and the middle East. These groups are bringing fear and destroying the lives of many of our African and Arab brothers, Christians and Muslims alike, who live in countries that have probably collapsed in large because of years of abuse at the hands of the West.
I am all for hating on Trump, attacking his bullsh*t, joking about his hair or orangutan-like appearance HOWEVER the beheading stunt was a little too far. It’s almost making an excuse for an ideology that is absolutely not OK. Terrorism is something that’s been allowed to flourish under the gaze of the West yet affects us the least. It’s arrogant and insensitive to joke about it at this level.
So, I am glad her career is tanking, going down the drain, after this misstep. She deserves the backlash and the job losses. We have to take responsibilities for our actions.
Now, let’s resume bashing Trump and fighting his crap in the appropriate manner. Agree?
