You still think Tina feels the same way?

Paying tax on money you didnt earn in that country to go towards services in that country you will not avail of?

There is a reason US is one of the only countries that does it, its dumb and unfair.... who wants to be taxed twice?

Love Tina but she went white a long time ago.
I am thinking Africans did not get into her music at the time, maybe she was doing some rock and roll stuff, or it was during a time in which her popularity was down. During the early 70's soul dominated amongst black music lovers, especially the Motown sound. My parents didn't own any Tina Turner albums. The first tape I brought of hers was private dancer. So maybe Africans were not feeling her music nor her performance at the time, it is the job of the performer to make the audience feel them, maybe it was wrong timing. Let her be partial to white people because honestly, when black Americans were not feeling her. white America was, and they are responsible for a lot of her popularity. Especially once she went rock and roll.

People can say what they want about rappers, but I was watching a behind the scenes of 2chainz and most of his people working with him were black. That made me smile. When I look at a lot of Wendy Williams staff most of her people are white, the ones in the good paying position at least. What Phyllis said is still needed today. Black folks are skilled in every job their is, so it is duty imo, that those black people who find themselves blessed enough to make the hiring decisions that they look for qualified black folks to fill those positions. That is just the way I would like to see it. But that is not always the way it is.
